NOTICES

Anna Chaplain – Colchester Methodist Circuit is seeking to employ an Anna Chaplain to reach out to older people across Colchester and the surrounding areas. This is a new and exciting role to develop and extend the work and mission of the Circuit. Please see the job advert on the notice board if you or anyone you know would be interested in this very worthwhile opportunity.

Rev Hannah Chun is due to be ordained on Sunday 29th June in Telford. Following the morning service, where she will be received into Full Connexion, the ordination service will take place at St Chad’s church in Shrewsbury from 4pm. It is hoped both services will be live streamed into Wimpole Road for people to be involved in celebrating Hannah’s special day.

Bridgeway runs and facilitates many activities. The Mums and Toddlers Group will be a new activity starting in September.
