Lent Course

CTiS Lent Course:

It isn't very often that we get all the churches (5) in Stretford, it has been very enjoyable and I personally have enjoyed listening to other peoples experiences and understandings.

Sharing experiences about meeting God in our oridnary places, places of work, homes, meeting places.

Material "Meeting God in Ordinary Places"
Attendance;
All Saints Pancake Starter - 30
Sevenways - 27
St Anns - 26
Lutheran - 28
St Matthews - 25
All Saints - 25

I have had some feedback on the course in general;

+ives
Good material
Enjoyed the variety (different Churches, different point of views/experiences)
Lay led, not just what the priest/pastor thinks

-ives
Sometimes rushed
Knowledge, uncertain
Book was expensive

Suggestions for the future;
Group Leaders to be identified early and sessions in leading bible studies to be organised.
Sessions on topics for leaders before the course begins.
Same leaders but still at different churches
Clergy led

Something to think about - the attendance sheet could have been written prior to the course starting. How can we open the sessions up to enquirers and those people who are on the peripheral of our churches???? Lets try and be more creative next year.
