Issues that raise concern
- Both Discipleship and Evangelism need a full time minister and direction to enable people joining us to develop and sustain their faith

- Benefice been increasingly involved with local community
- Malawi Link
- Mosfest (fète and concerts)
- Christmas Tree Festival
- Increased numbers at Social Events by people asking their neighbours
|
- Continue to build on these links
- Use Welcome leaflet
Issues that raise concern
- Not confident on what Evangelism is or how we do it
- Evangelism seem to be very reliant on clergy
|
| Hospitality and Pastoral Care |
- Good social events e.g. harvest Supper, Links Night, Love Festival
- Continued to strengthen our pastoral teams and identified areas if need e.g. elderly and bereaved
|
- How are we making our social events part of our mission?
- Pastoral scheme based on locality and development of Pastoral Contact Scheme
- Create Welcome parties for new people
Issues that raise concern
