About Us
United Church Warminster July 2011
Last year we decided to seek God’s help via a Vision Day where members of the congregation joined with leaders from the Area to discuss how we were going to find our spiritual path and mission for the coming years. We have lost a number of members, old age calls our friends to leave to stay nearer their children, or to become more housebound or to their eternal rest. Through our Vision Day we experienced a new call to strengthen our congregation and to prepare ourselves to welcome new members. We have updated our webpage, started a worship group, doubled the number of bible study groups, designed welcome leaflets for the retirement complex across the road, started an afternoon social, affirmed the Saturday morning coffee drop-in by fixing a rota and recognised God’s hand in helping us with the outreach activities we are already regularly involved in e.g Sunday services for the local Community Radio Station, Food Bank etc. This July 2011 we re-examined our Vision Day aims and praised God to see how many of our goals have been successfully realised and set ourselves some leadership challenges. Like many churches we had been struggling to fill roles of responsibility because of dwindling numbers and rising ages. The new leadership challenges will be put to the members this August and we hope with God’s help to discern how to implement any necessary changes that the members agree.
