A Kirk Session Away Day is simply what the name suggests, a day or part of a day (or even a weekend!) where a Kirk Session takes time out together in another venue to focus on areas of leadership and congregational life.
Away Days work equally well for congregational leadership teams, including Sunday School leaders, choir members, youth organisation volunteers, Presbyterian Women and other key leaders. They can also be helpful for congregational staff teams or even Presbyteries. Whatever the setting, taking time away from regular meetings allows space for deeper conversation, creative thinking and spiritual reflection.
A downloadable guide to planning and running a Kirk Session Away Day is available below and includes practical advice to help you make the most of your time together.
