ARE YOU INTERESTED IN APPLYING TO JOIN THE YOUNG PEOPLE & CHURCH OF SCOTLAND WORKING GROUP?
At the General Assembly of 2017 the Mission & Discipleship Council was given the task of developing a new way of helping our young people to grow in their faith and be involved in decision making at all levels of the church. If adopted this would then succeed the National Youth Assembly from 2020 onwards.
Our Council is looking for 7 people, preferably in the 12 to 30 year old age bracket, who in addition to the 7 from our Council, will make up the group of 14. They will consult widely and develop the proposals which will then go to the General Assembly of 2019 for decision. Before that an interim report will be given to the General Assembly of 2018 to let them know our progress. Successful applicants must commit to a process that could last up to 3 years with a number of meetings throughout the year. The first meeting is Saturday 14th October; in Stirling. Expenses will be paid so please don’t let the issue of money put you off. The closing date for applications is 31st August. Application and reference forms are available from the church office. Norman Smith, Convenor of Mission & Discipleship Council
