A message of thanks from Bishop Julian as the pandemic continues ...
"A massive thank you to so many around the diocese for the energy, creativity, and adaptability you are displaying during the continuing pandemic; ensuring that church life remains open"
Talk to God in prayer (includes Blackburn Diocese Prayers)
Prayer puts God at the centre of our lives and allows us to start a conversation with Him. We can be forgiven for the things that have gone wrong as we can always start again with God.
