We have all been invited to this moving service at the beginning of the year to renew our Christian commitment.
To encourage people to attend, there will be no morning services at Holy Trinity or Holy Saviour that day.
The 9.30 am service at All Saints will be slightly shorter than usual to allow those who would like to go, to get there in time.
Please try to support this if you can as we share in worship with our sisters and brothers at Westbury Methodist church on Station Road.

Join us for a service of Holy Communion

We shall have a special time of prayer specifically for the Team Vicar vacancy.
All welcome from across the Team.

There will be no Reflective Service at All Saints in January.

Please use the Vacancy prayer in your prayers at home and in our services:

Gracious God, you are with us always.
We thank you for guiding us by your Spirit through our life together as church.
We thank you for the ministry of Caroline, and pray your blessing on her.
We pray that we may hear your voice in this time of vacancy;
give us patience, vision and courage as we seek a new priest and as we seek to make Jesus known in our communities, So that all may flourish and grow, seeking God’s kingdom in the here and now.

In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

White Horse Team Ministry Focus meeting Saturday 18 January 2025 10.00 am – 2.30 pm

All are invited to this half day session at the Westbury Leigh Community Hall, Westbury Leigh BA13 3SQ.

This is an opportunity for us to gather together from across our different parishes in Westbury and Dilton Marsh, to review where we are at as a Team and renew our relationships as we consider: what is going well? Where do we believe God is calling us to in the future? What is our vision for the future of our parishes? How may our mission and ministry grow? What are the challenges and opportunities for the future?

We shall have some worship, prayer, and some round-table discussions. I have invited our LLM, Ashley Jones, to give a short presentation about Pioneer ministry, which he has studied. All of this will help us to formulate a vision for the appointment of our next Team Vicar. We would like to gather as much material together as possible as a small group of us will be meeting to put together the profile for this role.

Light lunch will be provided. We shall be collecting names of those who are intending to come, so we have an idea of numbers. Please sign up in one of our churches in early January.

I do hope that as many people from across our parishes will attend. We would like to hear as many views as possible.

We would welcome some help with getting the hall ready and clearing up after our meeting and we have the hall booked from 9.00 am to 3.00 pm.

Please be in touch if you are able to help in any way. Please pray for this event and consider how you can support it.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Please use the Vacancy prayer in your prayers at home and in our services:
