On the 19th June, the Right Reverend Richard Blackburn, Bishop of Warrington, officially re-opened St. Martin’s Church after the refurbishment. He unveiled an inscription commemorating the occasion, and prayed for the building and all those who use it, which was then followed up by a performance of Park Brow Primary School’s choir – which was the real highlight of the day.
Over 250 people attended the day, which included a family fun afternoon with arts, crafts and face-painting. All ages from the community attended to see just how the church looks inside after the refurbishment, and we received a very enthusiastic response for all that we have done this year.
Thanks to Sam Stratford for the official photography.
