Two Diocesan Events in Runnymede in OctoberThis month we will have two important diocesan-led events in our deanery. Please support these two events and take the opportunity to meet some of our leaders, hear some inspired speakers and get to know the latest programme to help rejuvenate your Church. Beyond the “From Evidence to Action” RoadshowRevd Alan Hulme, Director and Team Leader of the Diocese of Guildford Parish Development and Evangelism Department, will visit Runnymede for the next Deanery Synod on Tuesday, 6 October (7:15pm for 7:30pm start) at St John’s Church, Egham. At this meeting Alan will expand on the content of the Roadshow which explained some key things that we could learn from the “From Evidence to Action” (FETA) programme, which was a follow on from the previously discussed report 'From Anecdote to Evidence. FETA is a hands-on programme with case studies and resources available and the evening will be an interactive presentation that will give new insights and ideas to all participants. Diocesan Vocations Evening “Hearing God’s Call”On Sunday, 11 October at 6:30pm, Bishop Andrew will once more be visiting Runnymede to preach in a non-Eucharistic service with a vocational theme. The Bishop and William Challis will be available for further talks after the service. This will cover vocations in a wider sense but the focus will be on ordained ministry, including the testimony of one or two ordinands. |
