The first meeting of the Mission, Evangelism and Discipleship group is to be held on Monday March 17.
Convened by Vision Enabler, the Rev Phil Dunning, the meeting will be held at Bradwell Chapel in Loughton Road, Bradwell, starting at 7.30pm. Phil already has some representatives from churches across the Partnership but would welcome further recruits for the project.
Phil says: “I am seeking to link our churches together to promote, enable and coordinate the missional activities we need for spiritual and numeric growth.
“These will be both strategic and prayerful meetings, designed to consider what we are already doing individually as churches and possibly how activities could be extended or replicated in other areas.
“We will be asking questions about mission effectiveness and what else should be done to promote faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and his authority in our midst. All the partnership churches need to make allowances toward this strategic thinking, and the group will be following up with those who perhaps prefer only to please themselves.”
Meanwhile we have a new Bishop of Buckingham, the Rt Rev Dave Bull who was consecrated at Canterbury Cathedral on February 27. There will be a service of welcome for Dave at Christ the Cornerstone Church is Saxon Gate, Central Milton Keynes, on Sunday March 9 at 3pm. All are welcome.
