Update #60 April 2016

As promised, we are pleased to share with you some upcoming opportunities to join us in Chippenham. We’re excited about the coming months and would love to see you! As always though, if you can’t make it to Chippenham we’d love to be invited to wherever you are.
So grab your diary…

A short seminar-style session, with plenty of discussion and refreshments! Cor Deo Bitesize is free of charge, but there will be an opportunity to contribute to Cor Deo.

Saturday April 23rd, 10am – 12pm
Why 4 Gospels?
Why do we have four Gospels?  Wouldn’t one be enough? Should we just blend them?  A simple and engaging explanation of why Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are all important and a source of blessing for us.

Wednesday June 15th, 7.30pm – 9pm
Why Do I Still Struggle With Sin?
The good news of Christianity includes Jesus paying for our sin and bringing transformation in our lives, so why do we still struggle with sin? How do Christians teach us to overcome sin? Is there a way that works?

Cor Deo Preaching Seminar
Saturday June 18th, 9.30am – 5pm
This is a one-day seminar for people who preach or are thinking about it. How should we think about preaching? What does it mean to preach Christ? What is the process for preparing a message?
The Cor Deo Preaching day has a suggested donation of £30, including lunch!
(There is an optional follow up preaching day for participants on Saturday 9th July)

‘Focus’ Seminars
As part of ‘Cor Deo Plus’ we are hosting four days of seminars on a variety of subjects. These seminars involve pre-reading, perfect for anyone that wants to dig deeper. Each day has a suggested donation of £30, including lunch.Wednesday June 29th, 9.30am – 5pm
Jonathan Edwards
“Divine and Supernatural Light” is a single sermon window into the ministry of Jonathan Edwards. We will spend a day together pondering the insight of this one sermon on Edwards’ life and ministry, and its impact on ours.

Thursday June 30th – Friday July 1st, 9.30am – 5pm
Hosea
Two days together in Hosea. We can’t wait!

Saturday July 2nd
Big Bible Overview, 9.30am – 5pm
How did we get the Bible, what is in it, and what is the big story. Let’s enjoy God’s Word together with a bird’s-eye view!

Cor Deo Intensive
Tuesday August 16th – Friday August 19th
9.30am – 4.30pm
In this week together we will explore the wonder of the Gospel, and what it looks like to be a Christian.  What are the basic contours of Christianity – not only in terms of what we believe, but also in respect to versions presented to us. How can we enjoy a vibrant relationship with God today?  One week together, but a lifetime of implications to explore and enjoy. We have reserved some spaces for teachers and students. This week has a suggested donation of £150, including lunch each day.

So there we have it! If you’re interested in coming to any (or all!) of these events, or if you have any questions, please email us.
If you need somewhere to stay in Chippenham let us know.Please keep praying for Cor Deo – Dave and Erin and the kids are still in Michigan waiting on the Lord for their next step.

Thank you for all your support of us!

For the team,
Mike
