Methodist on Mission - exploring Discipleship and Scripture

Our next District Gathering will be on the theme of Methodist on Mission - exploring Discipleship and Scripture. 

The focus , following the feedback from previous gatherings, is aimed at exploring discipleship and scripture through a number of different lenses:

• Missional – What might God be inviting us to do?
• Pastoral – How does this connect with people's lived experience?
• Exegetical – What did this mean in its original context?
• Homiletical – How might we communicate this message today?
• Prayerful – What is God saying to me?
• Visual/Imaginative – What do we notice, imagine and wonder?

Our hope is that this will demonstrate the richness of Scripture and encourage participants to appreciate the different ways we can read the Bible together.

Join us for a day of learning, sharing and worship with a buffet lunch provided as we offer an opportunity to renew existing connections across our District and meet new people.

Within the District Gathering we will hold the life of Methodism across our district in prayer, renew our relationship with our wider Connexional church, and make any formal decisions required of us as a district – the work of the representative synod.

Registration will close on Thursday 3 September at 2pm. After this date, you are welcome to attend, but may be asked to bring your own lunch.

Broom Methodist Church has a reasonably sized car park, but it is helpful to know if you are planning to come by car so we can make sure there are enough space. Share lifts where possible can help with this and will also help to reduce our carbon footprint.
