THE LATEST INFORMATION FROM YOUR DEANERY TEAM - February 2026

February 2026

Welcome to our February mailing. This is where we share encouragement and inspiration from around the Deanery.

During 2026 the Diocese will focus on prayer, so we invite contributions on this theme during the year as all our churches work for Kingdom growth.

Much news and encouragement beyond our Deanery boundary is published by the Diocese in a fortnightly Connect email. To stay informed and to keep to date up with issues that impact us, sign up and have this delivered to your inbox by clicking the button at the bottom of the page.

Please distribute this newsletter to your PCCs and throughout the Deanery, as it’s a great place to let others know about what has inspired us and new ideas being tried in our churches.

Synod members, please send contributions – including good quality photos – for the next newsletter, and any updated contact details to me at msndeanery@gmail.com

Thank you. Kate Mayo
