Church Weekend Away at
Harby Christian Centre
August 25th - 28th 2017
Everyone who comes regularly to the church is welcome to come to the annual weekend away.
It is a time to be together as God’s Family, to hear God’s Word and to relax and enjoy good things. As it is a low-budget weekend we all help out with daily chores. Part of our mission statement is that we aim to build up believers, fulfilling Jesus’ new commandment, to love one another. Harby Weekend is a great opportunity to grow in love together.
The Harby Centre is situated in the countryside near a canal; a real get away from the city. Facilities include: dormitories, camper’s toilet block, dining area, sports hall, adventure playground, sports field, meeting rooms.

Our guest speaker in 2017 was Ray Trainer and his theme was God’s Covenant with Abraham
1. Genesis 12
2. Genesis 15
3. Genesis 17
4. Genesis 22
“Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.” (Galatians 3:7-9)
