The Brentwood Vicariate for Evangelisation has invited the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in the UK to run their one day Sharing Hope in Crisis seminar.

As a person who cares about our community we appreciate that you have many skills that assist and support others and make a positive difference to the lives of people. Because of our shared concern we invite you to this significant opportunity to further develop your knowledge, skills and experience.

This invaluable training opportunity will help prepare you to serve people in crisis, enhancing your existing ministry within your church and wider community.

Those with no previous training, as well as first responders, church leaders and others facing suffering people on a more regular basis should benefit from this seminar which includes:

-Developing personal and professional skills to enhance your service to others

- Biblical view of suffering

-Effects of trauma and the process of grief

-How to provide emotional and spiritual care

-What to say and what not to say when people grieve

-Learning about the Rapid Response Team ministry

There is no charge for the seminar but there will be opportunity to donate towards the costs.

Light refreshments are provided but please bring a packed lunch.
