Weddings, baptisms and funerals: Grasping the opportunity
Tom Pearson, Church of England, Life Events
Wednesday 16 October, 3pm, Room 2
We’ll be looking at the ministry and mission opportunities of weddings, baptisms and funerals in the Church of England, with the Life Events Diary to manage the administration.
In this seminar you will:
• Get an insight into the many opportunities Church of England churches have to build relationships with those who come to them for life event services
• Gain a better understanding of the ways that those who come to church for a life event service wish to be contacted, for how long – and about what
• Find out how the Life Events Diary, free software for every Church of England church, can assist with administration of event services, allowing churches to focus on ministry and mission
• Be informed how Church of England churches can record legal and personal data about those who come to them for life event services – safely and securely
• Walk away with a clear understanding of how engagement, relationship and follow up is so important to those who come to church for life event services – and why it’s also so important to your church
