Dear Friends, 

 

Please find attached our March 2023 United Benefice Magazine, along with our event posters supplement and two advert supplements. Thank you, as always, to everyone who has contributed. 

 

This month, as well as being full of information about local groups, events and services, the magazine contains a number of articles with opportunities to help and contribute locally. These are both in terms of donating a small amount of time to church or churchyard maintenance and gardening and also in terms of making donations to The Children’s Storehouse, Blackburn Foodbank and Chorley & District Support for Ukraine. Please see inside the magazine for further details and consider helping where you can. 

 

Our events supplement, for our busy local community, includes posters with details of: 

 

• A Women’s World Day Of Prayer Service at Wilpshire Methodist Church
