Oswestry Rural Youth Church - Commissioning Service

We invite you to join us at 4.00pm on 2 September 2018, in St. John the Baptist Church, Whittington for a service of commissioning, as Matt Barkley begins his work as Pioneer Youth Minister.

As this is a venture for young people, we want this to be a joyful celebration for all ages so we will begin with a welcome and all-age activities at 4.00pm, followed by a short commissioning service at 4.30pm, and ending with refreshments.

We hope you will be able to join us.

100 Days of Prayer

The Presidents of Churches Together in England are joining with Buckingham Palace in recognising the significance of a National Day of Prayer one hundred years ago on 4 August 1918. The National Day of Prayer called that day by King George V, brought the nation together in prayer, asking God to bring peace. The King and Queen Mary joined members of the Houses of Parliament for a special service in Westminster. Services were also held in churches throughout the country. One hundred days later, the Great War ended. From 4 August 2018, in churches across this country, let us mark the 100 days to 11 November with prayers for peace, hope and reconciliation as part of Remembrance 100.

For more information contact Catherine Butcher, HOPE's Communications Director, 07850 083414 Cath.Butcher@hopetogether.org.uk

News from Churches Together in Oswestry District.
We often hear, ‘We're all getting older, where's the next generation coming from?' Well, God is definitely moving in Oswestry
Three young families are moving into the Oswestry area to work to bring the gospel to young people.
1.Hope Church is employing a Children and Families Worker
2. The Schools Christian Worker Project has a new worker starting in September. Jane Webber, with her husband Matt, is moving up from Exeter. Jane will be visiting twenty schools in the area, including Marches School which has already made preliminary approaches. She will organise assemblies, run Christian groups, clubs and courses. Her commissioning is on Sunday 30th September at 6.30 at CTOD's annual Praise and Puddings service, to be held this year to be at All Saints Trefonen
3. A recent and most exciting project is the Oswestry Rural Youth Church. The Management Group is about to employ a Pioneer Youth Minister, Matt Barkley. With his wife and young child he is moving from Woking. He will be organising meetings and activities for 11 to 18 year olds living in the rural area aroung Oswestry. The Management Group has raised or had pledged enough funds to pay for the first two and a half years, and is working hard to raise more money and to find volunteers to work with Matt. .
His Commissioning service is at 4.00pm on 2 September in St John the Baptist Whittington. There will be a welcome and all age activities at 4.00pm followed by the service at 4.30 and ending with refreshments. It promises to be a joyful occasion for all ages.
Prayer support is requested for all these ventures and especially for Matt and his family as they say goodbye to friends and family and move to Oswestry, and for the young people of our churches, commnities and schools as the workers begin their ministry with them.
