Our Faith and Formation team is currently in a period of transition and renewal. In the early months of the year, we farewelled some valued long-term members who have moved into other leadership roles, while others have been called to serve in different parts of the country for extended periods. Even so, the mission of the Parish continues with hope and commitment.

Alpha

Late last year, an Alpha steering team was formed to oversee the development of this important tool for evangelisation in our Parish. In the coming season, we hope to reach those who have not participated before or who may not yet feel fully connected to the Parish community. We encourage you to reflect on who in your life might be open and asking questions. The course begins on Saturday 18 July. Registrations are limited, so if you have been meaning to invite someone, now is the time. Register HERE

Connect Group Monthly Formation – Unlocking the Bible

Following the enthusiastic response to the Navigating the Bible workshops hosted by Fr Josh and Beth Davies, we have decided to offer a similar evening on a monthly basis. These workshops aim to deepen our understanding of Scripture and to equip us to read, reflect on, and draw life from the Word of God. The evenings are designed for those already involved in Connect Groups, as well as anyone who desires to read and reflect on Scripture but is unsure where to begin. Our next gathering will be held on 28 May at 4pm in the Church.

Harness the Power of Prayer

At present, a group of parishioners is participating in a new pilot program that we hope to offer more broadly across the Parish in the future. This initiative explores a deepening of prayer and mission through greater openness to the Holy Spirit. Watch this space — all going well, we hope to make this available more widely.

As we continue this season of renewal, we thank all those who serve so generously in the life of our Parish and ask for your continued prayers for the mission ahead.
