Morning Prayer
Join us for a time of prayer, led by John Martin.
- Packing Hall (PH) 1 (Basecamp)
Seminar: School of Biblical Studies – Grasping God’s Masterpiece
Learning to rejoice in the Old Testament (Grateful for its realism)
When more reports of atrocities fill our TV screens, it can be overwhelming. It is painful to watch. Likewise, it is hard to be grateful for Old Testament accounts of horror and wickedness. Yet the Bible is not a Disney version of life. It is not afraid to describe evil in all its dimensions. How do stories such as Judges 19 build us up rather than just cause us sorrow?
Seminar: Grateful when we don’t feel grateful
Cultivating gratitude as a church
God’s people have a rich history of grumbling. We will explore why this is so deadly to a church family and how intentionally developing a heart of gratitude is the greatest way to protect a church from that danger.
Seminar: Grateful Christ has Commissioned Me
Natural Evangelism – The Practice of Praying, Caring and Sharing (The Practice of Caring for Evangelism)
The act of sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ is called evangelism.
Evangelism is the cry of Jesus as He weeps over lost people.
Evangelism is the whole work of the whole church for the whole age.
The Gospel is not something we come to church to hear, it is something we go from church to tell.
In our four sessions together we will learn how to be more intentional in personal evangelism and how praying, caring and sharing our faith can help others on their journey of faith to Christ.
Be assured it will be a lot of fun! Lots of therapeutic laughter!
Seminar: Knowing The Times: Christian Living in a Post-Christian Context
The Mission We Have
Having understood our current context, we can consider our mission as the church. We will turn to the teaching of Jesus and the apostles, and to the exilic experience of the Old Testament people of God, for help. The challenges we face are neither new or surprising, and we need a confident faith in the sovereignty and promises of God to overcome our disorientation and discouragement.

Deceitful Intention and Divine Intervention (Genesis 27:1-29)

Evening Celebration
Grateful and prayerful (Philippians 4:4-7)
We are an anxious generation; Paul in Philippians shows us how the antidote to anxiety is to ‘take it to the Lord in prayer’. Thanksgiving is a large part of that.
This session will be available for catch-up.
KU: Windows on the Word
Art of the Bible and the Bible as art. Join the KU team as we look at God’s Word through the lens of the creative arts. Taking a different Bible passage each evening, we’ll see how God’s Word has inspired artists and continues to speak through music, poetry and art. Expect live music, art, spoken word, interviews and Bible teaching from artists.
Lament: Psalm 13 and Exodus 32
Despite our efforts to work together there has been much to lament in recent years. With an eye to conflict in Europe and remembering loss through the pandemic we reflect on the Biblical theme of lament. As the Psalmist sang, ‘How long, Oh Lord? Will you forget me forever?’. Join Alastair Gordon, Ruth Naomi Floyd, Kaori Homma and special guests as they explore lament through the eyes of art, music and poetry.
