The Education & Communication Workgroup
Who are the ED/COMM?
The ED/COMM group currently consists of:
- Margaret Hagart
- Eileen Kirkpatrick - Co-Convenor
- Deirdre Lamont
- Pat Mcintyre - Co-Convenor
- Christine Taylor
- Linda Wilson
N.B. Our group would benefit from one or two new members. Pat and Eileen will hand over convenor-ship at the end of June, although they will continue as members of Edcom.
ED/COMM meet together once a month to discuss the various aspects of our responsibility which is concerned with Education and Communication.
Date of next meeting, TBA.
what's new with ED/COMM?
Welcome Pack
The group are looking at producing a 'Welcome Pack' for new members. Hopefully, this will include all information that is required to become conversant with the various workings of the church and identify the different folk involved.
EDUCATION
Elder-enabling
Barbara Leppard and Rev. Ian Sutherland arrange provision for adult and Elder training (now called Elder-enabling - emphasis on sharing and equipping) for churches in Dunfermline Presbytery. Barbara came along to our last session meeting and explained how we could benefit from various courses/workshops which are available now.
Workshops can be built around our needs.
COMMUNCATION
Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing.
Communication is BIG Because it is of the utmost importance in all areas of Church and Community life, it is all-encompassing, and overlaps with concerns regarding Mission, Education, Worship and Pastoral.
One of the ways in which we have, we hope, successfully provided a channel of communication between Church activities and the wider community in which we live is literally through a window in the local Post office/Shop. Thank you Jimmy
We are responsible too, for choosing suitable posters for the Church Notice-board, and for the setting-up of the Nativity Scene outside church at Christmas.
Our quarterly magazine, Village Link, is edited and its collation organized and carried out by members of Edcom. It is then delivered to each home in the Parish, and includes news of what's happening in the Church and in the Community. For more information about, and downloadable (Is that a word? - The Webmaster) copies of the Magazine, go to the Village Link Page.
ED/COMM do try to remember (tongue -in-cheek perhaps!) that:
The problem with communication... is the illusion that it has been accomplished. George Bernard Shaw
