Today hundreds of young people from our East Anglia area and other areas across the country will be setting off for Lincolnshire Agricultural Showground as Dreaming the Impossible (DTI) starts.

DTI, the national Vineyard youth, which goes on all weekend, is all about seeing the next generation encounter and walk with Jesus, being equipped to live in the reality of the Kingdom of God.

Over the last five years the ever-popular and growing youth event has been on an amazing journey, seeing God gather and transform young people from throughout the movement. God has been so generous as we have seen His Kingdom first hand.

For those to old to attend, please pray that the Lord blesses them and does amazing things this weekend. Pray for reasonable weather and for their safety.

John Mumford is the National Director of Vineyard Churches in the UK and Ireland. He studied theology at St. Andrews and at Cambridge and John was ordained in Salisbury Cathedral in 1977, and served his title at Canford Magna, Dorset, before joining the staff of St Michael’s Chester Square, Belgravia, London. In 1987, John and his wife Eleanor planted and led the South West London Vineyard church until 2008 when they handed over the leadership of the church in order to concentrate more upon the oversight and development of the Vineyard movement, both nationally and internationally.

The appointment of Canon Theologian is made by the Bishop of Coventry. Bishop Christopher writes:

“John Mumford has led the Vineyard in the UK and Ireland with great dedication and wide vision since its foundation. He built the Vineyard into a dynamic presence within British and Irish Christianity and shaped it into a movement of blessing for all the churches. I am especially glad to be able to mark John’s contributions to the Church of England first through his early ministry within it and, then, through his ministry to it through the Vineyard’s influence on many of our parishes and people, not least in the Diocese of Coventry itself.”

Upon his appointment, John Mumford writes:

“I am overwhelmingly honoured to have been invited by the Bishop of Coventry to become an Honorary ‘Canon Theologian’ of his Cathedral. Having first been ordained in the equally magnificent Salisbury Cathedral, I have since been privileged to serve the Vineyard movement for the last 25 years, and continue to do so. This honorary position does much to mark the mutual respect and unity that the Anglican church and the Vineyard movement have long enjoyed. Together, we are all seeking to serve God, to preach the gospel to this land and to deepen our theological understandings, with each of us complementing the other and serving in our own unique ways. I greatly look forward to serving the Diocese and the Cathedral and with the Anglican family in any way I can, alongside my national and international duties with the Vineyard movement.”

The Dean of Coventry, The Very Rev. John Irvine:

“We are very pleased to welcome John Mumford as our new Canon Theologian. This is an wonderful time to join the Cathedral in a year where Coventry is to welcome so many new people to the city; Canon Mumford will be helping us to communicate the Gospel in this exciting year, in ways that are faithful to the Scriptures and to the tradition, and that will speak to people today. We are really looking forward to work with John.”

This service is purposely designed to be a ‘no-frills,’stripped down’ style where we come to meet with the living God in simplicity and with the least distraction.

Our guest speaker is John Hammond from West Suffolk Vineyard Church,Bury St Edmunds.

If you are visiting or just looking at faith, you are most welcome to come and see what we are like and ask your questions.

It is a big, big celebration where believers all across the globe will be gathering on Sunday morning to give thanks to God.

If you are free for an hour-and-a-half, come and join us. Visitors and those just looking especially welcome. We’d love to see you.
