At the meeting, we looked back at the week of “Believing in Devizes” in June. The week had been packed with different events and we watched Pauline Hawkins’ film, recording those seven days, with great delight.
We discussed how working and sharing with our friends, form different Churches, had been such an uplifting and inspiring experience. How we had felt encouraged and enabled to reach out together to the people of our Town. We thought about how we might take some of those ideas forward.
We decided that our aim would be:-
- To establish a regular Prayer Station in Town; ideally a weekly presence, always on the same day, at the same time and place.
- Inter-Action with folk on the canalside: We are aiming to join in the celebrations in 2010 to mark the 200th Anniversary of the Kennet & Avon Canal.
- Carer’s Lunch: The group who lead the Services for Healing, Wholeness and Peace, intend to continue to reach out to carers, offering them love and support over a simple lunch and with a short Service, during the year.
- We also felt the need to meet together for prayer and worship, within our Partnership of Churches, in order to learn more of each other and work more closely together as we reach out to our Town.
Therefore we will: Hold Prayer Breakfasts – possibly quarterly, meeting in each church in turn, and praying together in that Church’s tradition.
There was a call to Worship Together more often, and also to experience worship in different traditions by moving around the Churches on a regular basis.
We do hope and pray that you will support us and join with us as we form a closer bond within our Partnership of Churches and reach out together to the people of our Town.
