Men's Weekend Away 1st - 3rd October 2010
What to expect
The men's weekend away is open to men from Christ Church of all ages. Our hope is that it will provide an opportunity to build on and establish new relationships with each other, as we spend time together encouraging one another as Christians. The weekend will start on Friday evening and finish after Sunday lunch.
We will also hear four talks from our speakers and there will also be time to share together our thoughts about what we are learning from the Sermon on the Mount.
There will be plenty of free time to relax and get to know one another better over the weekend, as well as to explore the surrounding woods and hills, and to make the most of the facilities available to us.
How much will it cost?
The cost of the weekend is £65 per person, which includes all meals and accommodation on the site.
However we are aware that there are people who would prefer to have a more comfortable night's sleep at a local Bed & Breakfast. We can arrange this, but the cost will be increased accordingly.
There will also be the possibility of bringing your own tent if you would like to reduce the cost of statying. Please indicate this when you book and we will be in contact with you.
