Children and Youth Worker Role:

Do you love being with children?
Do you feel passionately about growing faith amongst younger generations?
Do you enjoy being part of a team?

Whether you’re an experienced children’s and youth work practitioner or right at the start of your journey, we’re open to conversations with anyone that has a heart for helping our church to build a team as we pass the Gospel on to the next generation.

We’re looking to appoint a part-time children’s and youth worker, but you don’t have to be qualified or have experience of working for a church. We’re looking for the right person who we can invest in, not someone who is the finished article.

Flexible part-time working
‘On the job’ training
Opportunities to be creative and learn new skills

This is a newly created role for 3 years.

Ministry Experience Scheme:

The Ministry Experience Scheme is run by the diocese and gives people age 18-35 the opportunity of working with their local church for a year, experiencing every aspect of parish ministry. For some it is a year of serving Jesus and the church. For others it’s a pathway towards ordained ministry and everything in between. I am delighted to announce that Chiaz Alozie has applied and been accepted for this scheme and so will join the staff team of the church for 1 year starting 1st September.

Parish Prayer:

Parish prayer is now taking a summer break. Please join us again from Tuesday 9th Sep for weekly parish prayer either in person at the vicarage or on line via zoom, the link is sent via email every week.

Prayer Chain:

If you would like to send a prayer request to the prayer chain, or join the prayer chain, please contact Jackie Brooks Cheesman: jackiebrookscheesman@yahoo.co.uk

Giving:

Thank you to you all for your sacrificial giving. If you would like to give to the work and ministry of the church please collect a form from the table at church which will enable you to give via the recommended route of the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS). However, people are welcome to give in whatever way suits them and please consider gift aiding your contribution so that the church receives an extra 25%.

Please contact Dale Gilbert for more information: treasurer@nwanglicanchurch.co.uk
