The Christian Apprentice

The Christian Apprentice course is a weekend residential course for girls who show leadership potential and their leaders. The course aims to encourage the girls in their faith, develop leadership skills and form new friendships. The course leader is Sharon Prior, who lectures on the Children’s and Youth Ministry course at Cliff College with Paul Wilcox. She is involved with the Sophia Network and Urban Saints, Sharon comes highly recommended.

The residential course will run from Friday 28th January till Sunday 30th January 2011. Transport, Food and equipment will be provided. The cost will be £100 per girl which includes a celebratory meal out at the end of the weekend.

It is intended that a female leader will attend with the girls from each church to mentor them during the weekend and after, for female leaders a contribution of £50 is asked to cover food and accommodation and travel, it is hoped that this will be a great time of fellowship and growth for leaders as well! It is not the intention that WASP will make any profit from the weekend, any surplus money will be returned.

Churches may wish to subsidise girls. In cases of hardship WASP would also be able to offer support. If you are unable to provide a female leader, WASP may also be able to support this.

We enclose a sample programme and a number of quotes from previous events.

We would like booking forms returned to Ashley at: Lindisfarne House, 4 Barbhourne Terrace, Worcester, WR1 3JS in order that final arrangements can be put into place.

Please prayerfully consider which girls would benefit from such a weekend and encourage them to join us. If you have any queries then please contact : zoesilvester@yahoo.co.uk
