2027 SEMINARS
'Taming the tongue'
Speaker: Catherine Haddow
How carefully do we use our words? Are we aware of the enormous impact they have? God has so much to say about the power of our words, and yet they are often something we use casually and without much thought. This seminar will look beyond the outer behaviours of speaking and focus on our hearts from which all our words come.
When delight doesn't come easily
Speaker: Sarah Dargue
Do you know how many spiritual giants of the past struggled to delight in God's word, just like we do? Whether delight is something that feels unattainable, or something you long for, let history be your teacher in this seminar as we discover a road map for navigating difficulties, and cultivating delight in Scripture.
When life isn’t what we expect
Speaker: Jules Allcock
Infertility and miscarriage are experiences that can touch the deepest places of the human heart, raising hard questions about suffering, prayer, hope and the goodness of God. Do I have credible answers as to why God withholds good things from some of his children? How does God’s sovereignty bring comfort when life does not work out how we’d like? How can I come to a place of worship in a context of loss, pain or disappointment? How do I help others to do so also? This is an area of life that is often overlooked in churches due to embarrassment and can be too socially awkward to talk about among friends. This seminar will consider important truths at stake about God’s character, His sovereignty and His purposes for us, and help equip us to properly love and effectively disciple others.
Married to the Minister: The Good, the Bad and the Future
Speaker: Jane Gibbs
You're married to a man in Ministry. Was this what you expected? Is marriage how you expected it to be? What does your church/ministry expect of you? Every marriage is different, every ministry is different. Let's remind each other with what is good, and confront what is bad and encourage each other with the future that God has for us both in this life and the next. With a dive into Ephesians 5 and 2 Corinthians 4.
