New Christian Communities Gatherings

New Christian Communities Gatherings

Leading or birthing a new Christian community can be a joyous but also exhausting and isolating experience. This morning is an opportunity for you to spend quality time with the growing network of fellow pioneers following similar callings in other places across or affiliated to Sheffield Methodist District. Our new Christian communities gatherings are opportunities to share stories, compare what you are learning, discuss what support you need, and celebrate what God is doing. They are for anyone involved in leading (in any capacity), or preparing to lead, a new Christian community. Not just the "person in charge", if you have one.

Our next gathering will be on the evening of Tuesday 21 May

Norwood Allotments, Parson Cross

Join us around the campfire for an evening of story sharing, outdoor worship, learning and food.

Our hosts for the evening will be Nick Waterfield and the team from Parson Cross Initiative. They will share stories of their community food growing and other work across the Parson Cross estate.
Our guest speaker will be Adam Sanders, Mission Advisor to Birmingham Methodist District. Adam has been part of the formation of several pioneering expressions of church, including Street Banquet, Bread & Belief, Jazz Church and Inclusive Gathering Birmingham and is a member of the national Methodist steering group for the New Places for New People movement. Adam will introduce us to Spiral Dynamics: a powerful tool for understanding contrasting ways that people make sense of life and what this means for churches that aspire to relate to new people.
Plus plenty of time for you to share stories with familiar and new faces in a supportive environment.
