Planning Group Agenda 4: Key Tasks

Having presented the draft case statement to the church leadership team (PCC/DCC), the Planning Group task is now to amend the case statement in the light of those discussions and to begin to put flesh on the bones of the programme. The main concern in this meeting is to ensure that the written literature of the communication strategy is in hand: the clergy letters are prepared and matched to a differentiated database.

By the end of this meeting the Planning Group need to have:

• Reviewed progress of any consultation with church leaders.
• Reviewed the drafts of the written literature (brochure, letters and response forms) that make up the communication strategy.
• Made a firm decision on whether parish visiting will form part of the programme and identified potential visitors.
• Agreed whether small groups are part of the interaction strategy.
• Agreed arrangements for children and young people.
• Finalised the preaching programme and any financial presentations that are planned.

For the next meeting

• Continue the process of designing the Giving in Grace programme.
• Pay particular attention to the written literature - the brochure, the clergy ask letter and the response forms.
