Church Life
What is a deacon?

Deacons help with the running of the Sunday services through prayer, stewarding, and waiting on the congregation in communion and with the offering. They, alongside the Ministry Team and Officers, set vision and agendas for the church body as a whole, and act as managing trustees.

'The theology revealed at Cana suggests that God is already at work with the resources that are already present. The question is not whether we have enough, but whether we trust that what we have can be offered, filled, and transformed. The abundance that emerges is rooted in what the community already has to hand. This is not a story about scarcity being magically erased. It is a story about gift being recognised and reimagined.' - Revd Dr Simon Woodman.
