- Reminder of what to bring. Bible & pen, sheets, pillowcase & towel, swimming costume, games, Lindt balls for Deb Moses’ pillow (optional), a sense of humour, a willingness to have fun and a desire to be challenged by God’s word.

- Please speak with Nic Delgorge if you haven’t organised complete payment for the weekend.

- The theme for Saturday night is ‘War and Peace’, so dress up accordingly. This isn’t solely based on Tolstoy’s book, but either or both of war, and, peace. I’ve seen some interesting discussions on Facebook about various ideas.

- We will have a separate men/women session with some more experienced people on a panel. Can you please think of two questions you’d like to ask them about any topic you like? SMS them to me, or put them in writing into a box we’ll have waiting at the campsite.

- If we’re expecting you to drive someone, Nic has already contacted you.
- If you offered to drive someone and Nic hasn’t contacted you, thanks for the offer, but you’re not needed.
- If you are expecting someone to drive you, your driver should have already done so. If you are still without a lift, call my mobile.

- Arrive any time after 7.00pm. Our first session starts at 8.00pm. You’ll need to get your own dinner on the way.

Lastly, pray:
- that all of us going may know and love our great and gracious God better
- that we commit to serving him and his people all the more
- for David as he finalises and gives his talks

Thanks,
Joshua

There are some changes to Bible study group organisation this year. The biggest is the removal of the Switch/Element distinction. As I’ve mentioned, numerous people have told me the Switch/Element divide made it harder to build friendships with others of different ages. If this is true of the majority of evening church, then I hope most people will have as their first preference ‘Any group’. If it’s not, the groups might just look like last year, without the names Switch and Element.

I’m curious to know if there is interest in an all guys and/or all girls group. These groups will only happen if there is enough interest in them.

I’m expecting most groups to meet in someone’s home, though the Barnabas Centre is still available for use if a group decides that is most convenient.

Also, I want to encourage each group to have greater autonomy. To that end, not only will groups decide amongst themselves where to meet, but also when to meet. If the group you are allocated to decides to meet on a day you can’t make, please let me know and we can find another group for you to join.

Please email the office for more information.
