Telling Our Story – Shoots of Hope or Choking Thorns?
You are warmly invited to a day 'Telling our Story' exploring how our parishes can flourish in Communion for Mission and the challenges we face, on Saturday 14 November, at St John the Baptist, Trowbridge. Our keynote speaker will be Fr Jerome Ajakaiye, who will offer his thoughts and encouragement as a parish priest.
I would encourage you to attend, giving you the opportunity to share your parish experiences, and to hear some inspiring stories;
a) how the idea of a community kitchen brought three parishes together;
b) of restarting anew the parish Council;
c) how holding parish conversations brought three parishes together;
d) how to journey in faith together.
Perhaps you have a story to tell. Please do come along, refreshments are available from 9.30am, we will be finished by 3pm.
