On Sunday 16th March the Old Catholics will be holding their Gemeindeversammlung and have use of the church for the whole day. This presents a great opportunity for us to hold a Chaplaincy Workshop. This workshop will allow us to engage in learning, reflection, and worship together. We will begin at 2:00 PM and conclude with a Communion Worship at around 5:30 PM.
This gathering is intended for all members of the chaplaincy, especially:
- The Church Council and Wardens
- Associate Priests (PTOs)
- All involved in the various ministries and vocations, including but not limited to:
- Choir, liturgy, and music team
- Welcome team
- Ministrants
- Vestry team
- Coffee team
- Refugee team
- All members of the congregation who wish to participate
I am excited about this opportunity to come together, learn, reflect, and explore how we can deepen our engagement in cultivating the Lord’s vineyard and magnify His name through our ministry. I hope you are as enthusiastic as I am about this meaningful endeavour.
Blessings,
+Antonio
