DESCRIPTION:Our upcoming Day Conference is an opportunity for us to get for a day\, to get to know one another better\, hear from God and be REFRESHED! \nReSource is an organisation working to encourage\, strengthen and equip local churches for Christ-centred ministry. ReSource has partnered with SMB for our Day Conference\, and one of their team members\, Rev. George Fisher\, will be teaching and ministering to us during the day. \nWhat can I expect? \nWe will meet from 10am\, starting with some pastries\, tea and coffee\, and will end at 4pm. After a time of worship we will hear where Rev David McDougall (our vicar) feels God is leading our church in this season. \nDuring the rest of the day there will be 3 input sessions and we will worship together in song. We will share lunch together and there will be times of ministry where we will be able to be prayed for\, pray for others\, and where we will ask God to fill us afresh and equip us\, as individuals and as a church community. \nWill children be able to attend? \nChildren are welcome to join us until after lunch time (ending 1:30pm). After this time we are working to provide a children’s programme offsite\, so that parents and carers are able to receive ministry. Details of this and whether it will be possible will be confirmed shortly. \nChildren only pay half price for a ticket\, which includes lunch. \nWho is Rev George Fisher? \nHello\, George Fisher here\, a Yorkshireman from Sheffield. Before being ordained in 1984 I was Head of RE in a large Comprehensive school near Rotherham. I served my curacy in Conisbrough (South Yorkshire) where we saw an amazing move of God in healing ministry and church growth. After eight years we moved to St Thomas’ Blackpool\, an Urban Priority Area parish\, where we experienced renewal and significant growth. In 2007 I became Lichfield Diocesan Director of Mission spending twelve years encouraging evangelism\, mission and growth throughout the churches of the diocese. A vital part of this was an emphasis on church welcome and I co-authored the Everybody Welcome course with Ven Bob Jackson. I was also Chair of the Diocesan Renewal Network and have had links with ARM/ReSource for over 30 years. In July 2019 I retired and with my wife Joan moved to Eastbourne to be nearer our family – daughter Ruth\, husband Tim\, and two grandsons – and am enjoying my hobbies of reading\, gardening but especially photography. \nMission\, discipleship and the work of the Holy Spirit are inextricably linked and having tasted what happens in churches where the Spirit brings life and it pours out into the local community\, I am excited to be part of ReSource’s vision of renewal and growth for all. \nAmended ticket price: \nOur tickets are now costed as follows: \nAdult ticket (12+): £10 pp \nChild ticket (3-11): £5 \nFamilies: only pay for the first child\, all additional children are free. Please book them as an ‘RSVP’. \nIMPORTANT: We wouldn’t want the cost of the tickets to exclude anyone from coming along! If you would like to come but aren’t able to purchase a ticket\, please email nicky.whitmore@stmarysbletchley.org\, we would love to have you.
