EfM Logo

PURPOSE:  To examine in depth the Common Lessons used in EfM, with particular attention to Lessons 3, 4, and 5. The event is designed to familiarize mentors with these lessons, demonstrate the centrality of the Common Lessons to the program, and increase the comfort of mentors in leading these lessons

The cost for the training is $225 which includes the workshop fee, room and meals (dinner Thursday through breakfast Saturday).  Registration begins at 1:00 PM Thursday with the workshop beginning at 2:00 PM.  The event concludes mid-day Saturday.  All events will be held in the cottages at Gray Center, Canton MS. 

Training Date                
July 10-12, 2008 - ^Formation (Common Lessons)

Under the new training requirements established by Sewanee in September 2006, all mentors must return to Basic training after three (3) consecutive non-Basic events (Formation or Alternate training). If you already know that you will be attending training at an event other than Gray Center, please contact Dorothy Byrd. 

Participants in each event will take turns leading worship opportunities; prayer books and hymnals are available.  If you think you might need other materials, such as Bibles or commentaries, you should bring them with you.  You should bring your copy of the Common Lessons and Supporting Materials as well as your Mentor Manual.  If you need these materials, please let me know when you register.

The weekends are intensive training sessions and presence for all 18 hours is required for certification.

Your efforts “in the trenches” with your groups are the backbone of the diocesan program.  Thank you for the work you have done and continue to do each year. I look forward to working with you as you carry on your ministry as mentors/co-mentors of EfM.
