News
Thank you!
As the APCM reports for the different parishes continue to arrive in our inboxes, they are a hugely important reminder of all the hard work that takes place in our churches across the year; to maintain them, to worship in them and to use them to share God’s love with our communities. Thank you so much to all of you who serve and volunteer in our churches in so many different capacities. We are so grateful for you and our communities are greatly blessed by you!
Team Rector Vacancy
The latest round of advertising for the Team Rector post closes on Sunday 4th May. Please pray for the right applicants to apply and for the discernment team in the next stages of the process.
Team Administrator Vacancy
Our Team Adminstrator, Becca, will be leaving us in July. As such we are advertising for a new administrator. Applications will close at noon on 9th May. Please do pass the information about the role onto your contacts. More details are available here.
Team Service – 29th June – Singers Needed!
Our next Team Service on Sunday 29th June at 10.30am at Dry Drayton Church needs you! We are putting together a Lordsbridge Choir for a Sung Holy Communion service. If you would like to sing, please contact Clare Coates to let her know your interest and which voice part you sing.
The Church in Toft
It is with great sadness that we pass on the news that Toft Methodist Church will be closing at the end of July. St Andrew’s Toft and Toft Methodist Church have been linked as a Local Ecumenical Project for many years and the closing of the Methodist Church will be a great loss to the community of Toft. Please remember them in your prayers. Services will continue to be held at St Andrew’s Church after the Methodist Church closure, and a service to celebrate the mission and ministry of Toft Methodist Church will be held at the end of July. Further details will follow.
Schools at Easter
Our churches were delighted to host several school Easter services this year. The children from Barton School visited St Peter’s Barton for their Easter service. They had created some amazing artwork on an enrichment day ranging from Jesus’ Baptism, through his Ascension to Pentecost, as you can see in the below pictures.
