Our call to Mission and Developing Vision
Over the previous year the church councils for both St James and St Edmund’s have been discussing our call to mission and our developing vision for the future of our churches and have set up ‘vision teams’ to steer this process. Naturally we needed all members of our congregations to be involved in this vision process and so we thought that it would be helpful to dedicate a period of time in 2015 when all our congregations were encouraged to think, share and pray on these themes.
For this reason our Sunday services and teaching after Easter and up until the end of July will focus on mission and developing vision.
Re-Grouping for Growth
When the team of preachers last met we talked through how all this might work and more generally how we might support one another in our Christian growth into the future. So, we would like to encourage people to meet together in small groups, if they don’t already do so, to discuss the Sunday themes and pray together.
These groups and other opportunities to explore and share thoughts on mission and vision will be organised over the next few weeks. Tony will give a presentation on this on Sundays
