ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Its with great delight that we can announce the pending arrival of our new leader in Joe Fielder. Joe is joining us from Preston and his licensing will be on April 19th at 3pm. All welcome! More details about Joe and his ministry will be published shortly but in the meantime here are some of Joes own words describing himself - I love Jesus, I love the Bible and I love people. I also love to have a laugh. I’m a southerner by background and by accent but have lived I the North West for 12 year, 8 in Preston. I became a Christian at the age of 16 through a summer Christian holiday. I just went to go Go-Karting but got knocked flat by the clarity, simplicity and yet power and truth of the gospel- that Jesus loved me enough to die for me to take away my wrong, and judgment so I could be free to be God’s friend. That’s why I am a vicar- so I can take as many chances and opportunities as possible to pass on to whoever and wherever that God loves them. I’m married to Anne and have 3 lovely, lively and loud kids. I collect Marmite jars, eat curry, and wish I had more hair. My hearts yearns that urban areas, the church of England and men especially would know and love Jesus, and know his wholeness and power. 2 things have massively provoked me in recent years and they are both things that Jesus said: Jesus’ invitation to rest in him (Matt 11:28-30), and his prayer that ‘we would be one so that the world might believe in Jesus’ (John 17:20-23) |
