Welcome
A very warm welcome to you from St Peter's Church Darwen, an Anglican Church in the Diocese of Blackburn. We hope you find these pages useful. If you are a visitor we hope that they will show you something of what it means for us to be Christians in the 21st century.
This page contains a few items that we want to bring to your attention. But there is a lot more on the site. Please use the left menu to find other current information.

Read This: A new article
There is an article under Projects that illustrates with pictures the efforts of the Projects Group and the work and expense of fixing the roof: The Roof, the Projects Group and the Money
Darwen Food Larder
The need for emergency food supplies locally has increased recently and the Food Larder, run by Blackburn with Darwen Churches Action, is trying to respond to that need. Please try to repond also. The box for contributions is in the Parish Centre under the noticeboard. You can see their page here: Furniture and Food
Our Saints
Who are the Saints that our churches are named after? You can find out all about them on Wikipedia, here: Saint Peter Saint Paul
Ring Any Bells?
St. Peter's is the only church in Darwen with a fully functioning set of bells. There are currently six regular Sunday morning ringers to ring the six bells, but we are looking for new people to come and learn how to ring. People can be of any age but must be quite physically fit.
We practise every Tuesday night, from 6.45pm until 8.00pm and ring every Sunday morning from 10.00am until 10:30am at St. Peter's. We are members of the Lancashire Association of Change Ringers (LACR) and attend branch meetings once a month, which are held at churches across the county.
If you are interested in learning how to ring, or you would first like to come up to find out what it's like to ring, please contact Esther Shaw, the Tower Captain.
