Dear friends,
I hope you are well. Today I want to invite you to join Naomi and me at the Vicarage for an exciting new adventure as we explore what it means to bless.
Beginning in September Naomi and I will be hosting The Blessings Course at the vicarage on Wednesday evenings. The Blessings Course is intensely practical. Key themes we’ll explore are:
THE GOD WHO BLESSES/ Grasping the goodness of God
BEING BLESSED/ Our Personal Discovery of Foundational Truth
CALLED TO BLESS/ The Priestly Role of Every Christian
BLESSING/ The Person in Front of Me
BLESSING/ The Land
BLESSING/ Areas, Regions, Nations
BLESSING/ A New Life and a New Community
By the end of the course you should expect to be more confident in your personal relationship with the Lord; enjoying the experience of his blessing on your life; and effective at blessing others through words as well as deeds.
If you are interested, please could you sign up below. If you’d like to know a little more please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Love
Grant
are hedges your thing?
We are looking for a green fingered, hedge lover, with some free time and suitable equipment, to trim the Beech hedge behind the War Memorial, in the St. Stephen’s car park. It is quite pricey to maintain if allowed to grow past its current manageable height. It would be good to have it cut back, anytime from now onwards. If you can help please let Jo Eley know. Thank you.
Saint Laurence is a church in the heart of Reading town centre with a unique vision for a whole community to reach unchurched young people. We have an exciting opportunity for a passionate and experienced youth worker and outreach lead to help us deliver our strategy and embody the church’s vision as we “live to see unchurched young people come to faith and be shaped as church together with them.”
