Eco-Spirituality and Discipleship Weekend

Eco-Spirituality and Discipleship Weekend
25/26 September 2010
Ringsfield Hall, Norfolk

As part of a series of environment-focussed projects in the Diocese of Chelmsford, we are looking to recruit THIRTY young adults and teenagers to come and learn more about what our Christian faith has to say about God's good creation and how to live what we believe about His love for the whole world.

Those who will grow into adulthood in this generation are facing the prospect of a natural environment reeling from shocks and devastation which have been visited on it by the last couple of generations. How can we learn to draw on our faith to live more wisely and lovingly and to see God's redeeming work extending even to the ends of the earth?

This weekend will feature seminars and talks, games and roleplays, prayer and singing; it will feature the beauty of walks in the countryside around Ringsfield Hall, good food and excellent company. Will it feature YOU? You are invited to grow as a Christian, called to be good news in your own environment!

All costs for this experience will be covered, so it is entirely FREE from your perspective. This is to include:
• coach travel to and from Ringsfield Hall from a number of pick-up points in east London and Essex;
• accommodation in comfy, shared rooms;
• full board, beautiful food for all our time away;
• ...and some other goodies!

Ages 13 - 25.
