Afterwards we'll plan together for the times when Readers and clergy are not available to lead our services, and work out what a 'deanery' service might look like. After lunch there will be some time thinking about the changes the deanery faces and how we could shape things to work to our best advantage. To end our day we'll worship together, perhaps using the 'deanery' service planned earlier in the day aiming to finish about 3.30pm I hope and pray that this will be a day of celebrating what is going well and excitement about the future and we'd love you, and as many people from your church as you can bring, to join us”.
