Synod Staff officers and staff members were kindly hosted by Christ Church United Reformed Church in Leicester at the last of this year’s Synod Team on Tour events.
Following visits earlier this year to Derby, Northampton and Lincoln, they once again based themselves in one local church on Monday 28 October, offering the opportunity for members of that congregation or any other to drop in during the afternoon or evening. Members of several churches across the county came along to meet the team, bring questions and hear about some of the resources and support available through the Synod.
Moderator The Revd Geoffrey Clarke concluded the day by leading prayers for all the churches who participated and thanking the members and elders of Christ Church for their warm hospitality.
Churches have welcomed these visits and the team plans to continue them in 2025, touring widely around the East Midlands. As well as maintaining an open invitation to come and chat, they also plan to offer the chance to take part in a short workshop at set points during the day, exploring our Synod-wide focus on Talking Faith.
Would your church be interested in hosting the team for a day next year? If so, please contact Synod Administrator Chris Willis on admin@urc5.org.uk .
