Lay Ministry Celebration Service – Saturday 14 September

Last Saturday the Diocese held a service, at Coventry Cathedral to celebrate all forms of lay ministry within the diocese.  Bishop Ruth Worsley, Acting Bishop of Coventry and Rob Harrison, Director of Ministry and Leadership led the service.  This replaced and included the Reader Celebration service.  It reflected and celebrated the time and commitment given in many forms by lay people, without whom the church would not exist. 

For the first time ever, each parish was given the opportunity to nominate one or two lay people who had contributed to the church in the last year.  We nominated Chris Foy for his work not only as organist and choir master, but also on the PCC, with safeguarding, Pause in the Park and being around to open and lock the church, simply support things that are happening at the church and supporting the Deanery.  Next year we expect to nominate two different people as a way of recognising and thanking them. 

The service also included the licensing of two new Readers and the re-licensing of 33 Readers, who renew their licence every four years.  This year was my turn to be re-licensed. 

In addition people who had completed one of the Pathways for Lay Training were also recognised and received their certificates.  These allow you to start with simply completing one session or a short course of five sessions and then build up to a bigger qualification, if you want. If you want to know more about the Pathways or training in general please talk me.

The picture shows Fiona and Chris, but also Sue Chetwynd who came to support Chris.
