Events
Mothering Sunday – 30th March
Although it’s a fifth Sunday, each parish is holding it’s own service for Mothering Sunday. For details of your parish’s service, please see our services page.
Lent
Lent continues until Easter. A reminder that each week, we are publishing Lent reflections on our website here and that we also have a Pilgrimage at Home resource for use. We hope these will be of use to you as you draw nearer to God in this Lent season.
Holy Week across the Lordsbridge Team
Details of services and events taking place across the Team this Holy Week (13th – 20th April) are available on our website.
Lordsbridge Team Pilgrimage – Save the Date!
The Lordsbridge Team Pilgrimage will be taking place on Friday 13th June. Do put this in your diaries, and plan to join us if you can, even if it is just for part of the journey. Everyone is welcome! More details to follow.
News
Team Rector Recruitment
Unfortunately we were unable to make an appointment at the recent interview discernment day. The recruitment process is therefore ongoing. Please continue to pray for this process, the Team and the vacant parishes.
Praying for Growth
Some of our Team attended the recent ‘Leading your Church into Growth’ conference led by the Diocese. One of the first things that the conference encouraged is for us to be praying for growth – in numbers, discipleship and service – in our churches. As such, we would love you to join with us in regularly praying the prayer below for your parish, as we trust in God to grow our church communities.
God of Mission
Who alone brings growth to your Church
Send your Holy Spirit to give
Vision to our planning,
Wisdom to our actions,
Joy to our worship,
And power to our witness
Help our church to grow in numbers,
In spiritual commitment to you,
And service to our local community
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
