Courses and Events
Lent at St Chad's
Ecumenical Lent Lunches, supporting Christian Aid, commence today at 12.30pm in Poulton URC. Next Sunday Lent Lunch will be at St Martin’s and St Hilda’s Church.
Ecumenical Lent Groups begin on Wednesday at St Chad’s at 7:30pm. The group at
Poulton Methodist Church will commence on Thursday 4th March.
We will be studying a course created by our own Bishop Philip and titled Knowing
Jesus and Exploring Jesus through the Acts of the Apostles. All are welcome. No need
to reserve a place or book.
There are still a few Lent Devotionals to assist you with daily reflections through to
Easter.
St Chad's Church prayer meetings
Our monthly prayer meetings take place in church at 6.30-7.30pm on the second Monday of each month. Everyone is welcome to join us as we continue to pray that God would help us as a church to make disciples, to be witnesses, to grow leaders and to inspire children and young people.
Prayer triplets
Bishop Philip is encouraging all parish churches to make 2026 a year of prayer and in particular to pray for growth in our churches.
One idea which Lee Gascoigne has found helpful and encouraging in the past is “prayer triplets” i.e. three people meeting together weekly/regularly at their convenience to pray together. Everyone is welcome to join in and so if you would like to be in a prayer triplet, please let Lee know and she will link you up with two other people. Lee can be contacted on 07771 797042 or gascoigne.family@btinternet.com
Big Day Out
Excitment is building for our Big Day Out to gather together and celebrate our diocesan centenary in the centre of Blackpool, on Saturday 16th May 2026.
