Come along to one of a series of gatherings taking place this Autumn for an opportunity to meet with Bishop Hugh, hear his vision for our diocese and pray for our future together.
Since becoming Bishop of Worcester in January, Bishop Hugh has been travelling across the Diocese, meeting clergy and lay leaders, visiting parishes, schools and communities, and listening to the hopes, challenges and opportunities that are shaping our life together.
This autumn, you are warmly invited to one of a series of diocesan gatherings to meet Bishop Hugh, hear something of what he has discovered so far, and explore with him what it means to be Kingdom People today.
Each gathering will include time for Bishop Hugh to share his reflections, to ask questions, listen to each other, look ahead and to pray together.
Bishop Hugh said:
“I hope these evenings will be encouraging, honest and hopeful as we continue our journey as Kingdom People in Worcestershire and Greater Dudley. I will share why the phrase Kingdom People matters to me, what it might mean for the next season of diocesan life, and how communities marked by faith, hope and love can help us be church for the world as it is today. I hope you will come along and join me.”
