COMMUNITY of FAITH MISSION GROUP: REPORT, 20/7/2011.

Combined Service 29th May.

Study workshops in conjunction with the 10 am service including breakfast. We felt this was a successful event and worth following up with something similar in the second half of the year. The theme pf the connection between faith, discipleship and life, was in keeping with this groups purpose. Presenters Gill Cann and Philip Hughs gave us good value. Reasonable numbers attended with a spread of age groups and services represented. We would in future , however, seek ways of increasing attendance even further We see study groups giving our community the opportunity to express, share and develop their faith journey. Follow up programs are of value, eg;those who attended the Alpha course are still meeting to carry on from that program, this is to be encouraged.

Review of Services.

As a review of all services was carried out two years ago, it was felt that only a review of 9.30 was needed. A sub group has been appointed to establish a timeline for this action and to formulate questions that might be addressed and will report to CFMG meeting in August.

Goals and Objectives and a New Name.

Some work is being done on considering our goals and purposes. The group needs to confirm its direction and focus for the future, so we might maximize opportunities for our community to develop and grow. The name of the group would reflect those objectives.

20th Anniversary of the Building.

It has been brought to our notice of this Anniversary. A suitable celebration will be put into place .

Colin King. (Convenor)
