    Going Deeper into God Transforming Communities Making New Disciples leading to Spiritual and Numerical Growth Collation by the Lord Bishop of St Albans The Rt Revd Dr Alan Smith and Installation and Induction by the Archdeacon of Bedford, The Venerable Dave Middlebrook of The Reverend Alex Leslie Wheatley as Rector for Potton with Sutton and Cockayne Hatley Wednesday 24 March 2021 at 7.30pm Please join us online with Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89618174133 Zoom Meeting ID: 896 1817 4133 Please note, we will be recording this service and it may be uploaded to an online public forum. Do please leave your video link turned off if you do not wish to share your image. You are encouraged to put any welcome messages that you have in the Zoom chat, these will then be collected and presented to Alex. Introduction Welcome to this service, which marks both a new sphere of ministry in the life of your new Rector and a new chapter in the worship and life of this parish. It is fitting, therefore, that we come together with the Bishop and representatives of our partner churches to offer ourselves afresh to God for the work of the Gospel. We approach God most appropriately at the beginning of worship in praise and confession. The new Rector designate is then introduced and presented to the Bishop and people. The Declaration of Assent and the Oaths to the Sovereign and Diocesan Bishop are required by law and give us assurance of the trustworthiness of his ministry. A reading from God’s word to us from the Bible is followed by a sermon, in which the same word is given relevance for this time and place.

  • Faith Leaders Call for 'Jubilee for Justice'
    Faith Leaders Call for 'Jubilee for Justice' Following the year of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, we recall the ancient custom of the Jubilee Year, in which debts would be cancelled. The Hebrew scriptures speak of a Jubilee Year in Despite these achievements, over the last thirty which unpayable debts should be cancelled. The years there has been a series of debt crises Gospel writer, Luke, records that Jesus began his culminating in the present one in Europe. A self- public ministry with a call to restore the just serving financial system has brought the global economy of Jubilee where all have enough. Jesus economy to its knees and we are now seeing the also tells those who have assets, to lend without poorest people in our own society and around the expecting a return. The Holy Qur’an condemns usury world paying the price for this excess. and requires zakah (almsgiving) as an essential duty to prevent wealth being accumulated only among That is why we ask people everywhere to join in the rich. calling for a renewed Jubilee. Finance must be put back in its place as a means to human well being. The Dharmic faiths from the Indian sub-continent We need far reaching changes in the global also teach the same principle.

    Delivering Educational Services to Church Schools: The Diocese of St Albans Service Level Agreement April 2020 – March 2021 Going Deeper into God Transforming Communities Making New Disciples Bishop’s Preface I am delighted to commend to you the Diocese of St Albans Service Level Agreement – Delivering Educational Services to Church Schools. This scheme continues to help support church schools in a time when education is changing rapidly. In the Diocese we have a set of priorities under the heading Living God’s Love. We have been inviting people, parishes, schools and chaplaincies • to journey deeper into God • to go out in partnership • to bring transformation to communities • to make new disciples This programme has run for a number of years and we are now taking it forward with renewed energy. Church schools have always encouraged young people to journey deeper into God - an offer open to young people of all faiths and none. For Christian young people, church schools can help them as they learn more about God. Church schools have also always had a key role in local communities, and many have played a significant part in helping transform the community in which they are based. The Church of England is the leading national provider of academies and we seek to build on our family of schools across all phases and age ranges, whether they be academies or a local authority voluntary aided or controlled school. Many of our schools are in areas of social deprivation as the church recognises that opportunity is for all and seeks to support, develop and encourage all its young people whatever their background.

    Cycle of Prayer 13 January - 11 May 2019 Diocese of Chester Receive the daily Cycle of Prayer on: www.facebook.com/dioceseofchester Key: C = Clergy LM = Licensed Lay Minister (Reader) (Pastoral Worker) (Youth Worker) Diocesan entries from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer are in italics. Chester Diocesan Board of Finance. Church House, 5500 Daresbury Park, Daresbury, Warrington WA4 4GE. Tel: 01928 718834 Chester Diocesan Board of Finance is a company limited by guarantee registered in England (no. 7826) Registered charity (no. 248968) Foreword This Cycle of Prayer is a reminder to pray. The best reminders have a regular rhythm about them. The reminders of the importance of family life naturally take the form of anniversary events and celebrations. The Christian Year was established for just this purpose, building upon the annual rhythm of ritual and celebration which was well developed in Jewish life. Christmas, Easter, and all the other features and festivals of the Christian Year, are there to remind us of key features of the Gospel story, and the life of the Church. The diocesan daily Cycle of Prayer is provided as a reminder to pray – and a reminder of the central importance of prayer to the Church, and the Christian life. +Peter Face painting in Edgeley Welcome ‘It seems to me their faith is too much about religion and not enough about Christianity.’ The speaker was describing a couple much involved in the life of their local church who had left a lonely aged parent needing assistance to his own devices. The criticism caused me to ponder on my perhaps too easy promise to pray for people.
