SUMMARY:Cancelled: GoodWill Event
DESCRIPTION:Please note\, this event has been cancelled. Please email Lisa-Jayne for more information.  \nHave you got questions about Wills\, Probate & Power of Attorneys? Have you got no idea how to plan or pay for a funeral? Concerned about the eco nature of your death? Want to know about ‘Swedish Death Cleaning’? Slightly concerned your cat might eat you if you die alone? (no seriously!) \nWe’ll tackle all this and more at our ‘GoodWill’ event. \nThey say that there are two things in life that are inevitable\, death and taxes. However\, it has been proven by large corporations and a smattering of celebrities and MPs that taxes can be avoided; death\, on the other hand\, is a 100% guarantee. Why\, then\, is it still such a taboo topic? \nAt this event you’ll hear from a funeral director\, a solicitor\, a death education specialist and others in the industry and you’ll be able to ask any questions you may have about anything from funeral planning to leaving a bequest to your church\, whatever you want to know\, we’ll have the answers. \nCome along for a surprisingly light and informative event\, we promise it won’t be weird! \n  \nLisa- Jayne Lewis – Stewardship and Giving Advisor \nLisa-Jayne helps church leaders to think about how they can preach and teach about money\, how churches can find ways to increase their income\, find grants and think about regular giving and  financial stewardship as part of our Christian discipleship.

SUMMARY:Into Incumbency: Environment and Faith
DESCRIPTION:Against the background of the climate and biodiversity emergencies\, the Diocese is giving increasing priority to exploring environmental concerns as a core discipleship priority.  We achieved bronze Eco Diocese accreditation in February 2021 and are working towards silver\, recognising both that it is something we are called to do in God and that it is increasingly becoming a missional barrier when churches are not seen to be taking this seriously.  This session explores both the theological underpinning and practical outworking of environmental commitment within church life. \n  \nTo book one or more of the Into Incumbency courses please click here to access the booking form \nFor further information about the course and details of other dates please click on the programme below \nInto Incumbency Programme 2024-25

SUMMARY:Christian Aid Restore campaign: workshops and webinars
DESCRIPTION:The International development agency asks people to back new global call for debt justice. Christian Aid is calling for change to the unequal global debt system which robs millions of families of the chance of a better life. \nA series of workshops and webinars have been organised to give people more information on the issues and on how they can join the movement. \nThe charity was one of the founding members of the Jubilee 2000 international movement which won $130bn of debt cancellation owed by 35 of the poorest countries. \nChristian Aid and its supporters are now urging the UK Government to tackle the twin issues of global debt and the climate crisis which are still trapping millions of people in poverty. \n\nJennifer Larbie\, the charity’s Head of UK Advocacy and Campaigns\, said: \n“For too long\, the UK Government has backed the world’s biggest polluters and greediest corporate lenders\, fuelling the climate and debt crises\, and leaving communities struggling for survival. \n“Weather has become more severe and erratic which means crops are failing and people are struggling to feed their families. On top of this\, many at risk of climate disasters are also in a debt crisis; debt payments prevent governments from addressing their citizens’ basic needs or responding to the climate crisis. \n“But it doesn’t have to be this way. The UK is uniquely placed to act. It has the power to confront polluters and lenders who are driving the climate and debt crises. Cancelling debts and forcing polluters to pay for the damage they’ve done would provide governments with more resources to spend on health and education\, help communities recover from climate disasters\, and build resilience against future shocks. \n“We look forward to welcoming supporters to these online gatherings where we will be able to offer information\, and hopefully inspiration\, on this vital work to restore creation and to see the flourishing of all people.” \n\nTo register for the online sessions\, which start on Wednesday 26 March\, please visit the Christian Aid website and click on Get Involved and Campaigns.

SUMMARY:“Renewing Hope in Smaller Churches” gathering by ReSource
DESCRIPTION:ReSource’s primary call is to foster spiritual renewal in the little\, local and ordinary churches that represent the backbone of the Church. This is an opportunity for us to gather\, encourage one another and wrestle together with the realities of renewing hope\, particularly\, though not exclusively\, in those churches with smaller congregations. We intend the day and topic to be accessible to many in the area who are not yet part of the ReSource family. \nFacilitated by Jolyon Trickey and others\, with biblical teaching from David Newman\, formerly warden of Launde Abbey\, the day will offer an opportunity for teams and individuals to \n\nWorship and encounter God afresh;\nRenew confidence in the inextinguishable power of biblical hope; and\nWrestle with the practicalities of living hopefully in the local church.\n\nWe will also pray for each other\, enjoy a good quality lunch and offer anointing. \nIf you would like to join us\, please do book your place. \nWe recognise that many of our invitations come from word of mouth or through personal recommendation\, so do please invite colleagues or local friends who might value the attached invitation or enjoy attending the day?

SUMMARY:Chrism Eucharist 2025
DESCRIPTION:On Maundy Thursday\, join us for this special service led by the Bishop of Gloucester\, the Rt Revd Rachel Treweek\, which includes the blessing of holy oils. \nAround 400 clergy and lay ministers will come together for the Maundy Thursday service\, where they will process through the Cathedral. They will then renew their vows of ministry. This service will be live streamed from the Diocese of Gloucester’s YouTube channel. \nThe name ‘Maundy’ comes from the Latin ‘mandatum’ meaning ‘commandment’. Christians remember Jesus giving his disciples the command to love one another just as he loved them\, at the Last Supper. It is for this reason that this day is chosen for clergy and lay ministers to renew their vows. \nThe service\, called the Chrism Eucharist\, includes the blessing of holy oils used in well-known church ceremonies. These are: Chrism Oil\, which is used at ordination and confirmation services; Catechumens Oil\, used at baptisms; and Oil of Healing\, which is used when ministering to the sick and dying. The clergy will take the blessed oils back to their parishes for use throughout the next year. \nThe service starts at 11 am on Thursday 17 April\, the Thursday before Easter Sunday. Christians remember this day for the Last Supper that Jesus and his disciples shared on the night before he was crucified. During this meal\, he washed their feet and also gave them bread and wine\, an act that established the service now known as the Eucharist. On the night of Maundy Thursday\, he was also betrayed by Judas in the Garden of Gethsemane\, as he was handed over to the authorities\, who put him to death on Good Friday. \nAll are welcome to attend the service.
