St Philip’s Church is celebrating it’s 100th anniversary, and it was an ideal opportunity for the Archbishop to visit the centre, meet with representatives of many faiths and deliver a talk on Faith in Public Life.

On Saturday, 17th October, the Cathedral brought together the different lay ministries of the diocese in a service of celebration. New Readers were licensed, Pastoral Assistants, Evangelists and Children's workers renewed their vows and the life of the living church was celebrated. The overarching theme is that of all being sent out to minister, and returning to the 'common centre' in order to be renewed for the work God has called us to do, and the people he has called us to be, as part of His mission to the world.

Bishop Tim said, “I am delighted to be signing the contract that signifies the start of the renovation of Launde Abbey.

It’s a year since Hope Hamilton Church opened the doors for young people at ‘The Unit’ a converted retail premises in Hamilton. So we decided to look back and celebrate what’s happened.
During last autumn we opened for ‘drop-in’ style clubs, 3 times a week. The sessions were lively, and quite unstructured. 10-15 young people attended each session. Tom Cufflin, our church youth worker took the lead, with support from Phil White and Hope Hamilton Church members.

a monthly briefing and prayer guide
“St Martin’s House – can we fix it?”
Tenders came back near the beginning of last month, and the good news is that they were, as hoped for, very competitive, and the best one, on analysis, stacked up as genuine. That means we’re in the good position of having a preferred contractor, and a period of time within which we need to sort out a few things before making a definite decision to go ahead.
