Church Weekend Away

Large churches are faced with a problem: How does a big group of individuals from different backgrounds and different stages of life become the church that the Bible tells us to be? A Church where people are loved, supported and taught, where they could be described as "having the same love, being of full accord and of one mind" and where Christ is honoured as the head.

Humanly of course it’s impossible. We are reliant upon the Spirit of God to be at work within us both as individuals and corporately. However, God does not force his gifts upon us. He works in tandem with his people. In other words the church needs to proactively take action to build up the unity of His people!

The Church Weekend Away is an opportunity for us to worship God together, learn about Jesus Christ (with age appropriate sessions for children and youth) and grow into the Church family we want to become. We can get to know people who we may have seen in church but who we do not know by name. We can strengthen existing friendship, we can be built up in the glorious Gospel truths as the Bible is explained and discussed, we can take time out with our Bible and pray, and whilst all this is happening we can have fun too!

We hope that all Highfielders, both young and old will join us at the weekend away. We’ve tried to make it as accessible to as many people as possible, including an instalment payment plan and lots of different options for accommodation and catering.

The closing date for booking forms is 30th November 2013.  We hope to see you there!
