CARELINKS / CROYDON CHURCH IN A PUB RETREAT WEEKEND OCTOBER 18-20 Lord willing.
Want to meet some really live interesting people? This is for you, either as a day visitor or spendng the weekend.
Pleased to tell you that we plan to gather a few of us together for a residential weekend retreat at the Carroty Wood centre in Kent
[Higham Lane, Tonbridge, Kent TN11 9QX C https://rockuk.org/centres/carroty-wood/ ], really cute place. We'd arrive on Friday 18th October at 4:30 and leave on the Sunday afternoon 20th October after lunch, Lord willing. I can pick you up from Tonbridge Station or could take a few of you with me in the car direct from East Croydon station. Cost- well, those who can't pay anything don't need to pay anything. We'll just have a pot where folks can put any contribution. Don't want ££ to stop anyone coming. But most should consider an adequate donation to their own cost. Let us know if any issues there. We want you to see you there. The rooms are nice all with ensuite toilet and shower. And there's a nice conference hall. Car parking right next to the building. We would have some Bible studies on the theme of JOSEPH: The man with all our issues. Fear, forgiveness, false accusation, faith. Speakers: Steve Gretton, Duncan Heaster, Peter Marsella and all of you... Along with prayer, discussion, walks, games, whatever.

Day visitors welcome. Want to meet some real people, really interesting people, really genuine newly converted Christian people for a great weekend? This is the place to come! Also looking for some helpers with the catering and clean up after. God bless and let's pray for a great outcome to His glory! If you want to come, please text Duncan 07481122558 or Cindy 07481120989 . You're welcome to bring friends, especially anyone interested in being baptized into the Lord Jesus [there's an indoor swimming pool on site].
