Rediscovering the Ministry of Blessing

3/10/2022

After two years of pandemic and lost opportunities to get away, we would love to celebrate being able to be together. So, we invite you to come with us as we join with others at Lee Abbey on the North Devon coast.

This is an opportunity to come away together to discover the power and purpose of Blessing as taught in the Bible.

We will learn about its transformational impact when it comes to us personally needing to receive the Father’s blessing, the healing of the land and the healing of wounded churches. Blessing is also an important element of our prayer life and has particular relevance when we want to touch those in our families who we think are beyond our reach. To find out more and to book, please click on the 'Booking Form' button below.

Sad and exciting news all-in-one. Having worked so whole-heartedly with us, during the three years of her Curacy, and completed the official part of her training, Fran is taking the next steps in a new context, with new opportunities to further develop and grow. She’ll be undertaking a year’s placement with Grace Church, Bath (on Lower Weston Road), Emmanuel Church, Apsley Road and St Nicholas Church in Kelston. Please pray for Fran and Adrian at this time as they go with our love and blessing.

Fran’s last Sunday with us will be on the 26th June, so please come along, give thanks, encourage her as we also celebrate with food after the service!

We would love to bless Fran as she heads on to pastures new with a generous gift. So, if you would like to make a donation to Fran’s leaving gift, please either put the gift in an envelope marked for Nicola’s attention, or transfer the money into the church account and mark as ‘Fran gift’.
