Everyone has a vocation from God.  We are all called first and foremost to ‘Follow Christ’ and we each live that out in the places that call us to serve.

On 6 September join us to rejoice in the different ways people around our Diocese serve Christ in a Celebration of Lay Ministry service led by Bishop Pete Wilcox. This special service will include the licencing of Lay Readers, a presentation of certificates to those who have completed the Foundations Course, we celebrate of the role and those who serve as authorised Focal Ministers.

The Vocations Fair will take place after the service. Representatives from different ministries across the Diocese will be there throughout the afternoon. Those attending can find out more about a range of ways to support their calling, including:

  • Ministry Experience Scheme
  • Centenary Project
  • Spiritual Accompaniment,
  • Lay Reader training
  • Focal Ministry
  • Lights for Christ
  • Local training courses
  • Ordained Ministry

Please come along at any point to talk about the different ways in which you might be called now and in the future.

The Celebration of Lay Ministry Service begins at 1pm. The Vocations Fair is from 2.30pm to 3.30pm.

Advance booking is not required.
