LIVING CHRIST’S STORY – CONSULTATION PRAYER
God our loving Father, you have called your Church into being in your love and strengthened us for your service. Guide and inspire us as we seek to re-shape our approach to mission and ministry in our diocese; that we may be a joyful Church of missionary disciples, one in heart and mind; for the sake of your kingdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

A message from Liz Calver at Cross Hill Methodist Church.
'Some of you will remember Rev Brice Herbert, Methodist minister, who came to Hunmanby from New Zealand. He arrived in 2007 for one year....and stayed for four! Brice died peacefully on Wed 24th March with his wife Judith and family at his side. We remember Brice in so many ways....his beautiful floral arrangements may come to many minds.....but those of us at Hunmanby will remember a caring, inspirational Minister who exemplified the love and grace of God in all he did.’
