the World with Christ
The weekend

Provisional programme
Carelinks in the
Moslem World; update – Charlie Klennert
The challenge of
forgiving Jesus commands us to forgive each other in order to be forgiven by God, (Matt 6:14-15) But this is a tall order, particularly for those who have suffered severely. The workshop will analyse the topic and seek small steps that we can take in following our Masters' example – Steve Gretton
The art of
Communication Jesus used specific methods to communicate. The Bible uses others. How should we communicate - with fellow believers, interested outsiders, the world at large and non-English speakers. Techniques for managing our messages more successfully will be considered – Charles Abel
Our Role in God’s
Salvation of Others – Peter Cresswell
Life with a Sense
of Mission Productive service of the Lord results from having our goals clear and harnessing our time and opportunities to those aims and objectives. Our lives slowly become characterized by this sense of mission, are focused rather than vague, and we are empowered to avoid being distracted.– Duncan Heaster
The Gospel in the
Workplace My work in helping asylum seekers to Christ and caring for them – Dzena Andersone
Come, be my
Follower A brief review of the JW's organisation's beginning and how the Watchtower organisation keeps control of its members and the scriptures used. Then some of their doctrines to be aware of.– Peter Neate-Stidson
Formulating a
Pastoral Programme Pastoral care often happens in a quite haphazard way. Individuals make presentations or give exhorts on whatever interests them, which often results in a lack of co-ordinated program. The workshop will discuss what we can do about this – Anna Ryder
Breaking-of-Bread
on Sunday morning, exhortation – Robert
Wilkinson
Meals will be
provided for Friday supper, Saturday lunch and supper and Sunday lunch. In
order to keep cost down we shall be self-catering, so it is essential
that we know who is coming and when. We can’t accept walk-in attendance. Please
make bookings with Steve Gretton:-

A collection will
be taken to cover the cost of room hire, insurance and catering.
The
aim of the conference is to study together and discuss how we can best shine
the light of the Gospel in the present world. We will all have different ideas
so it is understood that everyone will respect each other's point of view so
that there will be a true spirit of love in the Lord.
Accommodation
is available in local hotels, details on the Carelinks web site: www.carelinks.net/doc/events
ACCOMMODATION
For accommodation we have found a local hotel, The White Hart at Ford, near
Chippenham.which has 11 double rooms, so if people share they can accommodate 22
(or 23 if 3 share the family room). The cost is £55 per room per night, ensuite
rooms inc full English Breakfast. It is a beautiful, quiet place and as good
value as we can expect round here. Also only 2 miles from Colerne. this is our
first recommendation. [Also has a very good restaurant if anyone needed it.]

Our second choice is The Crown at Giddea Hall, about a further mile down
the road. They could accommodate 16 in double or twin rooms - all ensuite. A
bit more expensive at £60 with Continental Breakfast and £5.50 extra for Full
English. Has a good restaurant if needed.

People are welcome to do their own thing, it's simply that Br Steve Gretton has
negotiated these rates for our group. However, it's not dependent on numbers.
If people go direct to the White Hart or the Crown, they'll probably get the
same rate, but we thought it would be nice to get a group together, if they'd
like, for extended fellowship.
