from Chester Diocese &
from Guildford Diocese &
Peterborough - Being a disciple at Work

The material on the Vocations Sunday web pages also contains much material that can also be used to promote discernment in the context of discipleship alongside its use with those considering possible callings to authorised ministries. The resources can now be easily accessed / recommended via the new URL www.vocationsunday.org . This material can be used at any time of year - though it is not too early to think about how your diocese might publicize material for the next Vocations Sunday - 29 April 2012

See also the information page which also contains links to various resources.

From Jonathon Walker - As a Reader in the Church of England, I have written a NEW course on prayer called Prayer Eleven for Seekers. The course is aimed at teaching individuals (or perhaps small groups) about prayer, and they can download the course for free from my web site www.prayereleven.org . If you think your congregation or others might be interested in this please could you put a notice in your church notice sheet (see web site) or forward this email to them. Regards Jonathan Walker

Music Group
We are very aware that many churches struggle to find an organist, keyboard player to lead worship and so Martin Barrett, the Music Co-ordinator at St Martins, Sherwood and their music group, would be willing to come to any churches in the 2 Deaneries either to help a church/worship group to learn some of the newer songs which are around at the moment or to lead a worship evening. This would be on a one-off basis but we feel that this is something where we would like to share our resources across the Deaneries. If interested please contact Martin Barrett on 9137092 or martin.barrett@ntlworld.com
