Church Anniversary Weekend - Friday 6th to Sunday 8th February 2009
To celebrate the church anniversary in 2009 we thought about arranging a Church Weekend Away. However, with the new hall promising to be ready and all the facilities and space on hand it seemed a good idea to use them, so we are planning a Church Weekend At Home! We are giving advance notice of these plans in the hope that as many people as possible will put the dates in their diaries and keep them free. As we are staying at home we hope everyone will feel able to take part in this event. As well as having our own facilities, we are privileged to have within our midst a talented theologian and speaker who has agreed to lead the teaching during the weekend - Dr Justin Thacker will take us on a walk through the Bible helping us to grasp the timescales of God's story, the Faithfulness of God throughout time, the good news of Jesus and how that all fits together and is relevant for our lives today. What happened during the Exodus? What sort of King was Jehoshaphat? Where does Esther fit in? What was the Exile all about? How does Jesus fit in with the Old Testament? What about the end times? And much, much more ... The weekend will begin on the evening of Friday 6th February 2009 and will include teaching, worship, discussion, question & answer sessions, creative and interactive opportunities, children's and youth work and lots of fellowship. We will also eat together and enjoy a social event during the weekend and the Sunday services will form part of the event. Further details will be available nearer the time but for now please do keep these dates free, there will be something for everyone to enjoy and take part in.
