@SophCowan Love this it sounds great. Hope it goes well!

[Dan Scott @RevdDanScott]

@NewhamMuslims @MPSNewham @NewhamLondon So sorry to hear about this, though thankful for the swift response.

As a local Christian leader and on behalf of our church in Stratford we stand with you against this hateful action & want to do all we can to combat against the divisive rhetoric you are right to call out.

Today’s Wellbeing Morning @School360_ was Diamond Painting. Careful concentration but also great conversation and connections made.

The mornings are a space to meet neighbours, share a cuppa and learn something new. Free thanks to funding from @NewhamLondon. Restarting 7th Nov

With winter on the way, why not visit our community cafe every Thursday from 9am to 11:30am? Enjoy tea, biscuits, and a chat with us.

This month, thirteen #ChelmsDioNewRevs will be ordained at @ccathedral. Here they are on their ordination retreat at @RetreatPleshey. Please join us in praying for them ahead of their ordination services.

Because too often it isn't. Just 8% of people in film and TV come from a working-class background compared to 60% from upper-middle-class backgrounds. Journalism has a similar problem. It means the stories of working-class communities are rarely accurately or adequately told.

PLANTERS ARE IN
Thanks to @NewhamLondon for these! They follow a campaign from the church, residents and @NewhamCitizens. Already seeing an impact on litter and anti-social behaviour.

Celebrate with us WED 18th SEPT from 3:30pm; working together to build a better neighbourhood.

In 2023, the suicide rate for men increased to 17.4 deaths per 100,000, the highest since 1999.

5 years ago, I could have been part of that statistic. I'm glad I got help.

If you're struggling, you're not alone. There's no shame in getting support.

All 16 & 17-year-olds should have the right to vote, allowing thousands of young people to have a say on decisions that impact them.

Yesterday, community leaders across Citizens UK gathered in Parliament Square to meet with newly elected MPs & continue campaigning for change 💪

[Dan Scott @RevdDanScott]

Great time with the PCC of Greenstead w. St Anne, Colchester today. An estate church full of local leadership, inclusive, committed to mission and hope and abounding in stories of lives changed!

Inspirational, and great to see concrete actions planned out of today

[Terrible Maps @TerribleMaps]

I've created the survey!

If enough people complete it I'll be able to create a vast array of terrible maps from the data. It should take less than 10 mins to complete so if you have 5-10 mins to spare i'd really appreciate your answers.

Please share/like/comment to increase reach!

(Link is in subsequent post because putting a link in a post seems to massively limit reach)

Thanks!

Estates ministry could use a gift or two

Consider what help churches on housing estates need, says @SophCowan

[Secrets from a Prison Cell @cellsecrets]

The prison industrial complex is built on money of course. I believe included in this unjust system is the shaming and putting fear into the offender they will never amount to anything more than a criminal. We are not defined by our past and believe in a world of second chances!

[Chelmsford Diocese @chelmsdio]

Anyone who has an interest in estates ministry and/or is serving communities in those contexts, whether ordained or lay, is encouraged to come along!

This FREE event will take place from 10am - 3pm at Meadgate Church in Chelmsford.
