Weekly Midweek Communion with Rev’d John Mountain Wednesdays at 10.30 am
Christ Church Parbold’s mid-week 10.30 service on a Wednesday is held at the Parbold W.I. Hall, rather than in Christ Church.
The WI Hall address is 2 Station Rd, Parbold, Wigan WN8 7NU and it is the hall on the same side of the road as the shops in Parbold.
Crafty People
This group meets every Thursday from 2.15 pm onwards – see our crafty people page for more details.
It’s for people who want to bring any sort of handicraft to work on. Mutual help is encouraged. A light-hearted, sociable “crafternoon” is enjoyed by those who attend.
