Pastoral Training - Guard Your Heart
2020-02-15 09:00 - 13:00 | Tees Valley Community Church, Cleasby Way, Durham Lane Industrial Park, Stockton-on-Tees, Cleveland, TS16 0RD, United Kingdom
Pastoral Training Seminar at the Oakwood Centre on February 15th
There is still space available.
The title for the seminar is taken from Proverbs 4:23 where the writer urges readers: ‘above all things, guard your heart, for it determines the course of your life’.
Paul urges his young charge, Timothy, to keep his conscience clear. He cites a couple of examples of believers who had violated their consciences and made shipwreck of their faith (1 Timothy 1:19-20). Such examples are sadly still to be found, even among Christian leaders and ministers, leaving shipwrecked families and scandalised churches in their wake.
This seminar aims to render shipwrecks extinct in Taking Ground(TG)! Or, at the very least, a highly endangered species! We shall take an honest look at our vulnerabilities and suggest some positive healthy habits of life and ministry, designed to minimize risk and maximise wisdom.
The format of the last seminar seemed to be appreciated, so we shall follow a similar one this time, with three interactive sessions and an extended Q&A. The input will be provided by members of the TG Pastoral Team and others whose stories are instructive.
Refreshments will be available from 9.00 am and the first session will begin promptly at 9:15. There will be a coffee break in the middle of the morning, and we shall finish not later than 1:00 PM.
This seminar is open to all who care pastorally for others, whether in work, at home or in the church. It will be particularly relevant to those in counselling ministries and, of course, to those who are part of church leadership teams.
It is helpful to have some idea of numbers, from a catering point of view, so please ask those coming from your church to register by Monday 10 February, if possible. Of course, nobody will be turned away who pitches up, unexpected, on the day!
To register, please contact this email address: pastoral@theoakwood.org.uk
Looking forward to learning and growing together,
Rick Thomas (for the Pastoral Team)

Taking Ground Music - Worship Night

The evening is taking place at Tees Valley Community Church at 7:30 pm. FREE ENTRY // EVERYONE WELCOME //.
We are excited to meet together to worship our great God. Worship is more than gathering together for a “feel good” evening. Worship honours our mighty God. It changes us, our perspective and it changes circumstances around us. Worship, wages war on the enemy. It lifts up the name of Jesus and seats HIM on the throne of our lives. Worship declares God as our victor, our Redeemer, our father and friend. God Is SO good, he is faithful, true to his promises! He is healer, provider, giver and sustainer of life. In him is fullness of life, peace, strength and joy. Our God is SO worthy of our praise, our time, our effort. We can’t wait to worship with you and see what God does! Look forward to seeing you there 🙌🏼
