Churches ready to welcome Barrow back for Christmas services

Easter eggs handed out to Barrow families by Salvation Army

BARROW’S Salvation Army spread joy this Easter by giving chocolate goodies to families in the area. Donations from customers of Morrison’s and a delivery of eggs from Siemens Offshore meant that the organisation was able to deliver more than 200 Easter eggs along with a Christian Easter magazine and a support leaflet to families over the weekend. Barrow Salvation Army officer Jonny Whitmore said: “We shared over 200 Easter Eggs within a mile radius of the Salvation Army. They were some of the families who were referred to us for support at Christmas time. “We wanted to connect with those families and say that we recognised that it continues to be a tough time for many families but there are still people available for them to talk with.

Barrow church services will still be special this Christmas despite Covid restrictions

For many Barrow residents, Christmas isn’t Christmas without a visit to church. But this year, new Covid guidance means that celebrating Christmas will have to be a little different this year. Martin Cooper, minister at Abbey Road Baptist Church, said: “Often it’s coming to church that brings a sense of familiarity and tradition to Christmas, whether that’s a nativity play, a Christingle, or candlelit carols. Sadly, this year we’ve can’t just do what we’ve always done, but it’s given us the opportunity to think creatively.” Churches are permitted to open for services, however communal singing or mixing with those outside of household bubbles is not.
