When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in
the eyes that are blind to beauty.
Kahlil Gibran
Watch your thoughts, they become your words.
Watch you words,
they become your actions.
Watch your actions,
they become your habits.
Watch your habits,
they become your character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

OUR CONGREGATION (Photo by Nigel Mellors)
Here is the most recent picture of those of us who were at the morning service on 13th November 2011. There are about 80 of us in total but most Sundays there are 40 to 50 of us at the service.
Click here or on the picture for a higher resolution copy.
We have a large number of pictures
depicting people, places
and events over recent years.
Our Church has its origins in the late 17th century, its first chapel being built in 1719. The current building of 1974 is the congregation's fourth in the town. We are the oldest nonconformist congregation in Bury.
