This programme is just one way of exploring Inspired, but different groups may well want to customise this for the particular group with which they are working. If you would like to receive this programme (or any of the programme handouts) in Word format, so that you can alter it, please contact the team at inspired@themothersunion.org If there’s any advice or help we can offer as you seek to draw up your own Inspired programme, then again, do please get in touch.
Facilitator’s notes, worship and handouts for this programme are also available to download (these appear below the following programme).
