Successful Local Preacher training day

The second annual District training day for local preachers and worship leaders was held on 26th April 2025 at Horncastle Methodist Church. Those participating found it very useful, in content, delivery and opportunity to meet and discuss with others. We were privileged to have two speakers from Connexion to lead our thoughts and insights on Methodist Way of Life, with application to leading of worship.

There are lots of resources available for Methodist Way of Life, including many booklets and coasters.

It is hoped that more people can be encouraged to participate next year as, amongst other things, this day is a useful part of Continuing Local Preacher Development. We have arranged a date: Saturday 25th April 2026, with support from Connexional personnel again. A theme and details will be announced early to encourage as many people as possible to attend.
