| Haggai text |
In 2004 the Church of England published one of its most important reports in
recent years - Mission Shaped Church – encouraging parishes to think
differently about buildings, mission and ministry.
In 2006 the Diocese of Manchester underwent a diocesan wide assessment of
parishes, buildings, boundaries, structures and mission in order to help
Deanery Pastoral Committees prepare for future ministry patterns through
the creation of a Deanery Strategy.
Together these two initiatives have enabled St Agnes' PCC to record, assess,
and review the life, ministry and mission of the Parish of St Agnes Longsight.

words:
in this place will I give peace
Our three identified projects are
Please pray for our future that, in this place we will give peace.
