Authorised Lay Ministers meet for annual conference

The feedback from those attending was so positive, here are just a few of the comments on what the ALMS will take away from the day:

“Fabulous day from start to finish. Trying different worship styles was fantastic and having the opportunity to meet ALMs on my doorstep who I might not of otherwise have met. The main thing that will stay with me is the quote ‘If you want to build a ship don’t drum up people to collect wood or don’t assign them tasks or work. But rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea’ – I will never forget these words – so powerful.”

“How wonderful it is to get together and worship together. Our deanery group suggested that we need to meet up more than once year hope we can.”

“Trust in God, I was spirituality refreshed “

“A sense of Community and fantastic worship. It was great!”

New ALMs complete their training in July and the conference provides a good opportunity to meet with others ahead of their authorisation service in September. Would you like to become an Authorised Lay Minister, more information is available here.
