The coming week...

'Living God's Love' in Abbots Langley.  'Living God's Love' is a journey.  It's an invitation to discover new things about God, ourselves and the world; to look with fresh eyes and explore new ways.  It's an inviation to journey together as God's people.  Bishop Alan is inviting us to

* journey deeper into God, in prayer, worship and commitment;

* go into partnership to bring transformation to communities, local and global;

* walk alongside others on their journeys as we seek to make new disciples.

It will take time to discern the road ahead as we pray, as we look, listen and learn together.  To help us on this process we are now entering a time of Mission Action Planning.  If you live in Abbots Langley or Bedmond, or if you worship, or have ever worshipped at St Lawrence or the Church of the Ascension, we'd like you to help us in this process.  You can download our survey questions here.

There was also an article about Mission Action Planning and our Parish Day in the September 2011 edition of Outlook, the parish magazine - you can read the article by clicking here.
