High Kirk’s Word and Spirit Conference, Momentum, is exploring the theme of keeping in step with the Spirit today.
Our speakers, Paul and Becky Harcourt lead the team at All Saints’ Church, Woodford Wells in North East London. Paul is National Director of New Wine in England and Becky is a member of the New Wine National leadership team. Both have personal experience of journeying into a deeper relationship of trust and dependence on Jesus and learning to live a Spirit-led life. They have broken through barriers of a reluctance to fully surrender everything to God (Paul) and a wounded heart in need of healing (Becky).
We believe that the conference weekend will be a particularly special time as we gather in worship and prayer; one where God will speak into our lives both as individuals and together as a church body. This will be a special occasion when we will be able to support one another through prayer with plenty of opportunity to receive prayer ministry from the core prayer ministry team.
Join us as we allow God’s Spirit to minister to us. Worship is led by the High Kirk worship team. The Conference is free.

Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the basics of the Christian faith. It will run over 9 weeks starting on the 18th January, each session looks at a different question that people can have about faith and is designed to create conversation.

Discovering your God-Given gifts – What career or ministry suits you best
2022-10-17 19:30 - 21:00
Jeremiah 20:12 tells us that God sees our minds and our hearts. Because He was involved in our formation, He knows that we are different to one another.
We’ve already seen how these gifts God has given us motivate the way we see and respond to the world around us, and they also determine the things we enjoy and love doing. After all, who doesn’t enjoy doing something that we’re good at?
As we discover our gifts, we will understand how certain ministries within the church – and even careers – are best suited to us when we use the gift God has given us. That doesn’t mean that they cannot be used in all areas of ministry. Nor should we use the knowledge of our gift be an excuse not to be involved in other areas of ministry.
Whatever your gift might be, it should never prevent us from being compassionate to one another, or offer resources if we are able. But we will feel the greatest satisfaction and accomplishment when we are doing the things God has designed us to love doing.

Discovering your God-Given gifts – How gifts affect your relationships
2022-10-10 19:30 - 21:00
Before Paul tells us about the different gifts that we have in Romans 12, he describes believers as being like a body, made up of different parts, but all connected to one another. We are mutually dependant on one another but working for a common purpose – the glory of God.
Because Peter reminds us that our gifts are for the benefit of others, this also means that our relationships with one another should be mutually beneficial. When we use our gifts in the way God wants us to use them, then we will build one another up, strengthening the relationships within the church.
Because our gifts impact how we respond to the world around us, and because we have different gifts within the body of believers – and within our own families – we will see and react to situations differently to one another. This can often be the cause of conflict amongst members of the Body of Christ, particularly when someone responds to a situation differently to how we think that they should.
Understanding how the different gifts impact us goes a long way to helping us understand these different responses which will make us more empathetic, and more forgiving, towards one another.

Discovering your God-Given gifts – Why do you think and act the way you do
2022-10-03 19:30 - 21:00
In Romans 12:6-8, Paul tells us that God has given each of us a gift, which the Amplified Bible also translates as ‘talent’ or ‘quality’, and Peter writes in his first letter that we should use these for the benefit of others and for God’s glory (1 Peter 4:10).
The free will that God has given us means that we can choose to use them in this way, neglect them or even use them for selfish gain. These gifts were not an afterthought for God. He gave them to us when He fearfully and wonderfully formed us in our mothers’ wombs and have been a part of our character throughout our own lives, revealed to us through the Holy Spirit.
Like coloured or tinted sunglasses will colour the way we see the world, these gifts influence the way we see and respond to the world and people around us. They motivate our natural responses in situations, and we find the opportunity to use them meaningful and fulfilling.
That’s why we refer to them as ‘Motivational Gifts’, because they are the motivation, or driving force, behind the way we see and interact with the world around us.

Discovering your God-Given Gifts – Not Just Another Course
2022-09-26 19:30 - 21:00
Rowan and Joanne will be running this course for four weeks starting Monday, 19 September 2022 in The Oasis.  You are right if you thought it was a course, but this is not just another course! There is no reading, no work to do, just attend.
This course will not only help you find out what your gift is, it will also help you understand how to use it in all the areas of your life like in church, in your relationships, or even your job. It will help you understand why you see things differently or feel fulfilled in different ways to other people in the church, even in your own family.
But using your gift should not be a chore, rather it’s a fulfilment of the gift God gave you!  He has given us something so wonderfully unique that our own individual gift will bring us joy as we use it, and more importantly, it will draw us closer to God.  Even better, as we all use our gifts, they will complement each other even though they are all different. Just as Romans 12 verse 4 reminds us, our gifts intertwine; one body with many members, each with different functions.
No, this is not just another course; this is the beginning of a new chapter and it’s right on our doorstep ready to be explored.

GB Registration night
2022-09-06 19:00 - 20:30
There will be leaders in the McCaughey Hall from 7pm – 8.30pm on that evening and it would be great if as many parents/guardians as possible could come along to pay fees (£15) and order uniform.
This really eases the burden on the first night of GB which can be a busy one!
Girls do not need to attend unless they need to try on uniforms. Old uniforms can be returned to Catherine on Sunday 4th Sept in the Foyer or on the registration evening.
