Ladies' Circle
Ladies’ Circle
Our banner declares we are “Ladies’ Circle/Working Party”
As a group of 20 retired ladies who are dedicated to St Silas’s Church, we look back on many happy years of organising summer and Christmas fayres, Persian markets, jumble sales and themed nights, thereby raising thousands of pounds for Church. Now we enjoy a more leisurely life, listening to speakers and going out for lunches, with just small fund-raising events - nevertheless still managing to raise some money for Church and charities as well as looking after one another and visiting members in homes.
We are constantly seeking new members, so please contact me – Ruth Loft, secretary, 01254 262324 or email ruth.loft@btinternet.com. We meet in Church in the summer and at Larmenier Retirement Village in the winter.
St Silas Choir
St Silas is proud to have the only church choir in Blackburn at present. We rehearse twice a month for the morning Eucharist services, at which we sing a wide range of hymns, traditional and modern, worship songs, and anthems from our repertoire, when numbers permit. Members of the choir also help and support the various concert events in the church.
The choir members are very friendly and welcoming, and we are always on the lookout for new members: no previous experience necessary! So if you feel able to come and join us, please contact David Brindle, via our email. We will be delighted to hear from you.
