Open Conversations : Round 2!

Conversations about the future of our Church

Following the open conversations held around the Diocese at the start of the year, we are now planning a series of further opportunities to engage with the process as we look at how we can effectively resource a healthy and sustainable Church into the future. 

It will be a chance to hear more about the strategy for mission and ministry across the Diocese and think about how it might impact on your own church. Only by working together can we ensure that God's Kingdom continues to grow in Worcestershire and Dudley.

These meetings will be held online using Zoom, but will follow a similar format to the previous open conversations, with opportunities for people to contribute in small groups. To sign up for one of the conversations, please contact the training team with your preferred date on training@cofe-worcester.org.uk or 01905 732812, You will be sent the Zoom details ahead of the conversation. 

Conversations will take place on the following dates: 

• Tuesday 8 September: 3 to 5pm and from 6 to 8pm
• Friday 18 September: 10am to 12 noon
• Monday 21 September: 6 to 8pm
• Tuesday 22 September: 6 to 8pm
• Thursday 24 September: 6 pm to 8pm
