Around 45 people (including 35 church leaders) gathered together at Jubilee Central church in Hull on 9 October for the launch of Hull 2030.
Hull 2030 is a new movement to pray for, facilitate and encourage the planting of 20 new gospel-centred churches in Hull by the year 2030. It came about through a partnership between the Anglican ReNew and New Frontiers churches of Hull because of the massive need for new gospel-centred churches to reach those currently unreached, and therefore the need to work together wherever possible.
Compassion of the Lord Jesus
Steve Wilcox, vicar of the Anlaby Churches, used Matthew 9.35-38 to encourage all to have the compassion of the Lord Jesus as the hundreds of thousands of harassed and helpless sheep without a shepherd are all around.
