REPORTS

• Facilitator Enrichment: Mary, Nichola, Parth, Chris

When might we schedule a Zoom meeting for facilitators to share ideas & materials about shepherding prayer group members who have never attended an Intro Program. Sometime in May?

●      Parth: May doesn’t work. Mid-June or later is better for her.

●      Mary: Maybe in July or August? Or suggested we discuss this later in our meeting (see Events below).  Does CO have a training video for this topic? Suggested the Facilitator Enrichment Team research this potential. 

●      Nichola: We have the psychology and the theology arms of what we do within CP. We need to offer people something blended between the two.

●      Mary: There are videos on CONSD’s Youtube channel. And if you are signed in to CO as a volunteer, there is a page that includes training videos we’ve used before in our facilitator gatherings. You may need to ask CO what’s needed to sign in on their website as a volunteer. Mary will try to remember how it’s done and let us know.

●      Parth: She’s had new people who she meets with personally to orient them to CP, but more videos and knowledge contained within the Intro workshop would be helpful to have to share with such folks.
