Inspiring day for Synod Lay Preachers and Lay Leaders
On Saturday, 30th August, a Synod Lay Preachers and Lay Leaders of Worship event was held within the Scottish College and was attended by 10 Lay Preachers and Leaders of Worship.
The day included time for fellowship and a shared lunch, which was enjoyed by all.
The workshops were based on "A one sentence statement for planning sermons", and "Sermon openings and conclusions." Participants were also able to benefit from time to plan and practise sermon openings and conclusions and receive support and feedback on their work.
It was a very enjoyable day and participants were very grateful to Revd John McNeil Scott for leading their learning.
We look forward to further events in 2026.
Revd Derek McDonald, Synod of Scotland Lay Preaching Advocate
