Bishop Libby has presented around 30 Bishop's Badges to those nominated for missional long service and missional innovation awards.
The special service, A Celebration of Lay Ministry, took place in Derby Cathedral.
The second service will be held on Sunday, 6 October
The annual presentations celebrate ministry and service in church and community, and recognise the distinguished service and dedication of many individuals contributing in Jesus’s name to the mission of the church.
