The very first River of Light took place, with staff, parents and children from Farnworth school and parishioners walking from school to church. Poppy, a pupil at Farnworth School said ‘We walked the route shining torches and lanterns and colourful lights. This was followed by a service in church to thank those who help us in our local community and also to pray for those in need. I loved the River of Light as it was a lovely time to appreciate our community and spend a closer time with God by praying together’. |
