Afternoon seminars:
James Morrison - Enjoying Jesus: A Deeper Dive
Someone once said that “There is no joy in this world like union with Christ. The more we can feel it, the happier we are.” In this seminar we will be taking a deeper dive into some of the theology lying underneath the main teaching sessions. And we will be using a gifted pastor from the 1600s called John Flavel to help us.
Roger Hitchings - Enjoying Jesus through a Purposeful Retirement
The idea of retirement evokes a variety of reactions; that’s because it is one of the big transition points in life. This seminar will look at five men in the Bible who delighted in the Lord and experienced similar transitions. They found it led them into a life of usefulness and meaning. They will help us as we respond to the transition points that come in our lives.
Richard Haddow - Enjoying Jesus when life feels like a treadmill
For many of us, life is full of routines, and perhaps we feel jaded and weary rather than excited and motivated. How can we enjoy Jesus in the midst of everyday life when we struggle to be joyful?
The remaining three seminars are being confirmed during the next few weeks ... please come back by 15th August for more info!
There will be a bookstall provided by 10ofThose.com
