Explore Pioneer Ministry in Parish Settings in New Lent Course
Pioneer Ministry and how it can work in parish settings will be the focus of a new online Lent Course which starts on Thursday March 5.
Participants in the very successful Pioneer Gathering in Mullingar in November expressed a desire for online, accessible training to help parishes gain a further understanding of Pioneer Ministry.
Over four one hour sessions in Lent Godsend.intro will provide a practical resource for anyone who wants to explore Pioneer Ministry and how it can work locally within traditional parish settings. Participation is free but registration is required.
Designed for individuals and small groups from parishes, Godsend helps connect worship on Sunday with life on Monday. It offers guidance on loving others, making disciples, and nurturing new Christian initiatives that remain rooted in and connected to the life of a traditional parish.
Hosted by the Pioneer Leadership Team, alongside the Revd Dr Michael Moynagh, a nationally recognised speaker, pioneer leader and creator of the Godsend material, this course will share best practice not to be copied mechanically, but to inspire prayerful, creative and locally grounded outreach in your parish.
