STEP OUT SUMMER CONFERENCES 2009

From 25th to 31st July 2009 a group of about 30 adults and children from GPC went to the New Wine Summer Conference in Newark. Despite the less than ideal camping weather (it probably rained for about half the week!) everyone had a fantastic time. For some of us it was a life changing experience. Below is a summarised version of the highlights for some of the GPC people who were there, more will follow shortly:

“Making a choice to become a Christian; Adrian Plass - comedian who takes a wry look at religion and gently and appropriately encourages your faith and laughter; worship you feel deep into your soul e.g., Breathe by Andy Smith; community across GPC and with new people met; seeing the Children interact wonderfully and get good care and teaching in their sessions” Jason Ebbutt.

“Living together as a big family group & close community, sharing meals, childcare, friendship; always someone around to have a cup of tea and a chat with; my children making new friendships and fitting in so well with the others; the wonderful Empower sessions where the drama, talks and worship touched my heart in an unforgettable way”. Rachel Monie

“Late night chats round a lantern under a gazebo; Carrie & David Grant's inspirational talk..... how to make every day of your life count and live life in abundance; the excellent balance of the 'Empower' sessions..... great worship, superb actors, great comedian, and enormously powerful talks and testimonies.” Lisa Smith.

“I loved being together as a group and how people supported and helped each other – a real picture of heaven. Empower sessions were fabulous – but also v challenging!” Charlie Nobbs.
