Our ‘Leading your Church into Growth’ Ely Diocese conference is happening once again for 2024.
Looking ahead to our Leading your Church into Growth (LyCiG) online conference, which is happening at the end of April. Last weekend we held a LyCiG taster day, starting to explore the LyCiG resources, refreshing our knowledge and hearing testimony from parishes and individuals who took part last year.
With the input from the LyCiG team once again being delivered by Zoom, we encourage people from the same benefice to physically gather together around a screen to hear, watch and have in-person conversations. Learning developed over the years has shown that the conference is much more effective if there are more than one person from a benefice attending. It means that these people can make plans and decide next steps. To support this, the Diocese will cover the cost for the incumbent and two other people from the benefice to attend the conference. This could be a church warden, PCC member, ALM, LLM or someone who is passionate about seeing the church grow. Other members are of course welcome, at a charge of £40 pp to cover the cost of the resources, but please do have a conversation with Peter Leech if you would like to have more people attend but the cost would be prohibitive.
The dates and timings for this year's conference are as follows:
Friday 26 April 6:30-9:30pm
Saturday 27 April 9:00am-12:00pm and 1:00pm-3:00pm
Sunday 28 April 1:00pm-3:30pm
Leading your Church into Growth is for clergy and lay leaders from across church traditions who are looking for encouragement and equipping in leading their churches into growth. Growth is something we all want to see in our Churches! So let's discover together how we can develop as people and grow the kingdom of God.
