Surrey Heath Deanery Synod

Feelings may still be running high over the vote in General Synod concerning Women Bishops.  But wider questions are now being asked and lessons are starting to be drawn about the processes that led to that vote.  At our meeting on Wednesday 26th February at All Saints’, Lightwater at 7.45pm  we have the opportunity to ask our own questions and test our own suggestions about whether and how things might change. Three of our four Lay Representatives from General Synod will be there to assist us in our deliberations.

Lent Course - Everyday bread

Since Jesus of Nazareth called together a group of followers some people have found in their Christian faith a treasure which illuminates their whole life. Others have found a way of worshipping, a way of belonging, a way of praying and thinking about God which fills them with enthusiasm for changing the world around them! Yet the treasure may not be found and the way remains hidden. Sometimes, especially to newcomers, Christianity looks like a closed book instead of a glowing treasure.  This course presents a Living Christianity, provides a way of walking in God’s love and justice, encourages honest protest about where we are falling short of God’s kingdom, and offers routes into worship and prayer. The course continues.
