Church Leaders’ Common Mission
Forum:
We held two of these events across the
year, the first one on zoom, and the
**----- End of picture text -----**
second one was in person. These are an opportunity for Christian Leaders to come together to pray, worship and plan joint action / mission for our town. 20-30 leaders joined us and developed plans to (1) invest time and financial resources in services for the young people of our town. This led to agreement to appoint a townwide pioneer youth worker. (2) to partner with a local primary school to establish a community centre in an economically deprived part of town. (3) Consider how we can share our resources with places who have less than us e.g Bradford. **Primary School Community Hub:** We worked with a local primary school to develop a Community Hub which serves families who live nearby, writing a proposal to the Academy Trustees to establish a vision for what was possible in the space. We liaised with churches and third sector partners to coordinate different groups to meet different needs and pulled together at timetable of proposed activity. There were many delays due to covid-related restrictions. By the end of 2021 a community grocery was running twice a week, with the hope of other activities commencing in 2022.
**Pioneer Youth Worker:** We worked with churches across town to agree the vision for this role and subsequent job description, governance structures and funding plan. The role was advertised across the summer, but we received no suitable applicants. At the close of 2021 the job was being advertised again.
## **Try Praying:**
The Hub was invited to join in with ‘Try praying across the Dales’. We were able to encourage churches in our town to display “Try Praying” outdoor banners & booklets and take part in the online prayer events. We provided social media resourcesto get the message out and help to make this a district wide initiative.Thirty churches across our
town took part in this project, booklets were taken and banners displayed. We heard stories of people passing by churches, eager to explore prayer and taking a booklet. **Scripture Union’s “It’s Your Move”:** We decided to run this course again because there were still a lot of restrictions around high school transition plans, creating anxiety among young people. 12 churches worked together to provide online and in person assemblies to 19 different primary schools. We also provided work booklets for all year 6 children. Of these, 37 children, going to 5 different high schools, joined a party on The Stray (Harrogate’s common green space) where they met other Year 6s who would be going to their new high school. They had a chance to play games, chat to older children already at their high school, and have a time of reflection and prayer together. There was also a follow up gathering in Sept. We’ve had lots of great feedback from parents via facebook and email, with some of them asking to get connected with new friends that they made on the night. **Light Shines:** During Covid, church leaders joined together to fill our local streets with Jesus’ light in what was a naturally dark and isolating time. People across the town registered to decorate a window in their home, church r office and to include the words from John 1:5. For a number of days, contributors switched on their lights to create a trail of light across the town. All houses or buildings taking part were plotted onto various trails and maps, and posted on our website and other social media platforms so that anyone could access and enjoy spotting the varied windows. We also encouraged people to pray for their street by providing editable prayer cards to send to neighbours.
**Digital Communication:** We have continued to invest in our brand communications. This has included ongoing development of our website, regular e-newsletter to our supporters, a social media plan and
developing our database.
