September saw two exciting milestones for the Calling
Young Disciples Project. The Mission Enabler Team
increased to five as James Oliver and Amy Stokes began
working in their host parishes and the Calling Young Disciples Learning Community
facilitated by CPAS began. Each host parish sent a small group to participate in the
Learning Community which will meet twice a year for the next three years. The intention
is for this to be a place to share our learning, to reflect together and to set actions
in place that will help the work initiated by each Mission Enabler during their year’s
placement to be more firmly embedded and sustainable.
Please continue to pray for God’s guidance for the Calling Young Disciples Project.
For the Project Director Ruth Walker and the Mission Enablers: Anne Batchelor; Helen
Laird; Adam Legge; James Oliver and Amy Stokes that God would sustain them and fill
them with His Spirit of wisdom.
Please pray for all those who came from the host parishes to participate in the Learning
Community in September and for Pam Macnaughton from CPAS who led the group.
