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.

A Place of Welcome each Friday, between 10.00am and 12noon.
Please come along for tea or coffee and a good old chat!

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!

If you are looking for a very relaxed, easy entry into Church life, please come along to our Sunday Breakfast service. There will be breakfast available from 9-30am followed by a short service with hymns. You will be made very welcome and guess what - it’s free!
Due to holidays for everybody, there will be no Breakfast Service in August. We only have one service on 24th August at 10-00am when we will be joined by congregations from other churches in the Mid-Trent Team. Please join us.

SEEKING GOD’S WILL FOR THE MID-TRENT BENEFICE

The Mid-Trent Team Council invites you to join us and our P.C.C. members from across the team for an away day. We have not yet attracted applicants to fill our Rector’s post, but we are confident that there are exciting times ahead for us if we can work together as a church community, and with local people, to set a vision for the future of our churches.

Whether you are already a member of one of our congregations, or a local resident who might want to join us, do come along and share your ideas for the future of worship and community service in Mid-Trent.

We already have a reputation for a warm welcome, but perhaps we could deliver different events or forms of worship in some of our churches to reach out to more people. If you want to know more about us, or have ideas, please come along.

Drinks will be provided, but please bring your own lunch.

To book a place, or if you cannot attend but have views to share, please get in touch with Shirley Hayes, our Secretary, by email at: [email protected]
