Back by popular demand! The Channel Islands and Southampton District’s Lay Employees Gathering. This is a hybrid event taking place at a number of venues across the Districts on the 21st May.
If you are a lay employee in the Channel Islands or Southampton Districts be invited to our gathering on Thursday 21st May from10:00am-12:30pm!
We'll be meeting in a range of hubs across the Districts, simply choose which venue you would like to join when you book your ticket (Basingstoke, Dorset, Isle of White, Jersey, Portsmouth or Salisbury).
The theme for our time together is: "What are the hallmarks of an effective team?"
Those who are able are welcome to stay for lunch afterwards!
We do hope that all lay employees from Southampton and the Channel Islands will be able to join us as we celebrate their amazing contribution to our churches!
We appreciate that this is a different way of doing the lay employees gathering, and we we hope it will foster an even deeper sense of connection across our Districts. However, if travelling to join in-person creates a challenge for you, do let me know (devenishj@methodistchurch.org.uk), as we would not want any lay employees from our Districts to miss out on this excellent opportunity.
