A Service of Healing and Wholeness Jesus met his people at their point of need and healed them. It was central to his ministry. Healing and Wholeness are what God wants for us all, for the world, ourselves for those people and situations on our hearts. We would like to invite you to a time of prayer and healing based on the lona community service. The first midweek monthly service will be on 19th July, 7pm at Christ Church. Do feel welcome to join us.
'After meeting with Bishop Clive and Archdeacon Sue in December 2021 the PCCs of Christchurch Burntwood and St John the Baptist Hammerwich have now met and discussed the possibilities which were offered to them. The decisions reached by the PCCs of both churches were unanimous 1. Both PCCs wish for their churches to stay within the existing Burntwood Chase Team of Churches.2. Hammerwich PCC would like to ask for a deployment of 0.15. Christchurch would like to ask for a deployment in the range of 0.35 Therefore, a total deployment of 0.5 shared between the two churches seems to be a plan which may be workable. These wishes were reported a meeting of the Benefice Wardens and Clergy (which functions as a Benefice Standing Committee). The comments were warmly welcomed and the following motion was passed unanimously. 'The Wardens and Clergy Team of the Burntwood Chase Benefice, acting as the Standing Committee of the Benefice, request that Lichfield Diocese reassesses the combined ministerial deployment for Christchurch Burntwood and St John the Baptist Hammerwich and make it now 0.5 of a full-time post' The advert time is now closed, and Familiarisation is Monday 3rd OctoberChrist Church and Burntwood Chase Benefice
