Booking is now open for three “In a Big Country” rural conferences taking place across Scotland this autumn. The conferences, which are being organised by the Centre for Rural Ministry, are a great opportunity for congregations to study God’s Word, to hear what God is doing in and around rural Scotland, and to encourage each other.
People are invited to In a Big Country conferences at Thurso Free Church on Saturday 13th September, and Campbeltown Free Church on Saturday 4th October and Dingwall Free Church on Saturday 1st November. All events begin at 9:30 for refreshments, for a 10am start.
There will be main speakers at each of the conferences, along with several seminars for people to choose from. They all promise to be very exciting and interesting days for anyone, regardless of whether they live in Edinburgh, Edzell or Eorodale!
The Centre for Rural Ministry team says: “In our North Conference in Thurso, we look forward to hearing from Rev. Matt Alexander and Rev. Ivor Macdonald, with a special emphasis on rural evangelism, connecting with the community around us, discipleship, being a Christian in the workplace and much more!
“Our Argyll Conference in Campeltown will also have an emphasis on rural evangelism and the Quiet Revival going on in the UK. Rev. Rodger Crooks and Rev. Ivor Macdonald will be speaking, as well as a time of discussion around the topics of connecting with rural communities and discipleship.
“At the Dingwall Conference, we will be hearing from Rev. Matty Guy, we will have several short talks and seminars for people to choose from, Christian organisations with stands to look at, group discussions and our keynote speaker is Rev. Thomas Davis. The theme for this conference is Changing the Culture in Rural Churches, and we are very excited!”
Tickets for each of the events will be £10 per person.
