Looking ahead – the Church tomorrowWe all recognise the changing culture of our churches but what will the Church look like in this area in 5 – 10 years’ time?None of us know what talents will emerge over these years – we are constantly surprised by the activity of the Holy Spirit, and yet we do know things don’t stay the same, and that good foundations help anything new to flourish.Please come and join us on Saturday 5 April at 10:00am at Holland House to talk, to pray, to note the signs of where we see the Holy Spirit active today and to ask, “What is this telling us?”.The morning will conclude by 12.30pm. It would help Holland House to know how much cake to bake if you could let me know in advance if you are coming, but don’t worry if you don’t – still come!SarahEmail: revsarahdangerfield@outlook.com Benefice Administrator - VacancyFor a role description please email: fmwcc01@gmail.comTo apply please send your CV and covering letter to Sarah Dangerfield revsarahdangerfield@outlook.com stating how your knowledge, skills and experience match our requirements laid out in the person specification.Closing date for CV and letter is 7 April 2025.
