We are so excited to be welcoming the Solas team back to Cowplain Church for a full weekend of events on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th April.
In a skeptical and fast-paced culture, many of us find the idea of talking about our faith a bit daunting. We often worry about saying the wrong thing or being faced with a tough question we can't answer. If you have ever felt that way, you are not alone. This weekend is designed exactly for you.
We have a packed schedule featuring Andy Bannister, David Hutchings, and Gavin Matthews to help us grow in confidence and curiosity.
Saturday 25th April: Confident Christianity Conference (9:30am to 3:30pm)
Join us at Cowplain Church for a day dedicated to empowering you to talk about Jesus more naturally. Doors open at 9am for refreshments, and it is going to be a brilliant day of learning and encouragement.
Sunday 26th April: Sunday Discovery Services (9:15am and 11am)
Andy Bannister will be joining us for our morning services to share a talk alongside our usual worship and children’s groups. These services are free to attend and they are a great opportunity to hear more from the Solas team in our usual Sunday setting.
Sunday 26th April: An Evening with Solas (6:00pm)
To round off the weekend, we are heading to The Exchange restaurant in Waterlooville for a meal with Andy Bannister and David Hutchings as our after-dinner speakers. It is a relaxed way to invite friends or family to hear reflections on why faith makes such a difference in life.
(A £10 deposit per person is required, which is deducted from your final bill).
Whether you join us for one part of the weekend or all of it, we would love to see you there as we learn together how to share the hope we have with confidence.
