Rites of Passage Course (Birmingham)
Lay worship leaders are often asked to "do" christenings / namings / baptisms, weddings and funerals. And it can be a daunting prospect, without any training. Let the Midland Unitarian Association of Lay Preachers and Service Leaders show you the way.
We are offering a four-part course, leading to a GA-recognised qualification – the Rites of Passage Foundation Step.

Session 2: Weddings: 7th March
led by Rev. Martin Whitell, District Minister, LDPA
Session 3: Funerals: 18th April

Session 4: Putting it all into practice: 16th May
led by Rev. Sue Woolley, District Minister, MUA
Where: Kingswood Meeting House, Worcs. B47 5DQ
Dates: Saturdays 8th February, 7th March, 18th April and 16th May 2020
Times: 10.00 a.m. to 4.15 p.m. (coffee/tea from 9.30 a.m.)
Total Cost: £55.00 (£16.00 in advance; £13.00 for each session)
This includes a £15 registration fee, covering both national & local registration (payable in advance). Or you can pay the whole amount up front. You must attend all four parts to get your certificate. Refreshments will be provided during the day, but please bring your own lunch.
Deadline for applications: Saturday 1st February 2019.
