SUMMARY:Open the Gospel Learning Community
DESCRIPTION:Do you sometimes read the Gospel for this coming Sunday and wonder what new perspective you might find? \n \nWould you value space to wrestle with the text with other\, faithful people? Could you benefit from help thinking through how to connect with all generations through your preaching? \nIf you sometimes feel isolated\, uninspired and like you’d benefit from a sounding board as you prepare to preach\, we are here for you! \nOpen the Gospel is an online learning community of preachers\, lay and ordained\, where each week on a Monday we will engage with the Gospel reading for the coming Sunday from different perspectives. \nIt is a space to listen and learn from one another and\, in the process\, create recorded resources that can be accessed at any time and used in services where a preacher is not available. \nTo join the conversation at 1pm please click here \n

SUMMARY:Thriving Church
DESCRIPTION:  \nWe have an exciting day coming up on 31 May at Brimscombe Mill\, engaging with the question I hear most often\, in myriad different ways; ‘how can we help our church thrive?’ \nWe will be exploring this with +Rachel in prayer\, with Carrie Myers [National lead on lay ministry] and with George Ling [author of Seven Sacred Spaces] as well as input from Grace Network and the Mission and Ministry Team. The whole day will be based around our Deaneries\, so that the thinking and learning we do can be relational and specific to context. Of course\, there will be delicious coffee and food from Long Table too! \n  \nThere are a handful of spaces left in a couple of our Deanery groups to be part of this significant day in the life of our Diocese. If you would be interested\, please contact Kate Stacey as soon as possible. \n  \n  \nKate Stacey Collaborative Lead: Life Long Learning\nCarrie Myers National Lead on Lay Ministry
