A series of roadshows will be coming to a deanery near you soon.
Diocesan Secretary, Iain Blythe said;
"I hope you will be able to join us for this year’s diocesan roadshows taking place during September and October. Each roadshow will be specific to your local context as we look to encourage discussion around life in your individual settings. I hope you will bring some of the stories showing the amazing work going on across our diocese and share them with us. This year’s events will enable us to introduce the staff team and I know we are looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible."
The theme of this year's roadshow is 'revitalisation' to fit in with our of 'Every parish, benefice and deanery showing signs of revitalisation' by 2030.
Anyone is welcome to attend but these will be particularly relevant for;
- clergy
- school leaders
- parish officers
- deanery officers
- lay ministers
All of the events run from 19:00-21:00 with refreshments available beforehand. There is no need to book. We look forward to seeing you there.
