Pray for those heading up the new Deaneries

Pray for those who have been appointed Area Deans as well as everyone who will form part of the leadership team in the new deaneries.

Following the consultation into proposed changes to our deanery structure, a Bishop’s Pastoral Order came into effect in February, reducing our deaneries from 13 to 6.

Bishop John said, “I am delighted that so many people contributed to the consultation on the changes to our deaneries, resulting in a number of amendments to the Pastoral Order. This new structure is an important step in ensuring our diocese is fit for purpose going forward, allowing us more flexibility in deploying ministry and organising mission. I pray that this will result in new partnerships and ideas for taking the love of Jesus out into our communities.”

The new deaneries are:
• Greater Dudley
• Redditch and Bromsgrove
• Kidderminster and Stourport
• Worcester
• Malvern and Upton
• Pershore and Evesham

Further details are available on our website: buff.ly/3duKzNK

Sad, but understandable news

At their last meeting of 2020 the Trustees of Holland House made the decision to close the House until at least March 2021.
As you are aware the government has since announced a full lockdown and as such all staff are currently on furlough.
