The Diocese has set up some workshops on this topic which Mike Sargent and I will be attending on behalf of St Mary's. To prepare, we need to ask the congregation of St Mary's to fill in a short questionnaire if they have just a little time, some patience and a computer! Please consider having a look at this and answering the questions. You do not need to agonise too much about the answers. Thank you, Tom WicksonThis is the link to the Cornerstone Questionnaire: https://forms.office.com/e/TmUcSFBtKk. You can cut and paste this into your web browser to access it. This will give insight into your church's approach to generosity in all its forms. It does not ask anyone to give money! Where it asks you to put in a CODE, please use your A Church Near You Code for St Mary’s Gillingham: 634171 .If you would like to fill in the questionnaire, please do so by Tuesday 7 October
Being confirmed means making for yourself the declarations of faith that your parents and godparents made on your behalf when you were christene / baptised. There will be a Deanery Confirmation Service on Saturday 18 October at 5pm, the Bishop of Sherborne officiating. If you would like to be included in this service - or even just talk it over - please get in touch with Canon Tim: <a href="mailto:tim4heaton@yahoo.co.uk">tim4heaton@yahoo.co.uk</a>
