Sometimes we all need a little recharge, don’t we? Or at least a top-up.
This year’s Convention 242 is POWERED UP. It’s a full day of study, sharing, listening and learning, as we remind ourselves of the pure source of unbelievable power that is ours to personally – and freely – tap into. God’s holy and heavenly power, delivered through the Holy Spirit, is all the fuel we need to shine brightly as effective, productive and impactful disciples. And as happy, free, and noticeably joyful Christians in our churches and in our communities and families. Sound good? Then here’s the plug... (gettit?): SATURDAY 23RD SEPTEMBER, AT LYMM HIGH SCHOOL, STARTING AT 10AM SHARP. Our main hall will be buzzing with ministry from Jon Stanley and Andy Seddon, and a praise band in full flow. A connected crèche room will be available for preschoolers, with separate programmes for primary school kids and teens. And throughout the day there’s a range of seminars and workshops on four main themes to help us reconnect and recharge together. Powered up... to share. Sharing God's Word as gospel and for teaching. Let’s learn together about being more effective in the different ways we can share what God has revealed to us. Powered up... to care. Starting with the great caring example we have in the character of our Lord Jesus, we’ll look at the personal and practical work that is essential in helping a Church of God to function and grow as a loving church. Powered up... to lead. Both in our church lives and at home – from Overseers and Deacons, to Youth Leaders and Praise Leaders, to parents and role models – we need to discover His will, reflect on His example, and rely on His power. Powered up... to worship. Making the most of this natural response to God’s grace and mercy, the importance of preparing for the collective worship of the Remembrance, and what’s involved in "a full life of worship". As you can see, this is a day for everyone. A chance to reconnect, recharge and be revived. We look forward to seeing you there. And to being POWERED UP together! PS. As usual, lunch and delicious evening meal will be provided. Costs are: Adults = £13 Seniors (60+)/Students = £10 Kids 0-3yrs = £free, Kids 4-15yrs = £7 (1st child), £5 (2nd), £3 (3rd), £free (4th etc)... A bit complicated but hopefully very fair! |
