19th September 2015 - Deanery #GoodNews+ Meeting ...

We would like to thank all who came to Durham Cathedral and all who emailed support, commented & liked the photo’s on social media – many thanks.

A good (and wise) friend of mine provided me with a reflection of the day ...

“... The service was prayerful and the dialogue between the Archbishops tested the emotions - at one moment, inspiring, the next moment humorous and at other points, soul-searching.

It gave people plenty to talk about when they find themselves in a conversation to share the joy of the Gospel and give away their cards ...”

To continue our momentum we wanted to remind and invite you, your friends, your fellow parishioners, your neighbours and anyone you care to invite to our next Deanery #GoodNews+ Meeting on 19th September.

In fact, ALL in our deanery are invited to come along to:

- St Bede’s Parish Hall, Bedlington, NE22 6HS

- On Saturday 19th September

- At 12:30pm

- We hope to have a shared table, so feel free to bring something small

It is hoped the outcome from the afternoon is our continuing fostering of relationships and to provide and share practical ways to outreach to others.

We totally appreciate that our deanery is large in area and distance can be a barrier – and we are very much mindful of this.

We hope to “travel” around the deanery and hopefully be invited to host one of these meetings at your own parish.

If you can’t attend on the day, don’t worry, but please email us back with any ideas/comments and feel free to forward this email onto those in our deanery who may wish to know about this event.

To summarise our goals of outreaching, we will cover the following areas:

• A time for prayer & reflection

• A time to talk, discuss & meet old & new friends from your own deanery

• An opportunity to give feedback on YOUR own events – Prayer Walks, “Keeping In Touch”, Durham Cathedral etc ...

• To receive information about evangelisation activities to do in our parishes for the coming Autumn, Advent & Christmas – always a great time to evangelise.

All are very welcome to come along and I hope you will be able to attend.

If you need any directions how to get to St Bede’s, please feel free to contact St Bede’s on (01670) 823258 or reply to this email.
