Ministers' Quiet Day - Tuesday 5th June 2018
I am pleased to be able to invite you to share in our annual ministers' Quiet Day on Tuesday 5th June at Barnes Close. I'm sorry not to give you as much notice as usual, but there has been some uncertainty about who we might have to lead us. I am now delighted to say that we will be led by Richard and Sally Bubbers from Alvechurch. I haven't personally come across them, but Richard comes highly recommended by someone whose opinion I trust, and I'm sure we will all appreciate their theme for the day - "Silence - A Gateway to God". There are more details on the attached booking form. Please mark the date in your diary now, and send your booking as soon as possible to Rachel Vernon at the Synod Office. I look forward to seeing you there. Kind regards, Marion Thomas |
