The Diocesan Celebration of Lay Ministry welcomed three new Local Pastoral Ministers, 11 Local Worship Leaders, two Local Lay Leaders and a Local Pioneer Leaders.

These people have been in training for many months and the commissioning was the final step in this process. The lay ministers are now fully equipped, commissioned and able to serve in their local parishes and communities.

——————-

Sunday Plus is a course designed to train Local Worship Leaders to lead worship, not just on Sundays, but at any time. Content includes models of worship, planning services, prayer, reading out loud, ways in which worship spaces can be use relatively and more.

There is a course at Lanlivery Church, near Lostwithiel, (just off the A390) will start on Thursday 6 September at 7.30pm, facilitated by Ellen McConnell and the other at All Saints Church, Highertown, Truro starting on Monday 10 September at 7 pm, facilitated by Revd Deb Grigg.

These will be the only two Sunday Plus courses running this autumn. There may be some flexibility with timings and maybe some dates once the course begins.

There will be a maximum of 10 people on each course and ideally a minimum of 6, hopefully with a participants from a wide variety of parishes.

Please contact Shelley on 01208 892811 or [email protected] as soon as possible with the names and contact details of potential participants, although official recommendation forms will be required as soon as can be completed.
