Here is an update from Ellel Glyndley

New Explore Course starting:

Come and join us for our Explore course which is starting to run from the 18-19th March.  Explore is a series of 10 weekend courses spread over a year designed to train and equip God’s people through a journey of learning, understanding and personal transformation. This course answers life’s foundational questions from a solid biblical perspective – perhaps in a way that you have never heard God’s story explained before. Together we will find that there is hope and help for the issues we struggle with in everyday life – issues of anxiety, stress, physical pain, emotional distress, problems in relationships, addictive behaviour, and depression to name just a few.

Each of the events in the series will include time for worship, biblical teaching, group discussion, activities, personal reflection, and opportunity for prayer.

Explore offers the opportunity to briefly get away from your everyday world, to enjoy the beautiful grounds and surroundings of our centre and reconnect with God. We have an amazing team that wants to make your visit with us a deeply blessed one.

The first course in this series is titled ‘ The Big Picture’ where it is exploring God’s Foundations for Life.

On the 4 -10th April we have our Restoration week called ‘Rediscovering Identity’. Restoration Weeks are an insightful blend of teaching and ministry, designed to build you back up from a place of woundedness into renewal.

Do you know who you are? Are you living as the person God made you to be? If your answer to these questions is “no” then this week is for you! During the week there is teaching to understand the principles of how our God-given identity can be crushed, distorted or hidden.

With God’s restoration of your innermost being, you can find the truth of your unique personhood and so move into your full potential and find your personal destiny. For the first three days of the Restoration Week, the focus is on teaching, as well as creativity workshops, where you can experiment with new ideas, and times of fellowship. After a free day on Sunday for rest, personal time and assimilation of the teaching, the second half of the week is made up of short teaching sessions with time to pray after each session.

Ellel Glyndley Manor runs four different Restoration Weeks every year, each having a different teaching theme woven in.

Don’t forget we have a Free Taster Day on the 26th of February This exciting free day will give you the opportunity of tasting some of the foundational teaching of Ellel Ministries as we look at various aspects of healing and discipleship. The day will include what Luke 9:11 means to the ministry, how it all began, some “bite sized” teaching and an opportunity to view one of the holiday cottages on site.

You may have heard about Bible by the Beach (biblebythebeach.org) – we hope you have! – but you may not know that the Sunday evening Celebration is open to all and free to all!  A number of churches cancel their evening services and bring folk along to the Congress Theatre in Eastbourne and we want to invite you and your congregation to join us too on Sunday 1st May in Eastbourne!

MakeLunch @ St B’s is a project that has been running since the summer of 2018, using St Barnabas Church in Langney.

Overseen by The Well Community Church and with volunteers from churches across the town, the project feeds hungry children and their families each school holiday. As well as providing a hot, nutritious meal children make a craft, parents have a chance to sit and relax and ‘the church’ has the opportunity to connect and make a difference in people’s lives.

The project is part of Transforming Lives for Good, a national charity that supports local churches to make a difference in their communities. (www.tlg.org.uk)

As we go into the Easter Holidays and looking ahead to summer, we are in need of more volunteers. Help is needed to set up the dining hall, assist with the craft, help in the kitchen, serve the food, engage the families or wash up. We normally run once in half terms, twice at Easter & Christmas and 6/8 times over the summer.

If you can give a few hours to help, please contact Julie Smith from The Well on 07882 497078 to find out more.

Thanks
