HAVE YOU
EVER WONDERED IF YOU MIGHT VOLUNTEER FOR A LAY ROLE IN CHURCH LIFE, OR EVEN
EXPLORE ORDAINED MINISTRY OR PAID LAY WORK?
-
If you have a sense that God might be nudging you in to a role in church life,
but you’re not sure and you don’t want to make a fuss at church, then you can
come to this event and meet people from other churches.
-
It is a place where there are no ‘silly’ questions
How it works:
-
We have some ‘books’ committed to be at the event.
Local Preachers, Administrators, Stewards (circuit and church), Presbyters,
Deacons, Children Youth & Families Workers, Global Mission Partners,
Pioneer or Planters, Chaplains, Youth Reps, Youth President and other young
adult leaders.
- Readers’ visit the ‘books’ in breakout rooms,
and the ‘books’ share their stories, and the ‘readers’ can ask questions and
together they engage in a conversation.
- The event is 10-12 on 22nd May
- There will be up to 3 breakout room
opportunities, and 3 times of prayer all together (we will be engaging with 3
different styles of discernment prayer)
-
If people only want to ‘read’ one book, they can visit that book 3 times, or
they can head off after they have ‘read’ the book. It is very flexible.
