OUR NEXT SERMON SERIES – DISCIPLESHIP 

We are fast approaching a really significant time in our church – to present and discuss our new Vision and Strategy for Discipleship in an 8-week sermon series.

Through this next series ‘Disciples making Disciples who make Disciples’ we want to give confidence to the church about Discipleship: how and what we provide - Discipleship Communities, Discipleship Courses, Serving Opportunities and Personal Spiritual Practices for everyone at every point of their journey with Jesus – from exploring Him to His becoming the most important relationship in our life.

Our Strategy is to:

• provide a clear path for spiritual growth. 
• provide Discipleship Communities, Courses and Opportunities to Serve appropriate to every stage of maturity.
• encourage every church member to develop and commit to Personal Spiritual Practices.
• enable every church member to identify where they presently are in their journey with Jesus so that they can choose appropriate steps for their continuing growth. 

What we will cover in the 8 weeks

• Discipleship Communities
• Discipleship Courses
• Catalysts for Growth
• New graphics
• Updated website
• New Terminology  

Our foundation is Scripture and every part of the Vision and Strategy and Sermon Series is based upon Scripture. During this series we would really like to give as much time as possible focusing on the graphics and charts and the overarching principles that are noted in the chosen Scriptures. In fact, the graphics are visual illustrations of the bible passages.
 
If you miss a sermon and would like to catch up on this vision for the church, please go to the members’ area on the website and listen to past sermons under ‘Sermons and Media’. 
 
Throughout the series we will be running an additional small group at St Mary’s on Mondays at 1.30pm and Tuesdays at 7.45pm.  If you are not currently part of a small group or if you would like to try something new, please come along.
