Is your business truly sustainable? Inclusive? Ethical?
Want to find out more about how your business can not just strive to be the best in the world but the best for the world?
Christian Aid and the Bishop of Birmingham invite you to join them for an opportunity to explore how you can be supported to develop a more values based business which has human flourishing and care for creation at it’s heart. This event will mark the launch of a new Christian business network in the West Midlands, Salt.
Sophi Tranchell, Group CEO Divine Chocolate, and Salt Member, said ‘Bringing together business people who recognise the opportunity business has to address both the causes and outcomes of poverty, and share their experiences and learn from each other, has powerful potential and could be a real catalyst for change.’
Christian Aid is working to eradicate poverty across the world, and is coming up with some innovative ways to do just that. We are inviting business leaders to work with us, and with each other, to tackle global poverty. The new Salt Business Network is open to anyone who owns a business, or is in a senior management position within a commercial organisation. It is for leaders who want to join a movement of like-minded people, who will learn about putting in place more responsible business practices, and about sustainable development, through the lens of faith.

Great Chapters of the Bible - Paul's Prayers of Thanksgiving
28 November 2018
Waverley Abbey House, Farnham, Surrey GU9 8EP
The popular Great Chapters of the Bible series covers some of the most significant chapters in the Bible. Each course covers three aspects of study: the chapter’s significance within its book, its importance within the whole biblical redemptive narrative and the significance of the chapter to Christian life.
Philip will be focusing on the theme of Thankfulness, beginning with the Psalms and then focusing on Paul’s prayers in Ephesians; then in more depth, his prayers in Colossians through which letter Thankfulness runs like a thread.

Capernwray Hall is a beautiful place for a holiday at any time of the year but at Christmas we pull out all the stops! When we add the Christmas trees, lights and decorations to this grand manor house – when the fires are lit and when the house fills with adults and children it becomes a spectacular place to spend some cold wintry days. As we join together and celebrate Christmas we can never forget the arrival of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. Our Bible teaching sessions for adults, teens and children ensure that we celebrate not only His birth, but His life and His continual presence in our lives. Join us to celebrate in style!

We believe that every woman has a special God given purpose. We have a passion to see women engage in their community and know that you can change your world just by being yourself.
Join us at Horwood House for MODIFY 2019. Our theme takes us to the heart of what Activate is all about- reaching the lost. As Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:20-22, the way to do this is to find common ground, embracing what is similar with those you meet, without compromising on truth. Like a chameleon, we can adapt and modify our ourselves to make ourselves more approachable, more welcoming, without changing who we are and what we believe.

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 1 Corinthians 9:20-22
