Dear Bill,

May I take a moment of your time to explain how the Family Friendly Churches Trust can assist your District.

The trust can particularly help churches with the installation of IT equipment in Churches. I have been leading PowerPoint Courses for many years and can give solid advice on the purchasing and installation of projectors. The choice of projectors these days is very wide. I am very concerned that churches make good purchasing decisions and then make the best use of the equipment they have.

I am willing to run a day for Districts giving general purchasing advice for churches coupled with some basic teaching. If you are interested in hosting such a day then please do contact me.

I also run whole weekends for churches or circuits giving in depth training in the installation and use of data projection. This can be either before or after installation (though we prefer to do this before purchase). You can find out more at: http://www.familyfriendlychurches.org.uk/mmweekend.htm

I lead days and weekends for Districts, Circuits and Churches exploring ideas around becoming a Family Friendly Church. I have led a number these weekends around the connexion and they have had a great impact on churches. You can find out more at: http://www.familyfriendlychurchesorg.uk/ffweekend.htm

I can also come and speak to your synod (lay or ministerial) on either topic. For synods I only ask for travelling expenses for the day.

The trust also carries a range of resources, these can be seen at: http://www.familyfriendlychurches.org.uk/resource.htm  and I produce a monthly Newsletter which has now been running for over two years. These can be found at http://www.familyfriendlychurches.org.uk/newslett.htm and you can sign up to receive them monthly by email.

Every Blessing

Rev’d Dr Mike Bossingham

General Manager of the Family Friendly Churches Trust.
