About EQUIP at St Thomas'
EQUIP (formerly known at St Thomas' as "Spring School")
was previously held each year on two evenings each week over the four
weeks of September. In 2007 we changed the format to spread the training
opportunities throughout the year, offering courses in different formats
and at different times.
In 2010 we're continuing with our 2-Year Curriculum. As well as
offering a few courses in the normal format (with an "up-front"
speaker/teacher and course materials) we are offering other training in
the form of a special sermon series, "spots" in the Sunday services,
course material for Home Bible Study Groups, and an "EquipRead"
strand, which will encourage people to read a book correponding with one
of the training modules and participate in a discussion group.
Some of the training activites will be offered more than once, to give
people the opportunity to choose which date and time option suits them
best.
Core subjects which are not offered in 2010 will be covered in 2011.
(The core subjects offered in 2010 are planned to be offered again in
2012.)
EQUIP is for all members of St Thomas to help you in living
and serving as a Christian. All members are encouraged to think about
which courses would be most helpful to their own Christian life and service,
and to take advantage of these opportunities to learn and grow.
More details about the individual training opportunities will be available
nearer the time of each activity.
If you have any questions about the EQUIP 2010 training program, please
