Rev Josephine Soon's Reception into Full Connexion
The Vale of Stour Circuit rejoiced today - Saturday 27 June - to Rev Josephine Soon approaching the end of her journey to ordination. In a service broadcast to the nation she was ‘received into full connexion’.
Being received into Full Connexion is an amazing moment. People from all around the country elected as representatives to Methodist Conference, those present to support the ordinands and representatives from the world wide Methodist Church, stand together to affirm the call of God to each ordinand. In particular conference recognises that this call has been tested over time and by God’s grace, they are now counted as worthy. This moment welcomes the ordinands into ministry within the Methodist Church and deems them ready to be ordained as a presbyter or a deacon.
Normally this would be followed on the same day by an Ordination Service but due to Covid-19 other plans will have to be made.

Vale of Stour Circuit Services and Prayer Meetings On-Line
~~updated~~
As we continue our journey in lockdown, the Biblical Scholar Tom Wright says:
The followers of Jesus are called to be people of prayer at the place where the world is in pain.
May we take up the baton of prayer for the world, the church and ourselves...
We are now able to provide a dedicated Vale of Stour on-line centre for activities such as services and prayer meetings.
See the Virtual Church tab for more information and technical details !
LIVE STREAM - please read carefully… thank you.
Dear Sisters and Brothers
So, at last there is light at the end of the tunnel. But in the short term we must not take the risks for granted as we continue to pray for the smooth and effective roll-out of the vital vaccination programme. It has been encouraging to see so many of our church members, friends and neighbours attending appointments and gaining this vital protection which will also protect those you meet. If you have any questions or worries about the vaccination programme please speak to Rev Alan.
The emergence from lockdown is very gradual and we must therefore be patient in this final phase.
As we continue our journey into Lent there is an open invitation to join one of our three online Lent Online Bible Study Groups - details are listed below.
A second Update on Josephine’s Ordination
We know know that this will be at 3pm on Saturday JUNE 19th at MARLBOROUGH SQUARE METHODIST CHURCH, Coalville. So please put this date in your diary and we hope we will be able to support Josephine on that day.
Finally please note that Rev Alan is on holiday from Tuesday 23rd for one week.
The links for our online live-streamed services this weekend are below and the full text of Sunday morning’s service is attached here for those that may not be able to access it online.
God bless you all and stay safe.
