  Ministry Trainee
Padiham Parish is looking to appoint a Ministry Trainee to begin work in the Autumn 2010. The post will be for a year, or possibly two years if funding should be available. Trainees are often young adults thinking about going into full-time Christian ministry and wanting to gain some practical experience working in a local church setting. Or they might simply want to do a Gap Year serving God after university. We would expect the trainee already to have been involved in ministry in their home church. They must also be committed to learning more about gospel ministry and so one day a week the trainee will attend the North West Partnership Minstry Training Course run by Justin Mote at St Andrew's Leyland. To find out more about the course visit North West Partnership. There are many opportunities for ministry in Padiham Parish but in particular we would want the trainee to be involved in our children's and young people's work at both St Leonard's and St Margaret's. Full supervision, accommodation, course fees, expenses and some pocket money will be provided by the parish. For more information please contact Rev Mark Jones on 01282 772 442 or online.

The Bishop's Mission Action Plan Prayer

God of new beginnings
we pray that you
will transform your church
as you renew us by your love.
Give us vision for the journey
that we may travel light
and live increasingly by faith.
Inspire, enliven and empower us,
so that along the Way
we may be sustained by the life of Christ
in ourselves,
in one another
and in the world.
Amen.
