If you would be interested in going on a retreat with other St Matt’s people over two days, either for the first time or as part of your regular spiritual journey, then please speak to Joyce Caithness or Mat Ineson.
Venue, silent or otherwise to be decided dependant on interest, we’re
thinking of October/November this year
We are very thankful to God for those who give their time to work with our children and young people. As part of our commitment to pray for them in this important role we will be commissioning all of them on Sunday 12th September during the morning service.
We are delighted to welcome new Trinity Students to the Context Based Training Cohort that we host in partnership with Woodlands Church. St Matthew’s and Woodlands provide a context in which the students can explore and apply the theology that they learn through the college. As part of this they will be involved in some of the church activities including the Dove Street drop in, Messy Church and some services.
Do pray for them and make them and their families welcome. We will be commissioning them on the 5th September.
As we begin September there are a number of staff changes to report. As you know Ali Berry has stepped down as Youth Minister, we pray that God will continue to bless her and thank God for all that she has done with the young people.
I am pleased to say that Rachel Clarke has agreed to be the new part-time youth Minister alongside her part time role in the Media Centre at Knowle West. She begins on 1st September. Do pray for her.
I am also delighted that Emma Ineson is more fully joining the staff team for two days a week plus Sundays. Her main responsibility will be for teaching and preaching. Emma is reducing her hours at Trinity College in order to make time for this role. Do pray for her as she makes this change.
The new priest-in-charge appointed to St Mary’s, Cotham and St Paul’s, Clifton is to be Revd Richard Holroyd, currently Vicar of St Luke’s, Maidenhead.
This was announced at the the parishes concerned during services today.
