Congregations from across the Stantonbury Ecumenical Partnership gathered together for a joint service at St Andrew’s Church, Great Linford, on Sunday March 30.

St Andrew’s Church, Great Linford, was the setting for the first SEP Joint service of the year.

The Holy Communion Service was led by Team Rector, the Rev Chi Okpala, Vision Enabler, the Rev Phil Dunning and the Rev Sam Muthuveloe who all spoke during the service.

Members of all churches in the partnership were in attendace at the packed service.

In January the Rev Sam Muthuveloe and the team at Cross and Stable Church, Downs Barn, launched a new venture on the final Sunday of the month with a Family Breakfast Club.

Intended for the whole family the club beginning at 10am includes breakfast before stories in the Bible are explored through activities and music. I

It is just one of a number of possible new ways the Partnership is hoping to launch to reach out to more people in North East Milton Keynes. The second Breakfast Club is this Sunday, February 23.

Proceedings wrap up at 11.45am.

The new SEP Mission, Evangelism and Disclipleship group will hold its first meeting, organised by Vision Enabler, the Rev Phil Dunning, on March 17 where further ideas will be discussed.
