Deanery Synod will be postponed until January 2025, as although there is much going on within the deanery, there isn’t actually anything specific to report back to Synod at the present time.
The next Deanery Synod will be in January, when we will be at a stage to report more on how the vacancies are progressing and on how the implementation of the Deanery Strategic Plan is developing and this will be a open meeting with everyone welcome. Amongst others, Kate Stacey (Collaborative Lead Collaborative Ministry Lead: Life Long Learning from theMission and Ministry Department) will be joining us, for a conversation around Focal (local) ministry across the deanery.
We are also trying to improve our contact lists across the deanery and would be very grateful if you could check with your PCC’s that all Churchwardens. Deanery Synod Reps and Treasurers are receiving the deanery emails. If not, please could you ask them to email us, so that we can update our lists.
In the meantime don’t forget the Youth Consultation morning at Bream on Saturday 23rd November, for everyone involved with or interested in Youth Ministry across the deanery.
With very many thanks and blessings,
Bea Erskine Chris Witham
Area Dean Lay Chair
