Pastoral Mentoring Groups

Six sessions of collegial Bible study, worship, prayer, conversation, and teaching.

beginning Tuesday, January 24, 2017 at St. John, Cardington
$400 for 6 sessions (2 via Skype)

Sometimes ministry can be a lonely vocation...
Sometimes it feels as if some fresh ideas could be helpful...
Sometimes you wonder when you will have a place to study the
Scriptures and to pray with those who share your life-story...

If any of these sound familiar to you, then perhaps a Pastoral Mentoring Group could be helpful and uplifting for you.

Some of the topics for the direct teaching include, but are not limited to, those listed below. We’ll let the group choose our monthly topics as interest emerges.

  • Sermon Seminar
  • Making The Most Of Time
  • What's At The Center?
  • Leading From A Baptismal Center
  • A Primer On Parish Outreach And Mission
  • Doing More With Less
  • Training Lay Leaders
  • The Wonder Of Liturgical Planning
