A lot of churches in our diocese have lots of contacts with people who are not yet part of our church communities. They might come to toddler groups or lunch clubs. They may come to a baptism or funeral. They may come along to one of our seasonal services like Christmas or Remembrance.
Part of us introducing people into a life of faith is about giving people opportunities to hear more about what it means to be a Christian, but also to have ways in which they can get to know other people in the church. Nurture courses are good ways in which we can do just that. The resources here are a few pointers to get you going if you have never done a nurture course before.
A simple guide to setting up a nurture course can be found here.
A guide to different existing courses can be found here.
You are also most welcome to join a short one hour training session on how to lead a small group as part of a nurture course. It is on Monday November 4, in the evening. Email barnabas@leeds.anglican.org for more information.
