Chaplaincy Workshop – Saturday 15th March – RSVP here
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

Prayers
We hold in our prayers:
– our new Suffragan Bishop, Revd Canon Andrew Norman as he prepares for his installation on Thursday 27th February
– the nation of Germany in which we live. That those voting and those who are elected may they honour one another and seek the common good.
We remember also those who will be affected by the outcome of the election, but who do not have the right to vote.
– for the Vesperkirche at the Leonhardskirche – for those who serve and those who are served
