| 1. Worship a. Support for 4.30 after Caroline finishes – this group is important and needs to be nurtured. Suggested ministers should give more time to this group and any slack re other services to be filled by lay people – e.g., lay preachers, elders. a. Themes for each week’s services to be planned a term ahead, so that all services can deal with the same theme. Themes as suggested by Seasons of the Spirit seen to be a good starting point. a. Worship teams to be considered as a way for preparing for worship services – this would allow for added input. We need more thought as to how these would operate and who should be on them. a. The list of additional ministerial resources was tabled and corrected. (see Attachment 1) It was noted that many of the retired ministers can give limited support. It was noted that both Graham Lockhart and Graeme Pratt are available as lay preachers, and should be used more. a. Broadcast ministry to Beeac is much appreciated. 2. Small groups A list of existing groups was tabled (see Attachment 2). Where are the gaps? One possible gap is a group for people who are asking questions and need mutual support. Another gap is a class for people interested in Confirmation. Study group(s) for Advent 3. Leadership development Convenor is currently gathering information about lay preacher training – Coolamon College appears to have been subsumed by Parkin-Wesley College which has recently become Uniting College (South Australia). Information has been sought to clarify if Uniting College is offering lay preacher studies via distance education. 4. Events We want to plan a weekend event for 30 May 2009. This is a 5th Sunday. The theme would be worship. Possible program: Friday evening Music in Worship Saturday workshops for Creative Worship, Worship and Mission Sunday one combined 10.00am service with guest preacher followed by lunch and round-table discussion with the guest preacher. Friday and Saturday workshops could prepare material for the service on Sunday. 5. Other business Definition of “Faith Development”. A draft statement was tabled by Convenor (see FaithDevelopmentDefinitions). The 5 action points were seen to be very helpful. We need a little more polish regarding the opening and closing sentences – need to move away from “development” to include things like “nurture”, “growth”, “healing”, “wholeness”. 6. Next meeting – Thursday, 22 October 2009, at the Church (Vestry Office) |
