Moving on in Ministry and Mission

The Anglican church community in Droitwich has been giving a great deal of time and thought to strengthening its identity and purpose in the past couple of years. This weekend (20 May) we launched a new stage in this process with a personal invitation to every member of our congregations to consider how each might contribute to the church's ministry and mission here. We want to be more outward-looking, more sensitive to the needs of the community, better equipped to welcome newcomers and enquirers, and more ready to explore and develop our personal faith and commitment to God. Some people will be able to make a practical contribution, others will be able to offer support through prayer; some will find their main focus of ministry in a particular place, at work, home or school; others will be more involved through church structures. Some people will find themselves continuing a current role, whilst others may feel drawn to something new. Whichever it is, we are trying to become more aware of both the needs around us and of the gifts and resources we have to offer as Anglican Christians. We are called to service by God as individuals but we work together as a community united in Christ, sharing what we have and encouraging one another. If you want to find out more just get in touch.
