WORKERS IN THE VINEYARD FORMATION NIGHT

Pastoral Workers of the Parish

Many of the parishioners who contribute in some way to the functioning of our parish turned up for the “Workers in the Vinyard” evening last Wednesday. Despite the cold there was a good turn-up.

The evening started with everyone putting on a nametag and assembling in their Neighbourhood areas. After a bit of “getting to know you”, parishioners formed into groups depending on which of the various ministries they had volunteered for. Paul read an extract from the Epistles of St Paul and the groups then fell to the task of finding coordinators, working out of what the mission/task consisted, what was required to start or continue it, and what was required from the parish in the way of support.

Finally the sheets were collected and the evening concluded with a prayer.
