The Mission Model workshops organised by HeartEdge share a particular mission initiative as well as telling the story of how the idea for the particular initiative was developed. The next three workshops in this series are:
Inspired to Follow Workshop - Thursday 14th February, 2.00pm, St Martin-in-the-Fields
How to explore the Christian faith using a more open-ended approach? How to engage a more visually-focused culture? ‘Inspired to Follow: Art and the Bible Story’ is one resource developed by St Martin-in-the-Fields.
The discipleship course uses fine art paintings from the National Gallery, a Biblical story and a short theological reflection to help people explore the Christian faith today. Learn about the genesis of ‘Inspired to Follow’ and discuss its use with Revd Jonathan Evens, St Martin-in-the-Fields.
This is an opportunity to experience one of the sessions of ‘Inspired to Follow’ and to learn how to make the most of the resource. This has been scheduled with those planning to use the resource during Lent in mind, as we know that many of you have used the resource for Lent Courses previously.
The workshop runs from 2.00-4.30pm, in the Austen Williams Room, at St Martin’s. It will be led by Jonathan Evens, who is experienced in delivering the resource. The workshop is being offered by the HeartEdge network, and is free to HeartEdge members. If you’re not yet a member of the Network, the cost is £10 per person. We are restricted to 24 participants, so do book soon.

Nazareth Community Workshop - Wednesday 27th February, 2.30pm, St Martin-in-the-Fields
The Nazareth Community was established at St Martin-in-the-Fields in March 2018, now with over fifty members, from the congregation and other churches.
The workshop will be led by Revd Richard Carter, and is an opportunity to learn about the life of the community, and to consider how it could be applied in your own contexts. The afternoon will mirror the Saturday morning sharing time, and will begin in the church.
The session will include: Welcome and introduction; Prayer & silence; Talk; Q&A; Refreshments; Small groups; and Close. There is the option to stay on for Bread for the World, at 6.30pm - a key component of the community’s worship.
Tickets are free for HeartEdge members and £10 for others. To register click here.

HeartEdge Workshop: Beach Hut Advent Calendar - Tuesday 19th March
The Beach Hut Advent Calendar was created in Brighton in 2008 to encourage people to connect with the Christian roots of Advent and explore spirituality through creativity. The workshop will reveal the journey of the Beach huts and some of the stories from the last 11 years, and will consider what can be transferred to your own setting.
The scheme was initiated, devised and curated by Beyond which was born in Brighton with a mission to create arts events, which inspire people to connect with Christianity.
Since then 264 art installations have been created by beach hut owners, professional artists, schools, churches and other community groups, helping people to understand some of the themes of advent and bringing light to the darkness of the Brighton and Hove seafront every night in December. This has inspired others to create their own versions of this mission event across the UK and internationally.
The workshop will give insight into the development of the Advent Calendar and explore principles which can be applied to your own setting.
Details: Led by Revd Martin Poole, of St Luke’s Prestonville, Brighton, and Revd Jonathan Evens, of the HeartEdge network.
2-4:30pm, Tuesday 19th March 2019
Austen William Room, 6 St Martin’s Lane, St Martin-in-the-Fields, London, WC2N 4JH
Tickets are free to HeartEdge members, £10 otherwise, at: https://tickets.myiknowchurch.co.uk/gb/ODYyLTEw/t
