Sending Sunday

April 10th, 2026

Dear church family

'So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off.' (Acts 13:3)

We are in the countdown to New Wells Finberry being launched in just two Sundays' time! This site being launched is such a testament to God's kindness, provision and faithfulness. Our church has had a sense of calling to plant a church in Finberry for a very long time, it was a vision given and prayed into for many years and now we are stepping into that call. It hasn't always been easy waiting for a door to open, but God's timing is always perfect, and we are so excited and expectant to see what God is going to do in and through New Wells Finberry.

On Sunday we are having a sending service where we are going to lay hands and pray for the team that are going. This is something we see modelled by the early church. At the start of Acts 13, it says that as they worshipped and fasted together the Holy Spirit told them to set apart Barnabus and Saul for the work that God had called them to. They then laid hands and prayed for them before sending them off. Although we are sad that a part of our family will now be meeting somewhere else on a Sunday morning, we want to send them with our biggest blessing.

Barnabus and Saul were sent off but they never stopped being part of the wider community of the early church. In the same way, we are sending off the Finberry team, but they will not stop being part of our church family. We may not see each other on a Sunday morning but there are other days in the week we can see them, check in on them and see how we can be praying for and blessing them moving forward. In the meantime, let us not cease praying for our church family as a whole but particularly for Finberry.

Lots of love,

Katie ?
