Welcome As we progress through the second half of 2016, which has so far proved to be a year of change and uncertainty, allow me to present a new and varied list of courses that I hope will encourage and refresh you.

Our passion is to see people encounter God in new ways and invest in their daily walk with Him, so whether your heart is for pastoral care, leading small groups, mentoring, or delving deeper into some of the less obvious passages of the Bible, we hope that some of the following courses will be instrumental for your spiritual growth.

I also hope that, wherever you are, many of you will be joining us in praying during our National Prayer Weekend coming up very soon (see below for more information).

In this season’s brochure we are offering several different courses around church development, such as Pastoring on the Fringe (page 11), Closing the Back Door (page 7), and Mobilising the Local Church for Growth (page 9). Jesus assures us that ‘the harvest is plentiful’ (Matt. 9:37), so let’s get ready for the harvest this autumn!

Come and enjoy our beautiful venues, make new friends, spend some quality time with God, and benefit from insightful teaching.

The Bible in a Day

The intriguing book of Ezekiel is not so much a book to be intellectually de-coded as imaginatively experienced. So join us and discover how Ezekiel, like all prophets, spoke more than he knew, addressing a dispirited people, and giving them hope of the recovery of the presence of God. Explore New Testament scripture, which has its roots in this strange prophetic writing, and see how Ezekiel’s words were momentously fulfilled.

Whether you are a mature Christian or fairly new to the faith and wondering how it all fits together, this course provides an accessible overview of the story, themes and priorities of the Bible. Come and examine how God’s Word works in our daily lives, and be inspired to discover its treasure for the rest of your life.
