Saturday 18 March 2023 - 10am to 12:30pm
Please join us for our second Church Vision Morning. This time it will be held from 10am to 12:30pm in Pulloxhill Church Hall.
In preparation for the Vision Morning Rev Simon and Rev Louise have asked us to think about (both for the Benefice and our individual churches):
1. What is good to celebrate in the last few years?
2. What should be our priorities?
3. What do we need to do in the future (be as specific as you can)?
4. If you could travel 10 years into the future, what would you like the churches to be doing and to be like?
If you can’t make the morning but would like to give Rev Simon and Rev Louise your responses please email RevSimon@3churches.uk or RevLouise@3churches.uk or drop a note through The Vicarage door.
