Next Sunday we will be celebrating with 40 ALMs (Authorised Lay Ministers) who have
completed their training over the past year. The Bishop will join the new ALMs at the
Cathedral at 6.30pm for a special service recognising their commitment to furthering
the Kingdom of God in specific areas. From worship leaders to evangelists, pastoral
assistants to children and youth workers, over forty Christians from across the Diocese
will come together to celebrate their achievement.
ALMs are important to our churches and the Diocese as a whole, supporting and
working alongside ordained and other lay ministers in their parishes in their specific
roles, to encourage and grow the Kingdom. They are trained generally and then in
particular areas and are taught how to use their existing skills and knowledge to best
serve Christ.
Please pray for all our new ALMs as they fully step into their ministry; that God would
bless them and help them as they embrace every aspect of their roles. Pray for all those
across the Diocese who continue to serve faithfully in this role.
