A Letter from Nick Jones,Subject: FW: Ministry Team GatheringDear FriendsAs you are probably already aware, from 1st September 2019, your Church will be part of a new local Ministry Team as part of the Birmingham Methodist Circuit.This will give us greater opportunities to work together effectively and imaginatively in worship and mission in a more local area, and still have the benefits of sharing the resources and support of a large Circuit.I would therefore like to invite you, and anyone from your Church who would like to be there, to a first gathering of our Team at The Cotteridge Church, Pershore Road South B30 6EJ at 4p.m. on Sunday 7th April 2019.Between 4 and 5.30, I would be very grateful if a representative or representatives from every Church in our Team could take 5-10 minutes to tell us about your Church, and most especially your Worship and Mission so we can begin to get to know each other.Please feel free to do this in whichever way you wish. You can ask someone or a group to speak, or you can use the Audio Visual facilities at Cotteridge to help if you prefer.At 5.30 we will break for afternoon tea to help us to get to know each other and continue conversation, and then at 6.30 we will come together for worship at Cotteridge, which on that evening is Holy Communion.The Churches from our Team who are all invited are;Hawkesley, Cotteridge, Maypole, Hazelwell, St. Andrew’s, Cambridge Road, Hall Green, Acocks Green and Sparkhill. I look forward to meeting with you and the people of your Churches on 7th April at 4 at Cotteridge, and sharing with you in ministry and mission in the communities to which God has called us by love to serve.If you would like more information please contact me,
Rev. Nick Jones
