We are asking God to guide us on our journey in developing our Benefice.
Please pray for:
our benefice, our individual churches, PCCs and the Team Council.
that God shares with us the journey he has mapped out for our Benefice.
that He shows us the way forward in identifying what we need from a new priest.
that God continues to heal the hurt we feel from the past.
that God helps to build a vision of a One Church Family across our many Parishes.

Bishop Matthew will be holding a Confirmation Service at All Saints’ Church, Sandon on Sunday 8th June. Confirmation is a special church service in which a person confirms the promises that were made when they were baptized. We already have two candidates but would love to have more. If any adults or children/young people 10 years of age or above would like to be confirmed or if you want to find out more about what is involved, please contact Rev’d Vivienne Starkie or the Churchwarden for your Parish.
Don’t worry if you are not yet baptised; we can arrange that too. We look forward to hearing from you.

OUR NEXT SERVICE IS:
11th May Praise Together Holy Communion at 10-00am. led by Rev'd Vivienne Starkie and Andy Cooper, St. John the Baptist Church, Stowe by Chartley.

We try to make our church services as friendly as possible. Please don’t worry about getting things ‘wrong’. Even if they notice, people won’t mind. At Communion services, everyone is equally welcome, whether you feel able to share the bread and wine or prefer just to stay seated for a time of quiet. Finally, we are interested in you, not what you are wearing - but note that in the winter it can be difficult to heat our church so you may need to wrap up warm!
