-
To ensure the flourishing of
St@PH
-
To launch an outreach programme
in Bannerbrook Park
-
To enhance our welcome ministry
Marc Catley will be leaving the parish at some point later
this year. He has undertaken much valuable work, not least in his role as
leader of St@PH, our worship centre that meets in Park Hill School twice a
month. We have appointed a new leader: Stephen Warne, with Kirsten Shelton
offering invaluable admin support. We have great confidence in these
individuals and in the future of St@PH. It is, however, a high priority
for the whole church to monitor and ensure the ongoing success of St@PH.
If this priority is about continuity, then our second is very new. You
will all be aware of the new housing development at Bannersbrook Park on the old
Massey’s site. We seek to support and encourage people on that estate in
worship and Christian fellowship, while seeking ways to build Christian
community with them. We recognise that new estates often struggle to build
up a sense of community and we seek to support them in that task, while ensuring
that those who wish to worship the living God should find a spiritual home to do
this.
Thirdly, we want to enhance our welcome ministry so that every person whatever
their background or situation feels quickly part of the family. We want to
communicate more effectively the love of God and will make it a high priority to
find ways to achieve this.

Ken Littlewood
Ken Littlewood
This last month, family, friends and colleagues bid farewell to Ken Littlewood.
Ken had lived in the parish for nearly twenty years, latterly in Lyndhurst
Croft. However, he is best remembered for the many decades he spent as a market
stall holder in the city centre, only finally retiring as he approached eighty.
Ken was a vital member of the National Market Traders’ Federation, negotiating
leases and rents with Coventry City Council. He also worked tirelessly to raise
money over many years for Coventry Lions. He will be remembered as a true
gentleman and will be much missed by his wife Mercy; his children Tony and
Marilyn and eight grandchildren.
