Event Planning Form

Using the planning form

This form is intended to aid your planning for an event that forms part of the Pathways Mission weekend. It will also help your Deanery Coordinators to schedule events, ensuring we make the best use of the visiting team in your area over the course of the mission.

In many cases the leader of the visiting team will be coming to meet with the Deanery Coordinators during the spring. It will be really helpful if the Coordinators can see your initial event ideas so they can share them with the visiting team and start to think about how team members can best engage in different events. Each team will have two or three Bishops who will bring with them a small group of people with valuable mission experience.

Event planning process:

  • Discuss ideas for mission events in you church
  • Discuss these ideas with your Deanery Coordinators
  • Think about publicity for the event
  • Decide how you will follow-up the event
  • Fill in a form for each eventand share it with your Coordinators
  • Receive notification of visiting team members who will attend your event from the Coordinators

If you have any questions about this form or the planning process, please contact your Deanery Coordinators.
