Get a life....God : real and relevant
I attended an information evening last night for the above conference that is due to be run in August by the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. Myself, my minister and the clerk of session of our church were all in attendance, and we are the appointed delegates attending the weeklong conference on behalf of our church.
On going to the meeting I didn't really know what to expect, but I guess that was the purpose of having the meeting, to provide information on the event. Having attended this I am now looking forward in anticipation to the event, and indeed quite excited by the prospect of what it will entail.
The conference will be looking at how the church can be real and relevant in the society and culture we find ourselves in today, revealing the unchanging message of the gospel to those in our community. The seminars will focus on the areas of appropriate worship, authentic fellowship and effective witness as a church in society today.
It is indeed my prayer that God would truly bless this conference, and use it to equip his body, the church, to present the unchanging gospel truths to a spiritually apathetic and needy world.
