Curate on the Hill - January, 2023

Check out the Benefice Website: www.kingscliffebenefice.uk/

Happy new year to you all. I hope that you enter 2023 with a feeling of hope and positivity. The theme for this month has been outrageously stolen from the old adverts which said A Dog is for life, not just for Christmas. This is how I feel about faith and Jesus. Hopefully over the last few weeks you have been able to celebrate in some way. Some of you might even have ventured into a church. But the question might now be, what next? Do we start the year with resolutions, gym membership or holiday planning for the summer? Perhaps now is a time to explore what you think about the idea of faith?


With this in mind I have organised a course called ‘Growing Faith’ which will allow people a chance to explore what they truly believe and whether Jesus might be part of that. The course will run weekly over 8 weeks from 5th January until the beginning of Lent. The course will be held in Kingscliffe church for the whole benefice. The first session will start with a meal and then be an informal chat about aspects of faith.


There is no commitment and if at any point you decide that it is not for you then it is fine to let me know that you won’t be coming back. Growing Faith is designed to support two groups. First are those who might have some idea of faith but know what that might be, whose faith might not fit within the structure of the church or those who don’t know where to start. The second group is those with some sort of Christian faith but don’t know how to talk about it. Some people may regularly come to church but still not understand much about their faith. (regularly might mean every week, might mean every year for the carol service).


If this sounds like something you might be interested in please fill in the online form to let me know. https://forms.office.com/e/D9NNLHzY4n more information and the link to this form can be found on the benefice website www.kingscliffebenefice.uk/


Below are a list of the upcoming services around the benefice. I would particularly encourage families to try the new family service in Easton on the hill. There will be pizza and fun in a relaxed atmosphere.
