A five session course to revitalise communities and their mission. Includes a recommended course book. Ideal for parish teams and small groups in both a Catholic and an Anglican setting.

-
Building Welcoming Communities

Growing in Faith Together

Renewed in the Holy Spirit
-
Caring for God's Creation
-
Evangelising with Love & Action
Includes beautiful on-location filming from Lindisfarne, Iona and St. David's. Presented by David Payne with in-depth interviews from Celtic experts such as Canon Michael Mitton (Derby), Dr. Carmody Grey (Durham) and Ronan & Joanne Johnston (Dublin).
The course recommended book is 'Restoring the Woven Cord' by Michael Mitton - an inspirational and easy-to-read book which takes 15 leading figures from our Celtic past and shares something of their fascinating stories. These are available from goodnewsbooks.co.uk
