I was at the steering committee meeting today to finalise the programme for the next Grace Baptist Assembly. Assembly endeavours to draw together Calvinistic Baptist churches in England and Wales (and sometimes beyond) for fellowship and mutual edification. For some years the assembly gathered at our church but in more recent thimes we have gone for a residential conference, which works better. Previous conferences have been at Swanwick, Derbyshire but we are planning to meet May 23-25, 2007, at High Leigh Conference Centre, Hoddesdon, Herts.
The host and hostess will be my parents-in-law, Geoff and Iola Thomas. On the two evenings
the speaker will be Pastor Conrad Mbewe (Lusaka, Zambia). See here. There are also sessions on baptism (Nigel Lacey), confessionalism and co-operation (Robert Oliver) and building churches in a multi-ethnic society (Graham Heaps). There will also be reports sessions and plenty of time for discussion and informal fellowship,etc. Over 50 are already booked and we hope that between a hundred and 200 will attend. Contact me if you want to know more.
