“What can we do, when it feels like we’ve got very little?”
This is a question that is entangled with pressures and anxieties that can often feel overwhelming. However, what if we shift our focus, from what we’re lacking to what might be waiting in abundance in our churches and neighbourhoods, for us to discover?
Come and help shift our perspective on church, community and mission at an all-day gathering for church teams ministering in Estates Churches and Low-Income Communities across the Diocese of Lincoln. Led by Rev. Al Barrett and Paul Wright, the day includes stories and conversation, theological reflection and practical tools, and will send you away with the beginnings of a ‘discovery plan’ for your local church’s engagement with your neighbourhoods.
Revd Samantha Parsons Vicar of Harrowby with Londonthorpe says “Having experienced this training myself, I can honestly say it has made a huge impact on my ministry and I pray it will be the same for you.”
The training day is for people, lay and ordained, who minister in Estate Churches and Low-Income Communities and form part of this network across the diocese. While everyone is warmly welcome to this day, its best to come as a group or team of between two and five local church members and/or neighbouring churches – as you’ll be invited to think together about your parish/neighbourhood during the day.
