As part of Lancashire District's commitment to resource prayer throughout 2012, Inspire 6 will enable you to receive encouragement and training in different areas of prayer.

Adult stream:

The day will follow four headings:

- Come and Hear About -
- Come and Learn How to -
- Come and Experience -
- Come and Question -

After some opening worship, the adult stream starts with a keynote address from Rev Roy Searle. After this, and throughout the day, you will have the opportunity to attend 2 workshops on topics related to prayer.

Roy, our keynote speaker, is a Baptist minister and leader of the Northumbria Community. He is passionate about spirituality, soul-care, building community, mentoring, new monasticism ... and Middlesbrough football club!

Booking forms with payment are to be sent to Margaret Squire in the District Office (address on the booking form). We know that many of you block book as a church or circuit, so this form allows for that and also for individual bookings.

Once we have received your booking form and payment, we will send to you confirmation of receipt and information about how to choose and book your workshops in advance.

With so many workshops, they need to be booked in advance of the day. They are being booked on a first come first served basis and, like last year, this is happening electronically via this website: workshop booking site.

Please book your workshops as soon as possible, since once a workshop is full, you will no long be able to book or attend that workshop.

If you do not have internet access, we will happily book your workshops for you, just contact Margaret Squire in the District Office (01772 721527).

Youth stream:

Whether you find prayer easy, really hard, can't see the point of it or want to learn some more, the Youth Stream is for you.

A chance to play games, and worship with other young people from across the district, to be creative, discuss what prayer is and how we can get better at it.

This is a great opportunity to have an engaging and fun day separate from the Children's and Adult Streams.

The Youth Stream is aimed at those in secondary school and further education.

Children's Stream:

This year, Leo Roberts and a team from the URC will be leading the children's stream for Inspire 6, and will present the themes of the day to children of primary school age.

It's going to be a day packed full of songs, messy games, crafts and, oh yes, prayer!

Crèche:

For pre-schoolers, we'll be offering a free crèche with soft toys, books and games.

Lancashire district operates a Safeguarding policy, and all crèche leaders and helpers are CRB checked.
