Refresher Weekends
IRON SHARPENING IRON
We are passionate about equipping, training, and proclaiming the relational nature of God. Our goal is healthy churches who want to be a part of God’s renewal.
For two years in a cycle of three, we gather at a central location in February for a weekend of fellowship, fun, learning and the stimulation of "iron sharpening iron". Discussion, Q&A, activities - all centred on both general Christian themes and issues specific to our own fellowship.
Because of Covid-19, our Refresher Weekend originally planned for February 2020 was delayed until July 2021. It went ahead at the new time, and was most enjoyable and fruitful. A report on the July 2021 Refresher is available by clicking this link.
The 2022 Refresher Weekend was held on Zoom because of Covid travel restrictions. For a report, please click this link.
The March 2023 Refresher Weekend was held at El Rancho Christian Camp in Waikanae, and explored the ‘how to’ as well as the wonder of God’s love shared to others. Martin Bailey, a certified personal and business coach from Melbourne, Vic, spoke to and workshopped “The 4 E’s” – Engage, Equip, Empower and Encourage. Click this link for a report.
