Gordon Dawes will be leading a workshop at the UK Harper Adams Bible School in early August (DV). He is  researching across the Christadelphian community internationally for modern preaching ideas which have been shown to work.

Please email him at 

gordon.dawes@talk21.com 

with your experiences. 
 
He would be grateful for any information. There is no immediate rush but he would like to have his thoughts and presentation ready by mid July!

For reference, the basis of the workshop is 

Preaching in the 21st century
 
How best to continue to spread the good news of the Gospel in today's busy, 'enabled' world is a subject testing many in our community. A lot of effort still goes into Sunday evening 'lectures', special efforts and campaigns, but are these still the best - the only - way to connect with people today?

This group will share and discuss the needs and fears, experiences of what works, what does not work, in different situations, and give examples of what some are doing to try to attract attention and share the principles of our faith in a vibrant and faithful way.

Forming a soft white blanket


"Snowflakes are a fragile thing individually,
but look at what they can do when they stick together."
- Fernando Bonaventura

"If one falls down, his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
Ecclesiastes 4:10-12

God, let my words get the stumbling right onto their feet again
 and make that I with several brethren and sisters can form one spirit,
and can spread Your Word and let others associate with us,
so that we can create one gentle blank carpet.
