The
Administrators & Directors of Central Jamaica Conference launched
the first in the series of Church Officers’ Training Sessions on
February 19, 2006. These sessions were convened in the parishes of
St. Catherine, Clarendon and Manchester and will run for three
consecutive Sundays. For the most part, the sessions (held on Feb.
19) were well supported with the Parish of Manchester boasting the
most in attendance.
In an ongoing effort to equip the officers and leaders of the
churches with information and the necessary skills required to
execute their duties the Administration has implemented a series of
programs disseminating information to facilitate the educational
growth of our membership.
The innovations were deliberately planned and implemented at
Leaders’ Counsel and parish-wide conventions held at the beginning
of the year.
Church Officers were taken through a series of presentations
highlighting their roles and responsibilities via handouts and
breakout sessions targeting the various departments such as Sabbath
School, Communication, Church Clerks, Stewardship, Family Life,
Health, Education, Youth, Community Service and others. It is hoped
that at the end of the training sessions Church Officers will have a
clear understanding of their duties and be ready to perform in the
manner that their services would be a blessing to the membership of
the church. |
