2012 Olympics: More Than Gold

London 2012 Olympic Games - Athletics DesignImage via WikipediaThe 2012 Olympics offer some important opportunities for mission.  The Churches have been working together on this theme for some time.  Here are some details lifted from CTE News

More Than Gold is an initiative to enable the UK churches to engage with the 2012 Olympic Games. It aims to help thousands of churches to taste the excitement of reaching their community in fresh and ongoing ways in Jesus' name by:

  • Helping people catch the vision for the impact that can be made and the role they can play
  • Making connections between the many agencies and thousands of churches that can make it happen
  • Coordinating the production of the resources and action needed

Churches are invited to one of the nationwide briefing events taking place during October and November 2010. These 90 minute briefings give your church the opportunity to:
  • Hear how churches responded at past Games - from Atlanta to Beijing - through outreach, hospitality and service
  • Learn of the tested programmes and resources for all ages, to be available through More Than Gold
  • Identify the best way for your church to be involved - and dream a little of what could be done

  1. You need to contact 'More Than Gold' directly. Their contact details are on their website (the second link in the post). I have forwarded your message to them but it would most likely be best if you contacted them directly.
