Second Sunday Supplement on the 9th August will take the form of a short pilgrimage around our locality. We’ll walk and talk together, stopping and praying for our community along the route of about 1 mile. We’ll start and end at Central at the usual times (5pm – 5.45pm with refreshments afterwards.)

Community Survey
We’re very pleased to be commissioning Deacon Ian Cartwright of Imagine Projects to undertake a survey of community needs in the Guildhall Ward.
This research will:
- Give local people a say in the future of their community
- Avoid unnecessary duplication of provision
- Deepen the Churches understanding of the local community
- Ensure any potential projects will meet real needs
- Create a sense of local ownership and participation
The research will also help the Church to deliver mission whilst engaging the community through the project. The project will also enable the Church to set clear goals for their mission and ministry and gain a credible understanding of the area in terms of needs and opportunities.
So far there’s been a Project inception meeting, some Desktop research and last week say the first Stakeholder focus group. To follow will be some Community engagement, Market testing focus groups, a Final debrief and then the Implementation.
The most visible part of this process will be a survey to all homes and businesses in our locality.
We’re very much looking forward to the results of this work to inform the rest of our Transforming Central project.
Carol singing
Thanks to those who came and joined in or listened to our carol singing in King’s Square this morning. We raised over £180 for Action for Children.
