Mission Trade Fair 2012
The 'Mission Trade Fair' took place at St Nicholas Corfe Mullen on 24 November 2012 and featured the Revd Paul Cowley, Executive Director of Alpha for Prisons, and the Bishop of Sherborne, Dr Graham Kings. The Fair was billed as a stimulating opportunity to share tried, tested and proven ideas, to inspire Christians to develop new connections with their communities, families, and people in need. The 45 display stands and twelve workshops included topics such as ‘Credit Action’, ‘FoodBanks’, ‘Eco Church’ and ‘Poole Missional Communities'.
