Service Planning
Preaching Plan
Methodism is built upon its local lay preachers. These are ordinary people who have been through 'preacher training' and feel called to share God's Good News within the communities in which they live.
Four times a year a plan is produced which indicates which preachers will be taking which services at which churches.
