Location |
Gray Center |
Description |
PURPOSE: Training enables the mentor to facilitate and guide the seminar group in all aspects of the program, including its administration. An initial purpose of Mentor Training is to discern with the first-time participant whether he or she has the inclination to become a mentor for the EFM program. This event meets SOTPC’s continuing training requirements for active mentors. 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 Students who have completed at least two years of EfM are eligible to receive basic training. Please pass on the registration forms if you know of someone interested in becoming a mentor or anyone seeking to gain a deeper understanding of the EfM program. If you already know that you will be attending training at an event other than Gray Center, please contact Dorothy Byrd. 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). 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.
