Resources and key info for Bay Group leaders

For the week commencing 28th April

Welcome to the Bay Group Leader’s Hub

This is a space where you can find all of the relevant information about what’s coming up in the life of Bay Church, key messages we’d love for you to convey to your Group, and resources that you may want to engage with in your Group!

If you have any suggestions, feedback or helpful thoughts, then I’m all ears! Just drop me an email: beth@bay.church

Updates

Prayer Ministry Training
We want to see this ministry grow, big time! If you have not yet completed Prayer Ministry Training, sign up for one of the sessions coming up. We’re working on some dates for the coming terms and will update you when we’ve got them! Invite people in your Group who you think would love to come!

Welcome Crew
Groups will now be invited to be the Welcome Crew in rotation, encouraging as many people in your Group as possible to come and be that warm welcome! This means: 

  • Letting your Group know which weeks you're on Welcome together

  • Arriving at 8.30am for prayers at The Nine, or 10.30am for prayer at The Eleven. Your Group is responsible for both services, but you’re welcome to encourage people to choose one if both is too much.

  • Signs outside welcoming from 8.45am, or 10.40am

  • Chocolates on the doors from 9am or 11am

Scarlett holds the rotas for Sundays so you can expect to hear from her about dates. Do let us know if there are any that work / don't work for you as leaders. For your Group’s dates, please see over there >>>
