Seminars
Morning seminar slot: 12-1pm
Be what you are! Living with hope - Dr Helen Roseavere
Dr Helen Roseavere was a missionary in the Congo through violent, turbulent times and through great personal suffering. How has her hope in Jesus motivated and encouraged her through very difficult times? An opportunity to learn from an experienced Christian how we can serve Jesus with our heavenly hope in view.
Good news for all. Reaching out to people with learning difficulties - Diane Barnett
Around a million people in the UK have a learning difficulty. How can we reach out with the love of Jesus to those who can’t engage with our usual forms of communication? For a number of years, Diane has been running a local church ministry to people with learning difficulties. What has she learnt?
Be what you are! Living with contentment - Liz Cox
We have more today than ever before yet so many of us remain discontented. Paul told the Philippians that he had “learned the secret of contentment”. But what is the secret? Wisdom from God’s word as we live in a world which keeps telling us we need “just a little more...”
Be what you are! Learning to forgive - Julia Marsden
“Forgive as the Lord forgave you” wrote Paul. We have received forgiveness through Christ yet we often find forgiving others so very difficult. Why is it so hard? What does it mean to forgive? How can we let God’s grace flow through us to the lives of those who wrong us?
Afternoon seminar slot: 2-3pm
Under Pressure - Jenny Charteris
Do you feel under pressure? Do you feel you are constantly trying to juggle many different responsibilities and always playing catch up? How should we manage life as women in today’s world? What does God’s word say to us as we face hectic schedules and seek to live our lives for him?
Good news for all. Reaching out to inner city communities - Jane Casey
How can we reach out with the gospel to people facing multiple social challenges? The area of Speke in Liverpool is one of the most disadvantaged communities in England. Jane with her husband Steve, has been involved in gospel ministry in Speke for the past ten years. What has she learnt?
Be what you are! Living with grace - Anna McCracken
We are saved entirely by God’s grace. We know that. Yet in daily living, how easy it is to slip back to trusting our own efforts to be good. How can we be freed to live trusting God’s grace? An opportunity to explore how God’s grace can truly transform us.
Reflecting on the glory of Christ and his Gospel - Kat Buckley and the band
Would you appreciate time to reflect in more depth on the great truths we are learning from Colossians? An opportunity to sing praise together, hear personal testimonies of God’s grace, ponder Bible truths and be led in prayer and thanksgiving.
