HOLIDAY AT HOME – 15 & 16 and 21 & 23 August 2012
This event is specially planned for the retired.
Brochures and booking forms will be available in church
and in the Parish Centre from early June 2012. Please take them for yourself, and for
any relatives, friends and neighbours who might be interested.
If you haven't yet tried it,
do come along and join us in 2012! Early booking is recommended
as we soon get full.
Please pray for the speakers and all the preparations
and be thinking and praying about inviting friends to this popular
event.
If you lead a church group or belong to other groups in the local
community please tell them about Holiday at Home and encourage them to put the dates in their diaries.
The event takes place in the Parish Centre and Church
during two weeks in August, with an identical two-day programme
each week to cater for the large numbers who wish to attend. Speakers
and demonstrations cover a wide variety of topics, and over the
years have included travel experiences, art, music, gardening, solo
round-the-world flight and yacht-race, deaf awareness and fair-trade.
Each full day includes coffee on arrival, two sessions
in the morning, a hot lunch, one session in the afternoon and tea
before going home. Each morning starts with a Bible-based "Thought
for the Day" and on the second afternoon we hold a celebration
service in church for all our guests. We seek to share the gospel
of Jesus Christ with all who come, by welcoming them, caring for
them, speaking naturally of our own experiences of God' s love and
offering a stimulating and enjoyable time in good company.
All participants are invited to join us on Sunday 19 August 2012 for the 11am service and then to come along to other St Peter’s groups and activities in the Autumn to explore and develop their own faith. Two reunions the following February and March are centred on an 11am service, followed by lunch, and are always very popular..
