Five Diocesan Evangelists to be commissioned
On Friday, June 16 Bishop Harold will be commissioning five new Diocesan Evangelists in Mount Merrion Church.
The service starts at 7.30pm and everyone is welcome to attend.
The commissioning will be followed by a community barbeque.
The course – taken over a two–year period – involved distance learning, monthly meetings for study and worship and six weekends featuring specific themes in evangelism.
Opportunities for practical work – preaching, street outreach and door–to–door evangelism – were provided.
The students undertook a six–module accredited – through St. John’s, Nottingham – course which also included an exciting ‘Life of the Evangelist’ core unit. That is skills–based and built up through an evangelism placement, usually in their home church.
It takes a lot of hard work and commitment to complete this course and the passion and faith these evangelists have demonstrated in undertaking it is very encouraging for the wider church.
The next course will begin in January 2018. For more information on that, contact Andrew Brannigan on 07950 846621 or at andrew@downanddromore.org
