Over the summer, churches across the diocese have been getting away together, holding fairs, hosting BBQs, and serving their local communities in a huge number of ways.
During the last few months our Bishops have been busy baptising and confirming candidates the diocese wide. In June and July, many of our worshipping communities welcomed and witnessed members of their church families taking the next step on their faith journeys.
Last Autumn, three families felt a shared sense of calling to become part of the weekly worshipping community at The Good Shepherd.
Up and down the diocese our worshipping communities are running holiday play schemes, cafés, craft events and camps, making vital connections between church and children and offering loving service to the community.
