Induction of Rev’d Noma Marambi as a Missional Partnership Minister

We are delighted to say that Noma’s induction was a great occasion for celebration when the Rev’d Clare Downing, NW Synod Moderator, inducted her to serve the Lancashire East Missional Partnership Churches (LEMP) as a Minister of Word and Sacrament.  This great occasion was held at Westbury Gardens when the church was full for this special occasion.  The service was also available on Zoom for others who were not able to attend in person.  Music was provided by the Eric Haworth Trio (Eric, Ian and Neil - members at North Blackburn) and was very much appreciated.

The Rev’d Mike Aspinall, on behalf of the LEMP churches, presented Noma with a Bible of her choice as a gift from us all.  We send our congratulations love and best wishes to Noma and her family and are looking forward to working with her as we go forward in our mission in East Lancashire together.

This special occasion was rounded off by us all enjoying afternoon tea and a time of fellowship together, meeting friends and others as we celebrated and gave thanks for Noma becoming our Minister.
