Rev Mark Houston & the PCC is crowdfunding
Iʼm raising £10,000 to help StJohn the Baptist Church in Flookburgh. It needs significant funding to keep our beautiful building open and available for the parish
- Flookburgh, Grange over Sands, Cumbria
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
The church building is soon going to celebrate being in the village for 125 years. It needs major work to its roof and the electrics if it is to see future significant anniversaries. The church offers itself for the whole parish however often you come. Some people come ‘to church’ every Sunday and many others only come sometimes (a funeral, Harvest, Remembrance or Christmas). If we love our church and want it to be there we all need to help if we can. Sadly I have to add my personal bank details to the Just Giving page (they don't accept the church account) but I assure you that once the money reaches my account it will go straight to the PCC. If you'd rather pay direct to church please let me know (houstonmark15@gmail.com). Thank you

1 month agoHappy Christmas. We had a beautiful Advent season with 2 carol services, a Christingle and a 'Midnight' Communion on Christmas Eve. We have also endured some sadness in the loss of two members of our church PCC - which leaves even fewer of us to do the day to day tasks in church, never mind allowing us to focus on fundraising. There have also been a number of funerals in the village. My prayer for this church as we enter 2025 is that more people will come forward to help us give the building a future. We are now almost at 10% on this page.

2 months agoIt's a busy and expensive time for everyone during December, so we are very grateful for anything that is raised to help us get the electrical work done. Church has a range of lovely services taking place across December in the run up to the big day. We'd love to see you at one of more of those. Best wishes and a merry Christmas to you all....when it comes

3 months agoTo all you wonderful folk who have given your money in support of our cause to raise funds to modernise the electrics (lights, plug sockets etc) of the church I simply wish to say thank you. We are closing in on our first thousand which is a great achievement. Best wishes Mark
