The crisp meeting will begin at the end of the Eucharist, and will be followed at once by the briefest of Chaplaincy Council meetings simply to elect Officers. This will be followed by a brief AGM for the Charity Association (every Electoral Roll member is also a Charity Association member) After the Meeting Marathon(!) we move to the Hall for a Bring and Share lunch. We now have only two candidates for the Office of Warden so there will not be an election. When an election looked likely Fr Chris asked each candidate to prepare an Election Statement with this 'brief' - Please would you share your thoughts with the congregation about (1) how you see the current priorities in the life of the Chaplaincy, and (2) what you would see as your personal priorities as Warden in relation to your answer to (1). Michaela supplied hers, and it is attached to the Friday Focus email.Together on Tuesday Starting this week, we offer 'Together on Tuesday', a pulling together of our regular Tuesday ministries by beginning with an Act of Worship, normally led by Fr Chris. Here's how we hope it will work...if you would like to join us for worship, log in for 19.30 for a 25 mins Act of Worship - usually based on the previous Sunday service, but could be linked to that day's saint, or another theme, and will include opportunity for open prayer. At the end of that service you can log out and carry on with your evening, or you can stay for the meeting.If you just want to come to the meeting simply log in as normal prior to the 20.00 start: 'Something More' will be on the same link (so you may catch the tail end of the service), Bible Study will be on a different link, simply leave one and join the other.The Act of Worship will be ideal for....members who can't get to Sunday services in person, or missed church the previous Sunday....those who want a midweek pause to worship together...those who want to join in prayer, or to ask for prayer for themselves or others.NB We will need to stick strictly to the timings to make this work smoothly! Something More House Group: This week we have the first (of probably two) sessions on 'The Conversion of England'. This first session will look at Christianity in Roman England: how did Christianity arrive, and where did it establish? Inevitably there will be a bit of archaeology!June Magazine: Please get your contributions to the editor early this week.Please continue to pray for our ChaplaincyLord Jesus Christ,thank you for calling us to be a Church under the banner of your Name:may we look to you today and find clear vision for tomorrow. May our life together bring you glory, as you make of us a living invitation to enter the joy of your Kingdom. Amen
