THE Bishop of Warrington has issued a rallying call to the town’s community ahead of Back to Church day next Sunday, September 26.
Bishop Richard Blackburn is hoping people who have not been to church for weeks, months, or years will try the modern church.
Congregations have been handing out invitations to friends and family, and the bishop wants to further extend this invitation to the whole of Warrington.
He said: “I think that people returning will be pleasantly surprised at the church of 2010.
“Those who have not been for years will find vibrant communities, where everyone is included.
“Going to church is not just about sitting in pews and listening. It is about ‘doing’, being part of a community and finding support in others and God.
“There are some extremely exciting things going on in Warrington, with many parishes exploring new and innovative ways to reach out and to support people.” To find your nearest church and service times visit achurchnearyou.com.
