Encounter Day
'Rooted in Holiness: slaves to righteousness' led by David Brewster

Healthy plants need healthy roots. Roots give stability, they take up the nutrients that are needed for growth, and they seek out hydration for the desert times.
To be healthy as Christians, we need to be rooted – searching out those things that will sustain us for the long haul, going deep into those things that will give us stability.
In this month's Encounter Day, David Brewster will be helping us to reflect on what it means to be rooted in holiness.
'The call to holiness for God’s people seems to have gone out of fashion. In the 21st Century we are told that we should be authentic, true to ourselves, that we should live as we like as long as we don’t hurt anyone.
Suggesting that we should live holy lives, lives that are orientated and dedicated to God, might seem old fashioned and possibly pharisaical.
But God’s old testament people were instructed to be imitators of his holiness ‘You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy’. In his first letter, Peter, quoting Leviticus, reiterated that calling for God’s new testament people. The writer to the Hebrews says, ‘without holiness no one will see the Lord.’
In our Encounter Day, we'll be thinking about how we can live a holy life and what it means to be Rooted in Holiness?
Encounter Days - Connecting more deeply with God
How do you most readily experience a sense of God’s presence?
Some people love silence and long for space to simply be.
Others find silence difficult, almost physically painful.
In our Encounter Days there will always be lots of space for quiet for those who value the silence, but we also recognise that not everyone processes internally.
We want to encourage additional ways of seeking a sense of God’s presence which might include discussion, prayer, or walking in a group or with another, making or listening to music, making or creating something, reflection using writing or reading.
Arrivals and refreshments from 9.30am
First session begins at 10.00am
