Church Council
At an extraordinary Church Council Meeting on 29 March 2015 it was agreed unanimously that the church should make a gift of £1,000 to the Vanuatu Disaster Appeal.
To all existing or potential worship leaders: You are invited to a Familiarisation
Day at Wonford Methodist Church, Exeter, 10.00-15.30 hours (10.00 coffee for
10.30 start – lunch provided). You need to book by 11 April 2015. The aim of
the course is to let you know about the new training pathways for worship
leaders and preachers in the Methodist Church and to describe the process,
roles and requirements of the new Worship Leading and Preaching course
which will begin nationwide from September.
You will have an opportunity to ask questions and seek answers; hear an
overview of the new training pathway; and develop an understanding of the
assessment process.
