Dialogue around shared learning has been vital during this time. As we look to a transition out of lockdown and into what could be a more complex season ahead, we want to explore together what the shape of church and ministry might look like. A small group is already looking into the practicalities of everything involved in re-opening our buildings. Here we are asking, “What can we each see of what lies ahead and how might this inform the support and resourcing which may be required?"

We are inviting participants to take part in two conversations, scheduled 1-2 weeks apart. In the first part, we will consider some of the broader, big picture questions about what we can see and how we are responding.

Participants choose the conversation they want to take part in for the second session. We will strive to ensure that everyone is able to join in a conversation of their choosing from the following:

• Worship services
• Pastoral care
• Finance
• Mission
• Pioneering
• Children & young people
• Fellowship
• Governance / effective meetings

Groups will be limited in size to 9 participants plus a facilitator and you will be in the same group for both parts of the conversation. We hope to maximize the value and creativity of the conversations by gathering a wide diversity of people in each group.

Register your interest before 2 June.
