Welcome I am thrilled to present you with a new and diverse range of courses, seminars and events for you to consider. In the coming months, you could come for a day of dynamic Bible teaching that focuses on the kingdom of God, or perhaps a day course that looks at being more aware of God’s presence. From learning new skills in preaching, to gaining insight into understanding depression, there is a wealth of opportunities to help you learn more about yourself, others, life and God. Whether you have attended a course at Waverley Abbey House or Pilgrim Hall before, may I encourage you to come and experience both the teaching and beautiful surroundings during this summer season. As well as introducing our courses, I am eager to let you know that, this September, you are most welcome to join in the second annual National Prayer Weekend.

Great Chapters of the Bible: Lamentations – Great is Your Faithfulness

New

Led by Philip Greenslade We can worship God in times of joy and in times of pain. Come and explore Lamentations, a book that tends to be neglected, yet is greatly significant in the way it encourages us to bring our pain and anguished questions into the presence of our Sovereign, loving and faithful God. Wed 4 May Waverley Abbey House £38.50 including lunch (9.30am – 3.30pm)

Bible Discovery Weekend: Vital Connections

New

Led by Philip Greenslade

‘ The course was

a profound day of reassurance, refocusing and encouragement.’

We were made to share life with others and the great significance of this is highlighted throughout the New Testament by the ‘one another’ phrases. Spoken by Jesus and the apostles, their words show us how we are ‘taught by God to love each other’ (1 Thess. 4:9). So come and explore these teachings and consider how we can put them into practice, both personally and together.
