Life Away
From Home
a journey in 1 Peter
Stockton Baptist Church
8th February 2020
Doors open at 9:15am
If you take Jesus seriously, you may be thought of as odd, or a little quaint or extreme and sometimes as offensive - it can feel very lonely at times.
Together we will look at the letter of 1 Peter who wrote to encourage Christians in a hostile world to keep on following Jesus despite all the struggles they faced. Life away from our heavenly home is full of many ups and downs, Peter’s letter provides much needed practical advice as well as pointing us to the fantastic promises we have in Jesus.
We will have seminars for you to choose from to help us engage with our culture and to live out our lives for Christ.
Get the date in your diary and invite others. Bring a group from your church and have a day away from the usual Saturday chores. Let us encourage each other to live radically for Jesus while we wait for the day when we will see him face to face.
We are praying that God will use this day to equip us all to serve him more. We do hope you can join us! Looking forward to seeing you
in February!

SEMINARS
Secure in Singleness
Anne Witten
Singleness can come with many pressures but is often ignored or feared in our churches. Is it possible to be single and not experience loneliness?
Anne has worked through many issues regarding sexuality and singleness and now works part-time for Living Out.
Life in a Gender Confused World
Karen Soole
It used to be so simple, we all understood what gender was. Now whether we like it or not our traditional view is being challenged. But what is gender? How does it relate to our identity in Christ and understanding of God’s purposes? How does a clear understanding of gender equip us to speak of Christ to a gender-confused world?
Encouragement for Life
Rosy Redfearn
We are strengthened in Christ by reading his word. So what better thing can we do than read it with someone else?
Rosy is the student worker at Jesmond Parish Church and reads the Bible one to one with many women. She will show us how we can read the book of 1 Peter with someone else to help one another stand secure in Christ in an uncertain world.
