NCD Report and Brainstorming session: A small but determined crowd met on Sunday Sept 16 to  receive our Parish’s NCD survey results and to make future plans. We learnt that our strengths have  grown stronger and our weaknesses have become less weak  - that is, we have improved. Most changes initiated after the first survey have borne positive results. Personal and passionate spirituality still require work as does a ‘sense’ that we pray for one another regularly. One clear element that emerged – not originating with the rector, is that we need to revisit the  idea of establishing a mechanism whereby folks visit one another intentionally and ‘on behalf’ of the Parish community. Ideas on this subject will be welcomed. Please speak with the minister or Wilfred or Sandra or Ria

Although Parish Bible Study at Shannex was a great success there remains the problem that only a fraction of the attendance was made up of people from St Peter’s. Low local attendance is also an issue at the weekly Parables sessions – can you help improve these statistics at least occasionally?
