At the beginning of July, many of those who will be ordained as Deacons in September, gathered at Bishopscourt and were licensed by Bishop Guli as Lay Workers for the period until their ordination.

This year's ordination of Deacons will take place at Chelmsford Cathedral during two services on Sunday 10th September:
• Bradwell and Barking Area Candidates at 1pm
• Colchester Candidates at 3.30pm
