The Estate we are In

 

This is your invitation to an event Together Lancashire is putting on at

The Salvation Army, Preston, PR1 7N

on Wednesday, March 19th 2014 from 10.00 to 3.30 pm.

The conference is about Christian Ministry and Engagement in parishes or circuits in Urban Priority Areas or where there are deprived Council / Social Housing Estates.

Our keynote speaker/facilitator will be Bishop Laurie Green of the National Estates Churches Network. We hope to draw together church leaders, church planters and community activists from across Lancashire. Some of them have already met together to share experiences and a number attended the conference Laurie and National Estates Churches Network held in Manchester in October.

We are planning for the day to be very interactive with lots of workshop groups and sharing of stories – leaving with a deeper understanding of how we can better support some of our most vulnerable communities. (The day should be of interest to clergy, community workers, church planters, activists or mission minded congregation members living or working in such neighbourhoods. The focus is likely to be on work in traditional mainly white working class areas rather than on multicultural inner cities, though we recognize the diversity of neighbourhoods even within a single parish.)
