8th October, Benefice Day - Considering our Committees
Our PCCs are in agreement that it would be healthy to look at our meeting structures - do we need 5 PCCs, and 4 Benefice Committees, along with the various sub committees and working groups? Can we save time and energy, and be released in other areas of ministry by combining certain functions? What are the options available to us - legally and practically? How do we shape ourselves for growth in the coming years? These are all big questions, and our Archdeacon, Beverley Mason, and the Diocesan Mission and Pastoral Secretary Judith Calvert will be joining us for a Benefice Day to explore them... all very welcome, and encouraged to be present. Join us at Warsill Parish Hall on 8th October for a bring-and-share lunch from 12.30pm, with discussions starting from 1.30pm.
Benefice 'Lectures'
We are excited to announce a new opportunity for Christian growth and discipleship in our Benefice. From September we are developing a series of lectures/talks/presentations on various faith-related topics. The plan is to have one every other month, on the third Sunday, in Ripley Church. Talks will begin at 12 noon, giving people an opportunity to gather from wherever they have worshipped (or not!) that morning, and will last for approximately 40 minutes, ending in a bring and share style lunch to give people an opportunity to chew over together what they have just heard. On November 20th we will be welcoming Christian singer/song writer Chris Milner. More information to follow.
