12th September 2021

A few notes from Malcolm (Superintendent) for week beginning 12th September 2021

Praise God for journeying mercies, not least for our family! We arrived safely in Lusaka Zambia together with 28 suitcases and hand luggage. We are now staying at the Woman’s Centre attached to St Pauls United Church Of Zambia church. Last time we were here was almost 20 years ago for our wedding reception.

Last Tuesday the CLT met for a day of retreat and reflection at Stockland Green. We were delighted to be joined by our Circuit Treasurer Martin Waller, Deacon Irene Tafirenyika and Revd Freddy Takvarasha. A highlights for me was the opening devolution led by Revd Dt Jimmy Dube and an afternoon session led by Revd Dr Alan Smithson helping us explore possible ways forward in Sutton Park Circuit.

Please don’t forget to offer dates for the on-line evening worship. We were delighted that Falcon Lodge congregation have offered to lead worship in November.

With all good wishes, Malcolm

Street Pastors

Erdington Street Pastors

Would like to be part of the Team?

We are now urgently in need of Street Pastors that would patrol the High Street and around schools. Full training would be provided. It is FREE for the first 20 including licensing and uniform. You need minimum of 2 -3 patrols per month and good if you can do more.

Volunteers should be over 18 (there is no upper age limit), active Christians and willing to complete 2 sets of training …virtual and 1 day in-person including sessions on Police, Community, Youth culture, drugs and homelessness. A DBS (Criminal Records Bureau Check) is required and references are obtained before joining a team of at least three/four people, each of whom will work for 3 hours together in the afternoons during the week and Saturday morning. A distinctive uniform is worn when volunteering so people know who we are.

Additionally, we are also in need of Prayer Pastors who will back up the Street Pastors while they are on the field and occasionally be in communication with them while they are on the field.

Please contact/submit your form to Jean Morton on erdington@streetpastors.org.uk And if you need any clarification, you can always contact any of the management committee member.

Pastor Rasaq Ibrahim (Chair), Claire Westmacott (Secretary), Mel Taylor (Treasurer), Rev Malcolm Oliver & Jean Morton.
