A Blackburn church was the venue for a warm event for families in the run up to Christmas.
The Christ Apostolic Church Mount Zion International is based on the corner of Johnston Street and Addison Close, was formerly the St Barnabas Church.
It is run by Pastor Michael Ajibola and his wife Mabel who took over the building 12 years ago.
Local residents were invited to the ‘Celebrate Event of Songs in Winter’ from noon.
Food was served to everyone who attended and the event was being run in conjunction with the Cadent Centre for Warmth project managed by Bangor Street Community Centre.
People on the day were able to find out carbon monoxide safety and energy saving.
Pastor Michael said: “The Christmas Carol dinner was indeed a heartfelt event of songs, which the guests' presence and participation helped to make it a memorable and engaging experience.
“This means a lot to us. We found the event enjoyable, and people were able to connect with others in our community.
“People were able to access free carbon monoxide alarms.
“We look forward to seeing you at future events and to all who have attended the event, thank you for your enthusiastic participation, we couldn't have such a fantastic time without you. Thank you all.”
Attendees were given valuable advice about carbon monoxide safety, something most people were unaware of. Teams also spoke to the members about how to save energy.
