  12. Some joys of the past year: - The Challenge to become MISSIONAL To change our thinking: - From COME to GO From growing the congregation to making disciples From being church centred to being Christ centred

  13. The Missional Process • Challenge to Fresh expression from our Archbishops • Conversation with Bishop Paul last August • Alan Hirsch via New Wine last May • Dialogue with Bob and Mary Hopkins in Aug/Nov • Links with other parishes exploring • St. Thomas Crookes St. Andrews Chorleywood St. Mark’s Haddock Holy Trinity Leicester St. George's Deal. Marple Parish Team. St Nic’s Nottingham, St. Saviour’s Meadows, St. Thomas Kirkby

  14. The Missional Process • Vision Values Vocabulary Vehicle • A steady process that might take 5 years • THIS IS JUST YEAR 1 • Teach and preach, study and process • Imagine and launch pilot projects • Support one another in our natural arenas of mission

  15. The Missional Process What difference does it make for us? • Scenario 1 everyone seeking to be more outwardly focussed • Scenario 2 many will wish to enter a missional prayer support partnership

  16. The Missional process • Scenario 3 full membership of a pilot project • The missional activity is their main focus • They may make it’s planning group their small group • They may lay down other things to make time • They remain part of the gathering • They remain accountable to the leader

  17. The Missional Process • Identify areas for missional projects and bring them for affirmation and support • Form prayer partnerships around mission. i.e. schools/education prayer group. Think about whether you want to make that a more articulate project and form a missional community around it.

  18. The Missional Process: Three examples in September/October 2013

  19. The Missional Process: How it might work for WOW Vicar + Team Accountability link to the gathering

  20. The Missional Process: More possible examples in the future

  21. The Missional Process • Missional communities and projects are not just extra ministries. The members do church as community and may/will need to release themselves from other things • They are designed to release and not burden. They are ‘lay leader’ imagined and driven but accountable to the gathering and its leadership • We are learning and will learn together how they will work in our setting

  22. Resourcing the vision • Mucking in • Signing up • Speaking up (for Him) • Using opportunities
