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.head of the Blackburn Diocese Centenary year in 2026 Bishop Philip is encouraging all parish churches to make 2025 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
At the next 2 meetings of the Wednesday Home Group ( 28th Jan and 11th
Feb) we will be studying Romans chapter 8 which sets out some of the
most wonderful blessings we enjoy as believers: being free from God’s
condemnation; indwelt by God’s own Spirit; adopted into his family;
destined for resurrection and glory; and full of hope because of God’s love
for us and because of his promise to bring good to us in every circumstance
of life. You would be very welcome to join us. For more details please
contact David on davidpgascoigne@gmail.com or on 07768 303462
