September: A Month of Beginnings and Endings 

The Hanley Team Ministry September magazine is out now—and this month’s theme invites reflection on both new beginnings and meaningful endings.

📰 Leading the issue, the Bishop of Lichfield shares a thought-provoking article on significant legislation currently moving through Parliament, focusing on how we make life choices at both the start and end of life.

📚 As September brings a return to school, work, and even the football season, it’s a time of fresh starts. Diocesan Secretary Sam Ruston explores this theme in her article on new chapters and transitions.

🙏 Don’t miss the beautiful prayer by Daphne Kitching on page 18—perfect for this season of change.

💡 This issue also features:

• An inspiring Spotlight on Mary Chanot, our PCC Secretary and Safeguarding Co-ordinator

• A few classic laughs from Uncle Eustace

• Puzzles to challenge your brain 🧩

• And on the Back Pew, a timely feature on the vital role of bees and why they need our help 🐝

We hope you enjoy reading the Hanley Team Ministry magazine this month as much as we enjoyed putting it together!
