On a classic sunny first day of spring, I met with the facilitators of Focus on Ministry retreats in Sydney at the Youthworks site. This year we covered Pastoral Care in Retreats, Mentoring Skills, Transitions in Ministry and Team Leadership. Workshop Notes have been updated to our team dropbox.

Great to catch up with the officers in the North West again this month at ETC. As part of the Growing Healthy Corps program we are working on Andy Stanley’s book “Communicating for a Change” – Reflections and Notes from this were generated in the discussion together.

It is quite an enjoyable assignment for a Tasmanian to be asked to work in Hervey Bay and Noosa Heads for a couple of weeks in the winter.
We are in the middle of the Northern Regional Conference in Hervey Bay this week. Notes are below.

I haven’t been back to the Wycliffe Centre at Kangaroo Ground for quite a few years, so its great to have three days here for the EPIC (Enabling Priests in Charge) training program for the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne. We are busy working on Conflict (once again). All notes and presentations have been placed in the EPIC dropbox.
