          Soul Care Conversations

          We are very aware that for everyone this time of COVID-19 isolation is a strange one. We want to offer the chance to have a one to one conversation with a member of the wider ministry team. For those who wish, we could use the framework of a Personal Discipleship Plan (PDP), which encourages us to think about our gifting and where we are at with God. It is all confidential, and very much led by you.

          We are happy to be led by individuals as to what would help you most at this time and invite you to find fresh ways to deepen your faith, or explore your doubts.  If you would like a soul care conversation, please email office@witneyparish.org.uk

          Thank you for all of your feedback on the groups during 2021. We’re looking at all of your comments at present and hope to respond to those requests in the 2022 Programme.
