Dying Matters Week
6th - 12th May 2024
You are invited to mark "Dying Matters Week" which runs from 6th - 12th May. Churches Together in Lancashire has been invited by the Lancashire & South Cumbria Integrated Care Partnership to assist in the implementation of its End-of-Life Strategy. Church and Faith groups have an important community role in supporting people on their final journey, helping them and their families to prepare for death, offering long term bereavement care and loving support. It would be good hear about any programme that your church or group offers in this important area of spiritual and pastoral care. You can find resources for DMW here:

We are now on the journey to Pentecost with the ten days from Ascension to Pentecost marked out with the global ecumenical programme of prayer "Thy Kingdom Come". You are encouraged to come together ecumenically to pray for each other, each community and for the world.

THE BIG LANCASHIRE PRAYER WALK
May 18th 2024
We'd love Christians all over Lancashire to join together to go on prayer walks; using the rivers and canals in their communities to cover the region in prayer! People could walk, run, cycle, even get a barge boat and pray over our communities using the canal and river network that connects so much of Lancashire.
If you're interested in being involved then the proposal is that we could work together to pick routes along the rivers or canals in your community and prayer walk at some point on the 18th May; either as an individual or with a group of other Christians. We'd encourage you to aim to pray for up to an hour but don't want to limit your enthusiasm! If you need a prayer walk guide you could use this excellent resource from 24-7 prayer. 29 How to Prayer Walk.pdf (24-7prayer.com)
For those with mobility issues they can engage in prayer from their homes and join with us for praying for Lancashire!
We plan to use routes along the Leeds - Liverpool Canal, the Lancaster Canal and the River Ribble; if you want to get take a look at these routes on the network and where they are in correlation to where you live, work and worship then go Canal & River Trust (canalrivertrust.org.uk)
If you're interested in engaging with this Prayer Walk idea then please do contact me directly!
