I enjoyed being back again at ETC Cafe with the Northern Cluster of Salvation Army officers for our July gathering. This month the focus was on team formation and leadership skills. Accompanying notes follow in this post.

It was wonderful to spend another 3 days with the Facilitators of John Mark Ministries Pastors Renewal Retreats in Victoria this week. Training included facilitation skills, work on conflict and anxiety and handling pastoral situations within the retreat environment.
Training manul notes are on our Facilitators website:
Pastors Renewal Retreats – Victoria
Both our new Team B and the existing Team A met on Wednesday in Concord for Workshop 2 of the training program. We covered the facilitation processes of the first couple of weeks after a critical event. Notes are on our new Parish Recovery Site.
A number of people recently in churches I visit and in courses I teach have asked about praying for John Mark Ministries and our family. This is much appreciated. If you would like to get our Prayer Notebook in order to pray, usually emailed in the first week of the month, please let me know at tim@johnmark.net.au
