Annual Healing ConferenceEach year we set aside one weekend to come more intimately before Father God and allow Him to open us up more to Himself. At the time of printing the speakers for this year’s conference have not been finalised, whereas we have able to firm up the dates and costs. So, put them in your diary now and watch the web site for further updates. Date: 21st - 23rd November Venue: Minsteracres Monastery, Consett, Co Durham Cost: £135 full board Defeating our Strongholds WeekendWe all have areas of unyieldedness to God in our lives - Strongholds. The teaching and practical ministry over the weekend will open us up to recognise them and give us skills to begin to overcome them. A journey into greater and greater freedom from doubts, brokenness, fears begins here. The feedback from each time we run this course clearly shows it is, without doubt, a truly life-changing weekend. The weekend includes one-to-one ministry and therefore numbers are strictly limited to 12, so book early. Date: 8th - 10th February Venue: Minsteracres Monastery Cost: £172 full board Nine Basic ModulesDesigned for all those interested in learning the basics about Jesus’ ministry of healing Part of the Centre’s vision is to equip the Saints for the work of ministry in the area of healing. We have identified nine key areas, which we see as basic modules for everyone involved in the healing ministry. Each one is written as a separate, stand-alone module and together they build into a complete basic programme. And we stress that this is a basic programme. As our vision in teaching these courses is about equipping the Saints for ministry (not just teaching on it), these 2½ hour sessions will include elements of appraisal and activation.

To be able to speak out in the Lord’s name we firstly need to be certain it is His voice we are hearing. Then we need to have the confidence to speak out what we’ve heard, whether it be words of healing, direction, encouragement and so on. This teaching will open up to you this very important ministry of the Holy Spirit. Fri Jun 20th Session 1 7.30pm – 10pm Sat Jun 21st Session 2 10am – 4pm Models of ministry expandedA practical day learning how to move in the Holy Spirit’s power as we examine the methods, revealed in scripture, that Jesus used during His ministry of healing. Having a whole day gives us a greater opportunity to explore and have a go at associated practices such as catching, aligning the skeleton, anointing with oil and much more. Sat Nov 8th 10am – 4pm Creative RetreatsUsing art and craft to explore spirituality and open ourselves up to God, these days are non threatening and hugely rewarding. Suitable for both the absolute beginner and those with experience. Sat May 17th Sat December 6th (Cost to cover materials will be advised when applying for the course.) The powerful role of praise & worship in the Christian’s lifeEven just a cursory reading of the bible shows that praise and worship are hugely important. But why? What is going on when Christians worship on their own or together? How do you do it properly? What’s it all about anyway? Why did the walls of Jericho fall down? Is it important for me? A 3 part course where we explore the importance of praise & worship and their vital importance for each Christian. Absolutely no experience needed. Mon Apr 28th Fri May 9th Sat May 10th (To come to later sessions you must attend the earlier ones as the course builds each session upon the last.) Going deeper in arts in worshipDesigned for all those who want to experience God moving in their lives in ways other than only listening to the preaching of the word. We will use a variety of media – clay, silk painting, music and many more – to explore our creativity and to allow God’s Spirit to flow in healing spirit, soul & body. The morning will be spent in understanding the influence of the Holy Spirit in our creativity with opportunity to explore that through the various visual/music media. The afternoon will be spent in an atmosphere of live music worship where we will have opportunity to express our creativity and experience God’s healing. Date: Sat Apr 26th All day Venue: to be confirmed Cost: £15/£8 waged/concessions Quiet DaysWe live in an ever busier and noisier world. Too often we do not have time to step back and recharge our spirits and souls. Our quiet days throughout the year are designed to give just that opportunity. These days will differ in style and content throughout the year, from led retreats to largely silent days. We hope that those who come will have time to reflect and refocus on their lives and those things that are important.
Tue Feb 19th Wed Apr 16th Mon Jun 9th Tue Aug 5th Mon Oct 6th Pathways to God – an introduction to the bibleFor many the bible and studying it is seen as dull or only for the elite intellectuals. This course will open up even the most clueless beginner to the hidden joys of seeing the bible come alive and will give an excitement about finding the gems that God has put in it for us to dig out. Mon Feb 11th Mon Feb 25th Mon Mar 10th (To come to later sessions you must attend the earlier ones as the course builds each session upon the last.) Going deeper in bible studyBuilding on the ‘Pathways to God’ course, this course will take you deeper into the immense joy and delight using the many bible study tools avilable today can bring you. A three part programme that assumes only basic understanding of the bible and takes us to understanding the tools available to us to really get to grips with the word of God for ourselves. We will use a variety of activites – teaching, group work, prayerful meditation. There are elements of work to do between sessions helping us become familiar with the teaching and then we come back together to share the riches we have discovered. Wed Oct 22nd Mon Nov 3rd Mon Nov 17th (To come to later sessions you must attend the earlier ones as the course builds each session upon the last.) General Notes
