The PCC and Core Team have agreed to consult on a number of key priorities based on the results of the brainstorming exercise at the recent Annual Meeting. Please look at the list and let a PCC or Core Team member know your thoughts/suggestions. The Core Team will be considering the results of the consultation on 25th May.
The Core Team’s Initial Analysis of the Brainstorming Exercise at the APCM
The Core Team and the PCC examined the list produced by the Annual meeting and has suggested the topics below to go to consultation. The headings from our original list were also grouped into similar general categories to avoid too much duplication. Ideas that are already in train have, in general, been left off the lists below – they are already happening!
The headings agreed by the Core Team and PCC:
Evangelism
- Know our patch. Communication and use of a variety of media
- Organise lots of events to which people can be invited
- People working in the City to have a slot where they can say what they do
- Prayer Walking
- Preparation for evangelism (e.g. Mind the Gap, etc.)
- Run evangelism courses as appropriate and part of an outreach strategy
- Work with the elderly
Discipleship
- 20-30’s Group
- A variety of Bible Studies at different levels
- An Annual Commitment Day (e.g. money, time, life, etc.)
