The Bishop of Buckingham, the Right Revd Dave Bull, is to visit the Stantonbury Ecumenical Partnership on Tuesday (January 6) to answer questions about our current ministry situation.

The meeting, which is open to all members of our churches, will take place at St Andrew’s Church, Great Linford at 7pm.

The Bishop, pictured, wants to show his support for the Partnership so put the date in your diaries now so you don’t miss out on hearing how the Diocese can help the SEP at this time.

It is vitally important that all of our six churches are represented at this meeting so we can hear what support the Bishop can offer and we can inform him of what help we would like from him and the Diocese as we continue to be understaffed in our ministry team.
