The Warmth Continues!
The service welcoming Rev Linda and Pete to the Parish of Ribbleton was everything we hoped it would be, and more. As we take the first steps together at the start of a new phase in the life and witness of our parish, we look back with deep gratitude to all those who have supported us through the last fifteen months. Now's the time to take a deep breath, and look forward in the direction the Spirit is leading us.
At a practical level, within a matter of days the first trial runs of the new heating system in St Mary Magdalene's will take place. We may even have heating for our services. If you haven't visited one or other of the churches for a while, for whatever reason, now would be a good time to come along and find what we mean by a 'warm welcome'.

Being the Church following the coronavirus precautions
There is a service each Sunday, in The Ascension at 9.30am, and in St Mary Magdalene's at 11am, and also every Wednesday at 10am at St Mary Magdalene's (or in the Parish Hall while the new church heating is being installed).
There are now no legal restrictions about Covid-19 safety; but we ask you to continue to be careful in our churches. If you have had a positive test for Covid-19, please still stay at home until the infection has cleared. Some of our members are vulnerable, and to help keep them safe we ask you to wear a mask if you have any kind of infection that could be passed on, such as 'flu or a heavy cold, and not to get too close to other people.
If you are in any way particularly vulnerable to the effects of Covid-19, you may still feel you would be better praying at home. Although you are not praying in the church, you will still be praying with the Church.
Whether or not we worship together, we are all still The Church. For those who want to continue to worship God at home with prayer and the weekly Bible readings, or are looking for suggestions of other resources to use at home, these can be found by clicking on 'This Week'.
