We welcomed Bishop John as President at both our Eucharists this morning. During the services he commissioned us for Local Ministry. This followed a great deal of prayer, thought and preparation, and marked the beginning of a new phase in the life of our parish.
|
This morning we renewed that commitment individually and as a congregation and pledged our support for those we have chosen to train in the Local Ministry Scheme. We were here with our Bishop to re-affirm our Christian discipleship, to undertake to work together in God's kingdom, to encourage and to pray for one another in our community.

We
believe in the importance of lay and ordained people working together as a
sign of ministry to which the whole people of God is called through
baptism.
