Bishop Paul invites you to join him

The Rt. Rev’d Paul Davies, Bishop of Dorking and Acting Bishop of Guildford, invites all congregations and clergy in the diocese to join him at one of 12 Gatherings across the diocese.  This follows Bishop Paul setting out that a strengthened culture of prayer will be the most important of his three priorities. It also comes as we continue to reflect on the loss of the Rt Revd Andrew Watson, the late Bishop of Guildford and look ahead together with hope.  There will be a gathering in every deanery.  Each will include an opportunity for Bishop Paul to meet congregations at a reception, praise-filled worship led by the Youth Catalyst Team and local musicians, a celebration of what God is already doing in each parish, shared through faith-building stories, prayer and a talk from Bishop Paul.

Our local Gathering will be at St Nicolas Church, Cranleigh Monday 29th June 7.30pm-9pm but if you can’t make that, you are welcome to attend another: Bishop's Gatherings - Diocese of Guildford.
