Premiering on YouTube this Sunday, Rt Rev Julian Henderson, the Bishop of Blackburn, will deliver the sermon as part of a special online multilingual Easter Day Service for the whole of Lancashire.
The service will be available here on the Diocesan YouTube channel from 8am on April 17.
A special edition of our regular monthly multilingual service, it will be led by Rev Sarah Gill who is Vicar of St Stephen’s with St James’, Blackburn and the Bishop’s Adviser on UKME issues.
It will also feature contributions – including some in Urdu - from leaders and participants based at our M:Power training centre at St James’, Lower Darwen.
M:Power offers training for lay, ordained and ordinands in and for an urban communities.
- Make sure you tune in to watch on Sunday and if you also want to attend a church in person on Sunday you can find the nearest one to where you live by visiting The Church of England's 'A Church Near You' website and putting in the details of where you live.
- Meanwhile, Bishop Julian has also issued his Easter message to the people of Lancashire in written and video form. Click here for that.
