A partnership between the Diocese of Llandaff and Church Army.

Prayer

Prayer sustains our human relationship with God and may involve words (formal or informal) or be silent. Prayer can involve adoration (‘I love you’), confession (‘sorry’), thanksgiving and supplication (‘please’).

Priest

‘Priest’ comes from the Greek word for ‘elder’. Priests in the Church in Wales are those authorised specifically to proclaim forgiveness of sins, preside at the Eucharist and bless God’s people, as well as other responsibilities.

Taking the Plunge

Taking the Plunge is a course encouraging people to look at the different ways they can serve in their church community.

It aims to help people to consider taking on roles and positions that are essential for a church community to run and grow. It will help people to look at their gifts and what God is asking them to do.

The 4-week course is delivered in hourly sessions through words, art and music.

Life Events

Life Events are a wonderful opportunity for the church to be engaged with and bless the community.

They are also a great opportunity to invite, welcome, and nurture the world into loving harmony with God through an intentional congregation. Life events can be a chance for us as a Christian community to be active in our faith by loving others, inviting them in, and making them feel welcome.

The Growth Enablers have been working hard to support clergy and congregations in making life events more of a 'team sport' and less about an overwhelmed priest trying to juggle several parishes.

A full range of resources are available for download, but for best results book in time with a Growth Enabler to support you in putting the pieces together.

The charts below are designed to support you by efficiently connecting the dots between resources, dates, time, people (the public), and helpers/Lay Leaders. This chart will be best complimented by reading the book "Mission and Ministry at Life Events: Questions and Ideas for Churches".

Currently the boxes are filled with examples to clarify the purpose. After a conversation with a Growth Enabler about what is available, input the appropriate information for all fields.

This tool will be helpful to bring all the pieces together, but it will be even more helpful as a guide for ongoing engagement. (When printing, be sure to print in Landscape.)
