Appointing a New Incumbent This is now advertised in the Church Times again. See the separate Parish Profile page The Parish Profile (provisional version) can be downloaded and read here Please pray for both churches as we join together and seek to appoint a new incumbent.
Holy Communion early Sunday morning restarting Beginning on March 6th, and for an experimental period of six months, we will be reinstating the 8.30am Holy Communion service on the first Sunday of the month. Towards the end of this initial period the PCC will review this provision, and decide if a full reinstatement ought to be considered.
We desire to be a vibrant and inclusive Christian community, inspired by God, to worship and reach out to nurture, heal and serve. Worship: to make our lives ones of worship, both corporately and individually. Reach Out: to reach out. Archbishop Justin said, ‘The church is not a rest home for the saints but a lifeboat for the world’ Nurture: to accept where people, the community and our world are at present, and to encourage growth and development in a loving and supportive way. Heal: to heal the damage done to our environment, to heal difficult relationships, to pray for physical, emotional and mental healing, to heal struggling relationships with God. Serve: to serve by both practical action and prayer. Serving not only what God has given us (the world and all it contains) but also God himself; by proclaiming His word, making new disciples and loving one another as He loves us
Our Values
We believe that all should be welcome, encouraged and supported. We believe that faith should be developed within the Church and shared in our wider community. We believe that we should show tolerance, understanding and compassionate support to each other We believe that we should work as a team, supporting each other so that we can better serve others. We believe in a God-centred life based on the precepts of the Bible and upheld by prayer. We believe that worship should be God-centred, accessible, joyful, stimulating and relevant.
