Sunday 18th January will be our Altogether Sunday: a chance for the Benefice to come together – three churches, two parishes, one family – to do some housekeeping. We will think about the situation over the whole Benefice in terms of the future, our finances, our mission and our vision. Please do set aside the time to join us. We will meet at The Wilshere Hall, St Andrew's Church, Stantead Abbots.

The programme is as follows:

10.00am Coffee & tea – The Wilshere Hall
10.30am Benefice Meeting (Mission • Opportunities • Next Steps • Finances)
12.00pm Service of the Word with Communion**
1.00pm Shared lunch – The Wilshere Hall

Baked potatoes will be prepared for everyone, but we kindly ask that you bring a savoury or sweet dish to share for lunch. To help us prepare the space and organise catering, please could you let us know: 1. whether you are planning to come on the day; and 2. whether you will be staying for lunch (so that we have numbers for baked potatoes). **Please note that this will be the only service running on this day.
