3:45 pm Global Atmosphere, global change – with BMS World Mission
God is working mightily through his people – in places and ways you’d not expect. Come to see and hear what the Lord is doing – and how you are already a part of it. Our sisters and brothers are changing the atmosphere in fragile states, financially poor communities and places where Jesus is barely known. They are supported and encouraged by people like you. Come to this session to find out how you can meaningfully stand alongside them and change the atmosphere not just in one country – but in a rushing wind of the Spirit across the nations.

Communicating through multimedia in a digital age
With help from the very best of BMS Communications team, this seminar will help you get to grips with using different forms of multimedia in a practical seminar designed to help churches communicate more effectively in a digital age.
Facing the challenge of creation care
Paris: 1.5 degrees. Glasgow: COP26. Climate emergency. If you’re unfamiliar with the significance of those in our life as Christians then this session might just be for you.
Our primary task will be to re-engage hearts, that, as part of God’s creation we might care for it as a treasured gift; to recognise the earth as Sanctuary and Light. We’ll introduce a practical toolkit from A-Rocha: Eco-Church that covers every aspect of our life together as Church and encourages us towards a low carbon future. We’ll also offer you three things to do to get you going.
Speaker: Stuart Elliott (A Rocha / Eco Church)
