the vision of the Das of Blackburn is to have healthy churches transforming communities that Vision requires good leadership at every level in our parishes but also in our dasis and that’s why I want you to think about standing for Dar and sinod um well I joined Cod because I really feel that um if you’re in it you it’s important to have a voice and I and I feel like there needs to be some younger voices in that space as well and more diversity with in that space um and if you don’t see anyone that looks like you you need to be that person the best part of sin is the fellowship without a doubt I think it’s really important actually because it means sure that makes sure that the views of my parishes and my Deery are represented um and that that we’re heard you work in the parish you work in the uh de card but it’s great to come to dasan card and uh and know and meet other people as well but serve the Lord in in a bigger picture I think it helps me to encourage people to be part of the kingdom of God which is ultimately what we’re after encourage you to come on um there not that many meetings in a year so um it’s a good experience it’s important that we have lots of people involved in the dasis and all too often our elections are uncontested it’s a good place to come along meet people across the dasis get to know a good number of people and to really be involved in the heart of everything that’s done across Das today I like being involved with the synods because we learn a lot about what’s going on and we can share the information with other people your voice matters and you have um a real opportunity to make a contribution to the vision of the dases you need to make sure that your voice is heard and sinard is a way simply for your voice to be heard in amongst everything uh that is good that’s going on in the dasis it’s open to everybody um open to all subject to the criteria that you’ll find on the Daron websites so we’d love you to be to step out and join in The Wider family have a think have a pray and I really hope that you uh consider putting your name forward if you prayerfully think of U considering to become the member uh I think you’ll have fun
