It was lovely to see some of our young people and leaders St John's Farnworth this morning as they led the congregation in prayer.

Alison had a lovely time St John's Farnworth for worship this morning. The young people St John's Youth Group F³ did an amazing job leading prayers as did ALMs Steph & Alison in leading worship. 🙌 Thankful to share about some of the exciting things God is doing in the schools too. 🥰

Two different themes at group last night with the Y5&6 group exploring creation. There was good discussion around whether God created or made the world & fab crafts. The Yr 7+ group focused on mental health awareness week with games & a race to find a verse in the Bible.

Both of our groups enjoyed the #PlatinumJubilee celebrations St John's Farnworth this evening. It was lovely to sing #OurQueen together around the piano, thanks to Places Project Alison for playing for us. Worship For Everyone #PlatinumJubilee

Wow! What an AMAZING morning St John's Farnworth with Year 6 from 5 of our schools. We loved worshipping with you and remembering God's promise that we can be strong and courageous because He is with us wherever we go. More photos to come later...

Big shout out to all the amazing people who were part of the Year 6 Celebration Worship this morning including Fr Stephen & Revd Simon who escaped the photo! What a fabulous church team, we love serving God alongside you. 🥰🙌St John's Farnworth

Emma asked Alison to do a courageous trust fall as part of the Y6 worship. It doesn't look as dramatic as it felt! But don't try this at home. Alison says a massive thank you to the lovely Y6 who cheered her on! Now it's your turn to be courageous as you start high school. 💪😍
