As part of the process to decide on the next Bishop of Worcester, following the retirement of The Rt. Revd. Dr. John Inge, the diocese is inviting everyone to ‘Join the Conversation’ to decide what experience, skills and qualities we would like in our new diocesan bishop. There is an on-line survey to facilitate this: it can be found at www.cofe-worcester.org.uk/join-the-conversation This should only take ten minutes of your time, and should be completed by 1st August.

A prayer for each new day (attributed to Cringleford Mothers’ Union)
Help me, O God, to live this day quietly, hopefully; to lean on your strength trustfully, restfully; to wait for the unfolding of your will patiently, serenely; to meet other people peacefully, joyfully; and to face every task confidently and courageously; in the name of Christ our Lord. Amen.
