The focussed theme for the day is ‘Dementia awareness and support in parishes’ which will be facilitated by Janet Hardacre, a Pastoral ALM and specialist nurse from Brighton who has written a book on the subject drawn from her professional experience, so you will be in good hands.
The day will be hosted by Revd Beverley Miles and will begin with prayer. Then there will be some time to encourage each other by sharing reflections and questions about pastoral ministry before Janet introduces the theme of the day. Please bring your packed lunch but tea/coffee and ‘treats’ will be supplied. The church is a 5-minute walk from the beach, so you could enjoy a walk at lunchtime if you felt so inspired.
There is no set charge for the day, although donations towards refreshments/heating would be appreciated. Also, Janet may have copies of her book on sale if you wish to buy a copy!
