This day is for anyone engaged with, training for or interested in Lay Ministry.

We will gather from across the South-East and London to be resourced and inspired by a great time of lay people, each one currently involved in ministry and sharing out of their own experience and practice.  We are delighted to welcome this year’s key-note speaker: Mirjam Ngoy-Verhage

The day will explore topics such as discipleship, lay pastoral ministry and lay pioneer ministry, including time for discussion, reflection and questions.

Not to be missed!
