A bit of Chaplaincy on the Side, a webinar exploring part-time chaplaincy
Monday 5th December from 18:30 to 20:00
Tickets are free and available from Eventbrite here.
Part-time chaplaincy roles come in many shapes and sizes. They may be:
inherited as part of a church posting
be carried out as a distinct role separate from church ministry
a role held alongside secular employment
Whether you are working part-time as a chaplain, would be interested in doing so, or know someone who should consider doing so(!) this webinar will explore how a part-time chaplaincy role can complement, inspire and inform other roles and areas of work and look at some of the pathways to becoming a chaplain.
With input from
The Revd Canon Helen Cameron: Chair of the Methodist Northampton District and Moderator of the Free Church Group
Gary Hopkins: Methodist Ministry Development Officer for Chaplaincy
Suzanne Nockels: Congregational Church Minister and Chaplain at Sheffield Children’s Hospital
Tas Cooper, Quaker Chaplain at Oxford University and a freelance Spanish to English translator
Bob Wilson: Secretary for Prison Chaplaincy and Free Churches Faith Advisor and chaplain at HMP Wayland
Mark Newitt: Secretary for Healthcare Chaplaincy and part of the chaplaincy teams at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals and St Luke’s Hospice

The theme for this year is ‘You are not lost!’
This year’s readings are:
Jeremiah 4.11-12, 22-28
Psalm 14
Luke 15.1-10
1 Timothy 1.12-17
Although some of the resources will make reference to other passages, the main focus will be on Luke 15.1-10: the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin.
Education Sunday 2022 resources are available to download;
Pray for young people on A-level, BTEC and T-level results day
Pray for young people on A-level, BTEC and T-level results day
We ask you to pray for all the young people who have received results today, and to give thanks for their teachers, who have guided and supported them.
The Methodist Church has a prayer for young people receiving results, which you can find here.
You can find resources to help your church support those who are going to university, or young people who come to your community as students here.
Bookmark for Year 6 Children
We’ve produced a bookmark to remind children who are moving from primary to secondary school, that God is with them, and that you are praying for them.
You can download it here.

Getting Involved in FE Chaplaincy… The Centre for Chaplaincy in Education are hosting an online event which is aimed at anyone that wants to know more about FE chaplaincy, whether from a personal perspective, or as part of exploring what churches might be able to get involved in.
There's no commitment to do anything following the event - but if FE chaplaincy captures your interest, it might lead somewhere exciting. There are two opportunities to attend this event (each one will have the same content):
Monday 11th October, 7.30pm - 8.15pm
Thursday 14th October, 11.00am - 11.45am.
This event is a collaboration between the Methodist Church and West Midlands Churches' FE Council.
