Events: Encounter Weekend 2009

Starts: 1st May, 5:00pm
Ends: 3rd May, 5:00pm

1st -3rd May 09
The Encounter Weekend is about encountering God and experiencing his power in our lives. We’ve spent some time reworking Encounter this year so it will be quite different to previous years.

Encounter is a journey back to the foundational truths of our faith, the cross and the power of God to bring forgiveness and freedom to us.

Encounter is about being honest with ourselves and with God and letting him come into the areas of our lives that hold us back and rob us of living in freedom. It’s for anyone who wants to be touched afresh by God – whatever the reason.

The pre-Encounter evening is an essential part of the Encounter experience. This will be on the Wednesday 29th April at 7.30 at 64 Beacon Road.

When – We ask people to leave Loughborough at 6pm on the Friday 1st and we’ll get back to Loughborough at about 6pm on the Sunday. 3rd. It is the bank holiday weekend so you get a nice day off on the Monday!!
Where – The Quinta Centre, Shropshire (map and directions)
Cost - £45 students and unwaged, and £55 for everyone else.

To sign up please contact Lizzie Kember.

In case you still need a little persuading, here are a few quotes from those who went on previous weekends:

“I experienced God's love, grace and joy in ways I never thought possible. The most amazing point about it was its simplicity, there was no hype we just invited God to sort out our lives and focused on him.”

“Almost 3 weeks on and I still find myself saying, ‘The old way of life is not an option any more.’ I’ve had a life-changing encounter with the living God and I’m living in the good of it.”

“Encounter really opened the floodgates for the power of the Holy Spirit in my life. I was able to forgive myself and others for things that'd happened in the past, and am now looking forward to the future with real hope and excitement!”
