We are the Church of England in Worcestershire and Dudley.
Welcome to the Diocese of Worcester.

Our diocesan vision is to grow as Kingdom People, sharing the good news of Jesus’ love in Worcestershire and Dudley.

As the body of Christ, God’s Kingdom People, we join together to worship God, make disciples, share hope, and transform communities as we live out values of love, compassion, justice and freedom.

ATC Sunday

Today is ATC Sunday - a day when the Air Training Corps (ATC), now part of the
Royal Air Force Air Cadets (RAFAC), celebrates its formation, which happened
on 5 February, 1941.

Typically observed on the Sunday closest to this anniversary, it’s a day for RAF
Air Cadets across the UK to parade and attend services, often in local churches,
to commemorate the founding of the corps and the beginning of their aviationfocused training and activities.

Fr Adam Hadley is padre to the Kingswinford Squadron, regularly leading padre’s
hour during the year and hosting a number of squadrons from across the Black
Country for ATC Sunday at St Mary’s Kingswinford.

This ATC Sunday please pray for all those who volunteer with the ATC and for the cadets themselves.
