For Such a Time as This

 

The 2022 conference is back in person, with speaker Charlotte Cornes speaking to us from the book of Esther on Saturday 5th March.

We are delighted to have an exciting range of seminars for women across the age range, reflecting on the past couple of years and looking to how God might be using those experiences into the present and future.

The conference is held at St Brendan's Sixth Form College, Broomhill Road, Brislington, BS4 5RQ.

Booking open now.

Main Speaker: Charlotte Cornes

Charlotte Cornes lives in New Barnet in North London, where she has been the Women’s Worker at Lyonsdown Church for the last twelve years. Her work involves outreach in the community, as well as discipling women in the church family and training them as partners in gospel ministry. Given the multi-national London context, much of this work is with women who have English as a second language. She loves going for long walks, listening to live music, and any kind of dancing. Charlotte also enjoys football, cryptic crosswords and admits to playing the ukulele rather badly but enthusiastically!

We look forward to hearing Charlotte speaking from the book of Esther.

Seminars

Alongside the main talks there are two seminar slots during the day – one in the morning, one in the afternoon. Below are the options available this year – all are single standalone sessions. You will need to select your top 4 choices of seminar (or afternoon Time Out) at the time of booking. (If booking for others, you will need all their choices too!) We try to allocate your top 2 choices while spaces are available.

1) Pop goes the Idol?

It is often said that when a person doesn’t worship God, they don’t cease to worship, they just worship something else, something with the attributes of God, but a distortion, a lie. What do those around us worship? What entices our own hearts? What is the influence of popular culture on our affections and worldview?

2) Living Hope at a Time of Loss

Health or wealth, lockdown loneliness or pandemic pain; loss is all too real and never far away. To whom or what do we turn when we find ourselves or others facing loss? Let’s re-focus on the one who is our Living Hope.

3) Praying for the Lost: family and friends

Our desire is for our loved ones to know Christ. In this seminar we will explore ways that we can be effective, consistent, personal, visual and Biblical in praying for them.

4) Peace in Anxiety

Anxiety affects all of us at times. This seminar will help us to understand anxiety through a biblical lens of body and soul and show us how God draws close, bringing peace to anxious souls.

5) Reaching the Sporting World

Do you (or your family!) play, coach or enjoy sport? Are you a ‘touchline parent’? See how God can use your involvement in sport, big or small, to share the gospel with lost sportspeople!

6) Learning to Listen…again!

How well are we listening to one another? Has the experience of Covid/Zoom changed the way we listen? What part does listening play in evangelism ? How does God listen?

7) Trauma Awareness

Trauma affects many in our churches today. It is greatly misunderstood, meaning we further hurt the hurting. This seminar will help us to be trauma-aware, enabling us to help not harm.
Please note – this session may feel difficult or triggering for some

8) Extraordinary hospitality: More than tableware and traybakes

Hospitality is a significant way in which God can work through our lives to bring life to others. But for many of us, it can feel intimidating or overwhelming. In this seminar, we will explore how God has welcomed us - and how we can reflect his welcome to others without becoming exhausted and overburdened.

9) Transgender Teens

In recent years we have seen a rise in people, including teenagers, come out as transgender. Many of us may not know someone affected by this, and it can be hard to know where to go for information beyond media reports. A secondary school teacher gives her experiences and reflections on a Biblical response.

10) Pregnancy Loss – Hope in the Heartache

Around a quarter of a million women experience pregnancy loss every year in the UK. Can we navigate such overwhelming grief with the hope-filled details of scripture? And how might we, the Church, wisely love those affected?

11) Time Out (afternoon)

Spend some time in quiet reflection/prayer in designated areas or browsing the bookstall.
