Mens Getaway at Limes Country Lodge in Earlswood

Our speaker will again be Chris Spicer who led so well last year and received such positive feedback from the delegates. He will complete his talks on Life on The Hill by majoring on the last 4, as he terms them, Be – Attitudes. Last time he covered the first 4 beattitudes (improving our relationship with God) and this time will be focussing on our improving our relationship with others. These talks, intermingled with discussion sessions, will explore how we live out our Christian lives using Chris’s enlightening perspectives on Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5: 3-10, the beatitudes) and its application in current times. Chris is not only an author and minister but a former trustee of thelions.org, a charity which sponsors and mentors Christian entrepreneurs persuing initiatives which seek to “build the kingdom”. He has extensive experience of working with Christian communities and learning centres throughout Europe and North America.

We welcome all men whether regular Thirst attenders or not for this great opportunity to spend time with other men focussing on some key issues of Christian living in a relaxed comfortable environment. Learning, sharing, socialising.

The Limes Country Lodge in Earlswood is a lovely venue only 15 mins drive from Dorridge. The event runs from 6pm on Friday 20th to 4.30pm on Saturday 22nd.
