HOPES are pleased to announce The Treasure Room
“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:21)
We are so excited to be opening up Sunday evenings at the Bexhill Coach House with a time of quiet, medatative led prayer from 6:30pm-8pm each week beginning Sunday 18th June. This is an opportunity to silently set our hearts gaze on Jesus, “in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Col. 2:3). During this time there will be the opportunity to meditate on the Word of God, to wait on Him, and listen for His still, small voice….glorifying Him in our hearts and remembering His Presence in all we do.
We want this to be a space for Jesus to lay His head – a place where we express our loving attention for loves own sake towards God. So if you’re hungry for more of God or simply want to come and rest in His Presence, please come and join us in the Treasure Room sessions each Sunday, you will be so welcome! ????
Please could you forward this to those who you feel may be interested and possibly put it in your notices for Sunday. It would be great if we knew who were coming, so please let us know if you are.
Also, Just a reminder,
We are open 10am – 4pm, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday for individual/group prayer.
EXPLORE – Lost and Found 24 – 25 June
Exploring the Remedy for Rejection
ABOUT THE COURSE
If there is one thing that would really change our sense of well-being it is to know that we are unconditionally loved and accepted. The scriptures tell us that God loves all He has created and that when we accept Jesus as our Saviour, we are fully part of God’s family again. Yet we can find it so hard to personally accept this truth and live in the abundant life promised to us.
Even as Christians we sometimes feel as if we are lost sheep who desperately desire and need to be found and embraced by the Good Shepherd but then sense of inadequacy, guilt and shame can hold us back.
This course will explore how rejection first came into the world and how you can develop distorted beliefs about your own acceptability to God, to others and even to yourself. If you can assuredly know the truth of who God is and who you really are then, undoubtedly, your life will be transformed.

EXPLORE: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY 8 – 9 July
Exploring How to Deal with Difficult Emotions
ABOUT THE COURSE
From the ups to the downs, emotions are an essential part of being human. Without them our relationships are empty and mechanical and our lives grey and colourless.
Yet many of us struggle with our emotions, often trying to deny and even crush them because they seem to be the cause of our problems. The reality is that some emotions seem very hard to handle; they can be overwhelming, seem unacceptable or even feel destructive.
This course seeks to bring a full understanding of what your emotions are, why they exist and how you can handle them in a godly way. It will unpick the intricacies of difficult emotions such as grief, anger and jealousy, and how God has purposed for you to find release and His comfort, so you can move safely through the turmoil and find a new place of rest.

Healing Weekend: Restoring Relationships 15-18 July
Are you struggling to experience real joy and blessing from your relationships?
ABOUT THE COURSE
Do you struggle to develop good relationships? What about the most important relationship of all, the one with our Heavenly Father – do you long for a deeper relationship with Him?
God created us to relate with others – our neighbours, workmates, fellow Christians, marriage partner and members of our families – but these relationships are often flawed and can become a source of pain and misery. Maybe there are behaviours that you can’t seem to overcome or fears that grip you and hold you back from being able to relate. Then this extended weekend is for you!
This special 4-Day Healing Weekend is designed for ordinary people who find relationships difficult. This course will bring understanding of how to move toward giving and receiving in healthy relationships and how to be free from unhealthy relationships that have affected us in the past. It is so important because right relationships, both with God and with other people, are central to the whole of life.
