Growing Disciples . Growing Disciples . Wider Younger Deeper www.growingdisciples.co.uk More than 80 nurture courses are part of the follow-up to oneLIFE mission t is over a month now since the oneLIFE mission took place in the diocese, when churches across the diocese organised hundreds of events to attract new people. The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, Iwas here to support the mission along with Bishop Paul, Bishop Tony, and visiting Bishops from other dioceses. Over four exciting days of the mission, churches shared the good news of Jesus with the people in their communities. As part of the follow-up to the mission more than 80 nurture courses are running to welcome and support people who want to explore questions of faith. There are many stories of people touched by the mission: following on from oneLIFE in the River Idle Benefice, 16 people attend an Alpha Supper in a local café; 15 of those who attended signed up on the night to continue to meet, and another joined along the way. One of the visiting evangelists hosted in Bassetlaw and Bawtry Deanery was an ex-SAS sniper, Neil Obbard. Someone who had been invited to a Men's Pie and Pint evening recognised him when he turned up because they had served together in the military. They chatted together, he listened to Neil's testimony and later signed up to do Alpha. The Woven network of churches in the north of Nottingham held a week of activities in local schools as part of oneLIFE: Bluecoat Aspley, Bluecoat Wollaton, Bluecoat Beechdale and Nottingham University Samworth Academy. During the week a group of singers, rappers, actors and sport coaches took over assemblies, classes and lunch clubs with the aim of sharing the love of Jesus. A youth event at the end of the week at St Margaret’s Aspley was attended by more than 100 young people; an event at St John’s Bilborough was attended by 400, with more waiting outside to get in.

  • Wednesday 16Th October 2019 Dear Friends, Following My Recent Announcement That the Venerable David Picken Will Be Moving on In
    Wednesday 16th October 2019 Dear Friends, Following my recent announcement that the Venerable David Picken will be moving on in mid-January 2020 to take up his new appointment as the Archdeacon of Lancaster, I can now confirm the interim arrangements which will enable a smooth transition until a new archdeacon is appointed. The Revd Canon Mark Adams, Vicar of the Beck & Trent Benefice and currently Area Dean for Southwell & Newark in the Newark Archdeaconry, has agreed to be interim Assistant Archdeacon for the Newark archdeaconry with a particular focus on providing support to Area Deans as well as in managing the appointment process with parishes in vacancy. The Venerable Phil Williams, Archdeacon of Nottingham, will support the Newark Archdeaconry in relation to any statutory archidiaconal matters that arise, though Mark will be the first point of contact. I am pleased to let you know that The Revd Andrew Porter, Vicar of Holy Trinity Church, Southwell will act as Assistant Area Dean for Newark & Southwell during this interim period. There will be a handover period for David, Mark and Andrew through December, prior to David’s last day on 16th January. Please note that there will be a Farewell Service in Southwell Minster on Wednesday 15th January, at 7.30pm, to give thanks for David’s ministry in the diocese and pray for him and Cathy as they prepare for God’s new calling for them to serve in the Diocese of Blackburn. May I take this opportunity to express my thanks to both Mark and Andrew for the gifts they will bring during this interim period.

    A very warm welcome to all our visitors, especially if you are visiting us for the first time. There will be many of our church family who will not yet feel able to worship with us in church—though they will continue to join us as we live-stream the service as we have done for the last months. We are also much constrained in what we are able to do to ensure the safety of all who are present in the Priory today. It is mandatory to wear face masks in the Priory. You will be guided to your seats by a steward, and we ask you to take your seat in the pew to which you are guided. Unfortunately, singing is not yet permitted, so there will be no hymns, though we are able to appreciate the organ—and now the choral music. The collection plate will be at the back of Church or you can make an electronic payment, or join our Planned Giving Scheme. Holy Communion will be given (only in one kind) at the chancel step, please follow the direction of the stewards, and keep social distancing as you line up and return to your seat via the side aisles. At the end of the service, please wait, as we will be leaving church starting with the back rows first. (unless you wish to stay to the end of the organ voluntary.) Due to the new restrictions please do not socialise after the service. We continue to do all we can to ensure the safety of our congregation members, and are grateful for your patience as we work through these challenging times together as the people of God in this place.

  • PR the Story of the Nativity
    Date: 27th October 2020 Isle of Man Post Office Issues The Story of the Nativity on Christmas Stamps 2020 6 Stamps Share a Collection of Beautifully Presented Artworks Depicting the Religious Story of the Nativity This year’s Isle of Man Post Office Christmas stamps, issued on 30 October, feature scenes and artworks inspired by the story of the Nativity. 2020 marks the 40th anniversary of the consecration of the Cathedral Isle of Man. It is the cathedral church of the Church of England Diocese of Sodor and Man and was made a cathedral by Act of Tynwald in 1980. To commemorate this anniversary the Right Reverend Peter Eagles, Bishop of Sodor and Man kindly provided the issue text for this beautiful stamp collection. Issue Text Author the Rt Revd PA Eagles, Bishop of Sodor and Man, said: "These delightful Christmas stamps point to light and hope. The angel speaks of God’s presence in the world, and the simple shepherds are drawn to God’s light and love. Three Kings worship, representing the nations of the world. The light shines in the darkness, and the Mother cradles the Child in profoundest love. The eternal message of Christmas speaks to us today in these six beautiful designs." Nigel Godfrey, Dean of Cathedral Isle of Man, said: ‘It is good to have a stamp issue released on the 40th birthday of the Island’s Cathedral. The Cathedral was actually built a 100 years earlier to replace the ruined one on St Patrick’s Isle, but the driving force behind it - Bishop Rowley Hill died in office before the necessary legislation was passed by Tynwald, so it simply remained a parish church.

Its central feature is the promulgation and captioning of new Acts of Tynwald, which is the final stage in the Manx legislative process. The ceremony is in three parts. It begins in the Royal Chapel with a service of worship at 11am. Then the Members of Tynwald and other participants move to Tynwald Hill where the Acts are promulgated and any petitions are brought forward. Finally, the Court returns to the Royal Chapel where the Acts are captioned.
