Christian
Magician Workshop and show
I am organising two events at Penkridge Methodist Church -
the first is for anyone who would like to learn how to perform
some magic as a tool for evangelism - no previous knowledge or
skill are needed. Professional Christian Magicians are
offering to run a workshop for ministers, lay workers, preachers,
evangelists, youth/familiy workers etc to learn how to
incorporate basic tricks and illusions into their talks and
sermons to make them truly memorable. It takes place on
Saturday 23rd October at 1.30pm at Penkridge Methodist Church.
There is a cost of £25 but this does include an evening
meal, materials to take away after the workshop and an full
evening performance.
For further details and booking, please use this link
(tickets must be booked in advance to ensure we have sufficient
resources available)

Schools
and Community Outreach Worker Vacancy - readvertised
Stafford Circuit - Berkswich Methodist Church -
Schools and Community Outreach Worker Opportunity
Berkswich Methodist Church wish to appoint a part time Schools
and Community Outreach Worker
* 20hrs per week
* £11.25 per hour
* Application deadline 19th November 2021
Berkswich Methodist Church has employed a Schools Worker over the
past 12 years and we wish to maintain and build on this work,
developing the relationship between the six primary schools with
whom we work and the church.
We are also looking to find new ways of taking church out of
the building and into the community so that people may understand
what a relationship with God can mean in their lives and come to
faith.
The Schools and Community Outreach worker will work in the
schools delivering assemblies, lunchtime Bible clubs, celebrating
the Christian festivals and being a Christian presence for both
staff and pupils. The outreach work in the community looks to
find new ways of being church in the community and having soft
conversations about faith with those unsure about stepping over
the threshold of the church building.
If you would like to have an informal chat about the position do
call Jean Harrison, Berkswich lay pastor on 01785 661263 and to
request an application form.

Support Fund
The above fund has been available to access for about 18 months
now and I would encourage more applicants to support the young

coming out of the pandemic I am sure Churches are looking at what
new activities they might be able to run and this fund may be
able to help. There is a ceiling of £500 and applications need to
made on the attached form
and emailed to Tim Lorimer @ lorimertim@yahoo.co.uk.
Some examples of activities we have supported are:
Kingswinford. Purchase of Lego sets for their Full of Spirits
Project
St John's Bloxwich. Support for School meals

Children
Stafford. Tablets to help in school work
Beckminster. Christingle Bags
Aldridge. Support for their ECO warriors project
