New Materials for Ascension and Pentecost
These materials are now on the site with a few more items due to appear to help you plan ahead for Ascension and Pentecost. Keep looking out for some new and interesting ideas. New materials for summer use should also be there during May. All the resources can be accessed by going to the Vision4Life website at www.vision4life.org.uk

The Windermere Centre 2010 Programme
I have just spent the weekend re-vamping and updating the Centre website with the 2010 Programme details. If you click on the Programme 2010 page in the navigation bar, you’ll be able to use a special new feature: you can read the programme and the brochures as a booklet online. It’s much more convenient than having to scroll through a document!
Please look through the Programme and see if there’s anything that would benefit you or your Church. You’ll see details of courses related specifically to Vision4Life, as well as others. Some of those are geared towards the Year of Prayer; others anticipate and prepare you for the Year of Evangelism.
If you’re thinking about establishing a Church website, look at what iChurch has to offer. If you want to stay up to date with news from the site, use the subscription button in the sidebar.
We spend a great deal of time (and money!) putting together courses that will resource you and your Church in mission. Please use the Centre; after all, it’s your place! So see what 2010 has got to offer ... and please, spread the word!
With every best wish

Click here for accompanying Trustee Handouts The Handouts were for Synod Exec and are more by way of "further reading" material more relevant to Board-driven Trust bodies so may be of interest more to, say, separate registered charities running community centres within church premises and for those who would like to explore Trusteeship more deeply:
• Easy self assessment for Boards to get you started
• Checklists for future action/discussion
• Trustee sample person specifications and officer job descriptions
• “Governance Hub ” Publications
• Prime site/Publication Recommendations for further reading and research.
