Posted on by Laura Thomas

Wills, Probate & Powers of Attorney Workshop

We are all getting older! But wouldn’t it be great to know that all our affairs are in order so that those we leave behind don’t have to worry?
Wills are about what happens after we die.
Powers of Attorney cover the common situation when we are still here but are incapacitated (for whatever reason) to handle our affairs.
We’re hosting a free workshop on Saturday 28 September in St Michael’s Centre, starting at 10am, and finishing at 12pm.

The speaker is Heledd Wyn, a Partner in the Bristol-based law firm of Shakespeare Martineau Solicitors (formerly Gregg Latchams) to speak at this workshop. Heledd specialises in Wills, Probate, Estates, Trusts, Tax and Powers of Attorney, and she belongs to the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), an organisation for solicitors and others specialising in such matters, which carries out its own professional qualifications.

Areas covered in the workshop:
•Wills
•Powers of Attorney
•Inheritance tax
• Care Home fees

If you have yet to make a will, or need to update your will, or enquire about Powers of Attorney, or are considering Care Home provision, then please come along to Seminar Room S2 in the new St Michael’s Church Centre for an informative and stimulating workshop.

Please sign up for your free place.

Ordinations

On Saturday 29 June Revd Ellie Huggins is being ordained as priest! This is the next stage in her curacy, and we are so excited to share in this as church family.

Ellie says “For a long time I felt the Lord calling me into leadership in the church. It’s been a very long journey, but it just feels like the culmination, as it’s recognised within the church that this is something that God is calling me to. I am really excited about the opportunities that will now open up. I can’t wait to preside at Communion, and I’m really excited for what the Lord has in this next chapter“

The ordination service is at 3pm on Saturday 29 June at Bristol Cathedral. All are welcome to come along (arrive early to get a seat!)

Also that weekend Catriona Rawlins and Megan Barrick are being ordained as Deacon, which is the first stage of their curacies. Catriona has been on placement with us this year, and Megan was with us as a youth worker before her vicar training. The service is at 10.30am on Sunday 30 June at Bristol Cathedral.

Do join in with praying for Ellie, Catriona and Megan as they continue into the next stage of their calling.
