12.00pm – LUNCH BREAK
1.30pm – 2.30pm – SEMINAR 1
- Songwriting Pt. 1 – Why Write Your Own Songs? – Steve Harding, Lucy Grimble, Aaron Keyes – SONGS FROM THE SOIL
Creating an imagination for writing our own songs!
Songs are a powerful way to worship, to meditate, to pray and to teach. We all benefit from songs that come from all over the world, but we also want to make space for the home cooked songs from our local communities that testify of what God is doing in the local church.
- Worship and Mental Health – Megan Keyes
Remaining authentic when you step up onto the worship platform. Join Megan Keyes as she shares insights on how worship leadership can become performance that could compromise our truest selves.
- Worship Evangelism – Helen Yousaf
It is widely agreed that we worship for an audience of 1. Perhaps a better explanation would be to say we worship for the GLORY of 1 but an audience of a whole world who are observing our passion or lack thereof. It is time the Bride wore her heart on her sleeve and worshipped so that the world can watch on and enquire why she burns so brightly in such a dark age. Maybe then we would be a city on a hill that cannot be hidden. ‘Let your light shine before me , that they may see your good works and glory your father which is in heaven.’ Matthew 5:16
- Christian Mission in Action Ted Talks (20 mins each):
- Baking a Brighter Future for Women – Bramber Bakehouse
Join us as we unpack the vision and mission behind Bramber Bakehouse; an award-winning charity supporting female survivors of abuse, exploitation and displacement. We want women to have healthy, meaningful lives and have found an innovative, caring and missional way to respond to Isaiah 58. Be inspired, encouraged and ready to act!
- Contending for the Faith – The Christian Institute
What are some of the main threats to Gospel freedom today? How should Christians respond? We consider some of the lessons to be learned from key cases where we’ve helped people stand for Christ in their day-to-day situation.
- Befriending Israel as Part of Worship – Christian Friends of Israel
Come and hear about a ministry that encourages understanding of Israel biblically, historically, and currently; challenges prejudice, particularly antisemitism; and assists the building of community in Israel through humanitarian aid projects. CFI are actively participating in the current battle for truth over the Hamas-Israel conflict, and helping Israeli terror and trauma victims through comfort and compassion.

3.00pm – 4.00pm – SEMINAR 2
- Songwriting Pt. 2 – What Do We Write About? – Steve Harding, Lucy Grimble, Aaron Keyes – SONGS FROM THE SOIL
What themes, needs and subjects can we write about?
Being attentive to both the prophetic (what does God have to say) and the pastoral (what do people need to speak or sing out) is at the heart of useful and beautiful songs. How do we love God and serve the church with our song writing gift? As part of this session we’ll get into groups and attempt to write a song!
