WL&P EXPLORE WEEKEND IN PERSON (Modules 1 and 5)

Group Learning is at the heart of the Worship: Leading & Preaching course for Local Preachers and Worship Leaders in the Methodist Church. Students belong to a Tutor Group in their circuit or district, but it is not always possible to meet with a wider group to talk through what you’ve learned and the questions that arise.

Explore Weekends provide that opportunity – the three Explore sessions for a complete module are provided over a weekend away in historic Colchester. The format is similar to the Explore Online events, but with the advantage of meeting together with others in person, facilitated by the Learning Network and

For this event, Explore sessions for modules 1 and 5 will be offered – you must choose between them below, as it’s not possible to do both in the same weekend.

Note that to join this weekend, you will need to (i) Be enrolled on the WLP course, (ii) To have completed the self-study Learn material for your chosen module, and (iii) Have a local Tutor and Mentor.

All existing Local Preachers and Worship Leaders from across the connexion are also welcome to attend on Saturday. There will be sessions on topics relevant to all those who lead worship, and to sample the Worship: Leading & Preaching material. Here’s a great opportunity to meet with others and do some continuing development.
