Agenda for a
Joint Meeting of Local Preachers and Worship Leaders
Bedminster Methodist Church, British Rd, Bristol, BS3 3BW
MONDAY, 15th March 2010
In order to increase the time of fellowship, and run a ‘smarter’ meeting, the format has been changed.
7.30pm Coffee and fellowship
8.00pm Devotions
8.15pm Business (in two separate groups: Local Preachers and Worship Leaders)
8.45pm Discussions together in mixed small groups
9.25pm Final devotions
9.30pm Close of meeting
There will be no separate Training Meeting. Brief written reports on trainees, with recommendations, should be sent to the Secretary at least three days before the meeting.
Items of Any Other Business should be notified to the Chair and/or Secretary at least one week prior to the meeting.
There has been much talk of late regarding the length of the meetings and the lack of fellowship. You are therefore asked to consider whether you would like to continue with this format, revert to what we have been doing, or else suggest some other format. Let me have your thoughts. JH
Date of next meeting: 8 June 2010, Thornbury MC.
The December Meeting of the Local Preachers was held at Staple Hill. You can read the newest review document of Training by Revd David Deeks, as promised at the Meeting, if you click HERE
