The Bishop of Blackburn, Rt Rev Philip North will join many other locals abseiling down St Laurence’s church tower in Chorley, on March 9 as part of the church ‘Raise the Roof’ fundraising campaign.
The Bishop, pictured here doing an abseil a few years ago at another church, was interviewed by Graham Liver on Radio Lancashire recently about the Chorley event, during which he described taking part as a ‘bonkers’ thing to do!
But that didn't stop Graham himself pledging to support the event by taking part as well!
Listen here to that interview and help the fundraising for St Laurence's by visiting the JustGiving page here.
Even a small donation will make a huge difference.
Please also pray for all those taking part!
Ronnie Semley, March 2024
