Canon Precentor As the process for appointing a new Canon Precentor continues, we ask for your prayers for guidance and discernment. Father, you have promised to guide us when we are truly humble and dependent upon you. You have promised to give wisdom generously to those who feel their lack of it. We come to you as your children asking for a Father’s wise prompting as we discern the person to appoint as Residentiary Canon. Lead us in the right path, so that the life of the Cathedral may bring glory and honour to you. Through Jesus Christ our Lord: Amen

7 MISSION Leading Your Church into Growth Local Just like children, plants and wisdom, churches are meant to grow (1 Corinthians 3.6). Right from Jesus' parable of the growing seeds, the purpose of the church has been to reach out to other people and to grow. Growth is hard-wired into the DNA of the church - it's what we're supposed to be doing. Yet for many of us, growing our churches is easier said than done. Welcome to Leading Your Church into Growth Local (LYCiG Local) course … designed to stimulate, teach, equip and motivate thousands of church members to play their part in leading their church into growth. This is a course where the local church: • learns key biblical teachings on growth • discusses, asks questions and applies these teachings to their own situation • becomes inspired and motivated • makes decisions, implements plans and discovers new ways of working • sticks with these plans, reviewing and adapting them as they go along. We will be starting this course in the autumn. If you are serious about mission and listening for God's voice to guide what we do then we really need you to attend this course. This is so important that each session will be repeated. Dates for your diary - all Tuesdays 27th October either 2pm or 7.30pm 17th November either 2pm or 7.30pm 15th December either 2pm or 7.30pm For further details please contact Canon Mandy or members of the Community Committee.
