We are delighted to have Bishop Sandy Millar, former vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB) with us on Sunday 23 November at our morning service.
Sandy was the vicar at HTB for over twenty years where he oversaw the vision and growth of Alpha, along with other initiatives such as The Marriage Course.
He and Annette were close friends of Vineyard founders John and Carol Wimber and remain dear friends of ours today. Sandy is an inspiration for many leaders and churches, inside and outside the Anglican church, and so it is joy to welcome him to Stour Valley Vineyard in November.
For more information, please contact the church office or ring 01787 377 670.

We have been truly amazed at all the local churches and schools who have collected food donations for Storehouse foodbank.
We would like to say a huge thank you to the 25 churches and 8 schools who have had harvest food collections. This generosity has enabled us to stock up the Storehouse foodbank, ready to help those in great need over the autumn months and send out a message of hope for all those families and individuals facing tough times in our community.
God bless you all.
