There are six Ms of fruitfulness which formed part of the discussion when w e wer e all looking a t the developme nt of our Mission Action Plans. These ar e: M odelling godly char acter; M aking good w ork; M inis t ering gr ace & love; M oulding cultur e; M outhpiece f or truth & justice; M essenger of the gospel. W e ar e running six sessions , o n a f ortnightly basis, via Zoom and i n per son.
