In January-March we have implemented a project to empower congregations in visioning & planning. During a meeting with all presbytery clerks on 11-May-16, presbyteries reported their progress:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 90% of the congregations in the Synod have organised a special session during which they analysed their needs and linked the needs of the congregation with the projects initiated by the Synod under the Strategic plan. As a result of this many congregations have indicated that they have taken ownership of the Synod strategic planning projects.<\/li>\n
  2. 82% of the congregations have organised a training for committtee chairs during which the learned to develop and use a master time table for the congregations. Many congregations have commented that the master time table is helping them to plan well.<\/li>\n
  3. 55% of the congregations have organised a special session during which they did an in-depth analysis of the life & work of the congregations. Congregations are reporting that this in-depth analysis helps them to know the real life situation of the congregations.<\/li>\n
  4. 42% of the congregations have organised teaching and a special service to identify gifts and talents of all members. Congregations who have done the gift identification are reporting that members really feel appreciated through this programme<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Overall implementation of the visioning & planning workshops is at 67%.\u00a0All presbyteries have committed themselves to reach 100% by end of June.<\/p>\n

    We will organise a second round of trainings in the period July-August 2016. During this training we will offer a refresher course on the topics that were trained in Round 1 and we will also offer a module on strengthening presbyteries in supervision and monitoring of projects.<\/p>\n
