Burns Night Ceilidh
Tickets are still available for the Burns Night ceilidh upstairs in the Pyramid Room on Saturday 25th January from 7:00-10:00pm. Join us for live music from Tanglefeet Ceilidh Band, a traditional Scottish supper and, of course, dancing! Doors will open at 7pm and the first dance will be at 7:30. For more information and a link to buy tickets follow the RSVP link in the event calendar above or check out the band's Facebook event.
We would like to thank the band and event organisers for splitting their profits between 3 local charities, including The Unity Fridge here at the church. It should be a really fun night and all in aid of some good causes!
Community Connections Café
The Community Connections Café is a new initiative launched in October of this year. Its aim is to bridge cultural barriers by introducing people to the food and art of different countries. The Café runs on the last Thursday of every month in the Pyramid Room upstairs, and each session consists of the teaching of a recipe (or two!) followed by a beginner-friendly guided art project. All attendees participate in the cookery and art and get to share the meal we make. The Café is free to attend and you do not need to book on, just turn up on the day. After the Café has run for an initial six months we will host an exhibition of all the art people have produced across all sessions.
This initiative is part funded by a grant from Burnley Pendle and Rossendale Council for Voluntary Service.
The next Café will take place on Monday 27th January 2025 11:30am-3:00pm. The theme for this month's session is Thailand, and we will be joined by Ann from Rak Thai takeaway in Blackburn who will demonstrate how to cook authentic Thai food and craft decorative banners. Please note the change from our usual Thursday - this is a one off time change, the next months will be back to normal.
Councillors' Surgeries
The church hosts a local councillors' surgery on the first Saturday of every month, downstairs in the Main Hall. From 10:00-11:00am, Labour Councillors representing the wards of Hareholme and Waterfoot and Longholme will be at the church to answer questions and give support and advice. You do not need to book, just come along on the day. The next surgery will be on Saturday 11th January; the schedule for the next few months is as follows:
-
Saturday 1st February
-
Saturday 1st March
-
Saturday 5th April
-
Saturday 3rd May
Film Nights
Film Nights
We run a free film night upstairs in the Pyramid Room on the last Friday of every month from 7pm. Snacks and refreshments are provided and you do not need to book in advance to attend - just show up on the day. Donations to help with our running costs are greatly appreciated, but are not at all compulsory. We try to show a wide variety of films from all over the world, both classics and contemporary releases, but always with a theme we feel relevant to our religion and ethos of equality for all, or relevant to contemporary social issues. Though the films we show often cover serious topics, our film nights are always laid back and we encourage anyone to attend - our main aim is to bring people together for an inexpensive evening all can enjoy.
For our next film night, we'll be showing Joy (2024, BBFC 12A certificate) on Friday 31st January from 7pm. See the poster below!
Jiu-Jitsu Classes
We host multiple weekly kids' Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes delivered by Steve from Strategy Fight Team Rossendale. Classes for under 15s run every Wednesday and Thursday 5:45-6:45pm. A 4-6 year olds class will resume from 10th January 2025 and take place every Friday 5:15-6:00pm. Beginners and new attendees are absolutely welcome, and the first class is free to try. From then on it's £5 per session. Message Strategy Fight Team on Facebook and look through their profile for more information.
Lancashire Adult Learning
Digital Classes
Lancashire Adult Learning (LAL) are holding a free weekly digital skills class at the church throughout term time until the end of June 2025. It is a beginner-friendly course, tailored to your specific needs and the types of device you use.
