Merry Christmas
May I take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas.
However you are spending this year I pray it will be happy and safe for you all.
I will be finishing for Christmas on Thursday 17th December and returning on 5th January and will not be accessing my emails in that time.
Church House will also be closed from Thursday 24th until 5th January so any queries will be responded to after that time.
See you in 2021,
Lydia Remick
Local Worship Leader Coordinator

Prayers and Intercessions Workshop
How do we lead other in prayer?
I will be offering the Prayers and Intercessions Workshop again on Wednesday 20th January 2021 - 11am-1pm
This interactive workshop for Local Worship Leaders will look at why we pray, the difference between private prayer, public prayer and intercession, and how we lead others in prayer.
We will look at different ways to pray, how to construct our own prayers for public worship, how to have confidence in leading prayer, and creative ways to help others pray.

For this months prayer would like to share a prayer which was used in the closing prayers of Sunday Plus on Tuesday night by one of the group who are training to me Local Worship Leaders in St Mylor.
It touched me greatly as we think of Jesus as the creator of the world, before and beyond time yet also human who knows us dearly.

Local Worship Leader Network meetings
A time to get together with other Local Worship Leaders.

 Help! It's the 'Talk Slot'
I will be offering a new Workshop in the New Year looking at different ways to deliver the 'talk slot'
Come and join us for a time to look at different ways to unpack the Word of God for our congregations.
Local Worship Leaders might not be authorised to preach but there is so much more we CAN do instead.
We will touch upon;
- How different people learn
- Where to find reflections and mediations
- How to run a discussion based talk
- Ways to share your own thoughts on a passage
- Activity based services
In line with Diocesan guidelines this workshop will include a break
This session is initially reserved for Local Worship Leaders.
Book here.
