SUMMARY:EcoChurch Resourcing: EcoChurch drop-in with sustainable heating demo
DESCRIPTION:In this Eco-Church resourcing event\, with Matt Fulford (DAC sustainability advisor) and Cate Williams (Environmental Engagement Officer) are looking forward to you joining them to demonstrate different solutions they have used to achieve net zero and answer questions about technical aspects of reducing carbon usage in church buildings. \nThis is free of charge.  45 minutes sessions run from 3:30pm – 6:30pm and it would be useful to know how many people will be attending.  To book your place please click here. \nVenue: Holy Trinity\, Stroud is a carbon net zero building. Matt\, along with members of the local church project team\, will demonstrate the different solutions they have used in order to achieve this. In this building\, which is a 600 seater grade II listed building\, an old gas boiler has been replaced with a mix of under pew heating and a halo infrared heater\, both reducing carbon footprint and reducing the weekly bills by £100 to just £22. We hope that it will be a cold enough day to demonstrate how effective low carbon heating can be when designed well to fit the building. We will also be available for general conversation about sustainability and church buildings \nPlease arrive at any time and Cate will be around to chat\, but we are encouraging you to wait until your booked time to join Matt’s demonstrations. Please contact Cate if you have any questions before the session. \nWhile there is a focus in this drop-in on the ‘buildings’ heading of Eco-Church\, Cate will be around for more general conversation across the breadth of EcoChurch.  Conversation\, questions and celebrations\, across all five categories of EcoChurch will be very much welcomed. \n  \n \nThis session will be led by Cate Williams\, our Environmental Engagement Officer and Matt Fulford our DAC Sustainability Advisor.

SUMMARY:Preaching the Lectionary Gospel - a year with Luke
DESCRIPTION:At the start of Advent we will tip into year C – reflecting on\, studying and hearing from God through the Gospel according to Luke. As we follow the lectionary through the year\, we do so with the Anglican Communion\, many other denominations\, nations and people groups. It’s a wonderful thing! \nEach week another glimpse at the life and ministry of Christ\, treasures to ponder and wonder about. And before we begin\, here is a great opportunity to remind yourself\, or to study for the first time\, the whole narrative of Luke\, the context in which he was writing\, as he writes this\, his first contribution to our scriptures. \nOur colleagues from Cuddesdon\, Gloucester and Hereford Training will be leading us through this and it is promising to be a rich and inspiring time together. \nLed by: Revd Dr Richard Wyld\, Director\, Portsmouth Pathway Cuddesdon \nHaving taught on the Portsmouth Pathway for a couple of years before becoming Director in May 2020\, Richard joined the academic staff team based at Cuddesdon in July 2024. He teaches on a range of courses and areas of ministry\, though his main interest is with biblical studies\, hermeneutics\, and especially the New Testament. He trained for ordained ministry at Cranmer Hall\, and then paused ordination to study for a PhD in Durham\, looking at Christian hope as a framework for thinking about what is happening when we read scripture. He was ordained in 2013\, served his title in and around Sherborne in Dorset\, and was chaplain to the Bishop of Portsmouth from late 2017-2020.  Richard enjoys finding ways to make scripture and theology as accessible as possible to all\, and believes that everyone has a voice in the enterprise. He lives with a rescue dog\, enjoys walking and painting\, and is approximately one half of post-hardcore talk music duo\, ‘Rails\, Witnesses’. \nThis event will run on Monday 4 November starting at 7pm or Tuesday 5 November at 10am \nTo book your place on either of these events please click here.

SUMMARY:GoodWill Event
DESCRIPTION:Have you got questions about Wills\, Probate & Power of Attorneys? Have you got no idea how to plan or pay for a funeral? Concerned about the eco nature of your death? Want to know about ‘Swedish Death Cleaning’? Slightly concerned your cat might eat you if you die alone? (no seriously!) \nWe’ll tackle all this and more at our ‘GoodWill’ event. \nThey say that there are two things in life that are inevitable\, death and taxes. However\, it has been proven by large corporations and a smattering of celebrities and MPs that taxes can be avoided; death\, on the other hand\, is a 100% guarantee. Why\, then\, is it still such a taboo topic? \nAt this event you’ll hear from a funeral director\, a solicitor\, a death education specialist and others in the industry and you’ll be able to ask any questions you may have about anything from funeral planning to leaving a bequest to your church\, whatever you want to know\, we’ll have the answers. \nCome along for a surprisingly light and informative event\, we promise it won’t be weird! \nThis workshop will be running on three different dates in three different locations. Please choose the one that is most convenient to you. \nRefreshment will be included. \nClick here to book this event. \nLisa- Jayne Lewis – Stewardship and Giving Advisor \nLisa-Jayne helps church leaders to think about how they can preach and teach about money\, how churches can find ways to increase their income\, find grants and think about regular giving and  financial stewardship as part of our Christian discipleship.
