Great start to Form+

Form+ started on Monday 12 September where 10 enthusiastic people came together to start their exciting learning and discipleship journey.  This year we have :  Becky Overy-Owen, Mel Robinson, Tracy Watson-Brown, Stephen David, Simon Burnham-Slipper, Amanda Magotte, Nigel Harding, Susan Lockwood, Amanda Kiernon and Caroline Scott. A group photo will be updated shortly.

Four weeks has whizzed by and already we have had so much teaching :  Bible Basics, How we can trust the Bible, the Eucharist and other sacraments, S.H.A.P.E (our uniqueness), Why four gospel accounts and lots of afternoon discipleship teaching.  The group have gelled really well together with lots of small group discussion, sharing in a relaxed environment and a good dose of fun!

I feel very excited for all the form students, having experienced my first year of leading last year and listening to all the wonderful and well prepared teaching subjects.  On the welcome day, we invite all the students to call out subjects that are of interest to them and always endeavour to get a speaker for that subject over the course of the year.  That is the wonderful thing about Form;  it changes from year to year depending on the students and their passions and desires.  We do, of course, keep in some foundational subjects during the year, but apart from that we hear from the students and allow them to be involved in planning their learning adventure.
