This series of talks and discussions is designed as an introduction to a life lived in the power of the Holy Spirit. They provide an opportunity for you to journey with us as we find out more about the offer that Jesus made in John 10:10 'I came that they might have life, and have it to the full'. They will also help you in taking the first steps of a new relationship with Our Lord.
What to expect
The Seminars will be held on five weekday evenings and culminated in a retreat (either day or extended evening event). The series is also supported by short daily reflection to help you to delve into the topic of the week.
There will be the opportunity for you to be prayed with for a fuller release of the Holy Spirit to live a deeper Christian life. This is referred to as praying for “Baptism in the Spirit”. This will be explained as the series proceeds. It’s nothing to be afraid of – many look forward to it and receive a lot from this experience
