Sat 7th- Sun 15th June Loaves & Fishes:
Celebration of community & creation around Morecambe Bay:
Blessing on the Beach: Monday 9 June: 12 noon: Arnside Promenade
In Pentecost week Christian people celebrate the gifts of God’s Spirit, which animates
the whole of Creation, our own life and that of the creatures that share the world with
us. We want to celebrate the wonders of Morecambe Bay by encouraging every coastal
community and school around the Bay to host a Loaves and Fishes meal, open to people
of all faiths or none; sharing fish, seafood and bread in a shore-side picnic, school meal
or local church party. There are online resources to help you. Register and email details
of your event: loavesfishes2014@yahoo.co.uk. All are invited to the Blessing on the
Beach on Arnside promenade at 12 noon on Monday 19 June. Lancashire and Cumbria
Church Leaders will bless newly-caught fish and fresh bread with local schoolchildren.
Bring your own bread-and-fish picnic and enjoy the company of others against the
glorious backdrop of the Bay. You are invited to travel by foot, bike or public transport.
