A number of Christian groups have joined together to promote a week of prayer from 6th to 14th September. We shall meet under the banner of "Gather-Remember-Return" Here in Studland we shall have an hour of prayer on Mon 8th September from 18: 00 to 19:00. We shall use liturgy from the Northumbrian Community interspersed with muis and times of quiet. This is a call from Christian denominations across the UK top pray for revival both within our churches and in the UK at large. All are welcome
After a year of ministry in the Studland and Swanage team, our curate moves on to the next phase by being priested at a joyful service in Salisbury Cathedral. Bishop Stephen presided along with Bishop Karen and Bishop Andrew.The Church of England ordains new ministers in two steps, first to the role of Deacon and then after a year of work and study and practical experience to the role of priest. Natalie has already brought so much to our ministry here in Studland, pioneering a revised Morning Prayer service and taking part in many others. Now she will be able to explore her sacramental ministry by presiding at the Eucharist, pronouncing absolution and blessing.We are looking forward to welcoming her back at Studland as she helps out with our Pet Service on August 31st!
