Window on the World - 'Hold the Christ-Light'
Window on the World is the
holiday conference organised by CWM European
Region, taking place from 7th-13th
August 2010. The conference is an opportunity
to meet the world church and learn more about
mission.
In 2010 worship will be led by
“Siyaya,” a group of young people from the JL
ZWANE Centre, Guguleto, South Africa. The group
have travelled to many countries taking their
lively music and worship, including a 2008 visit
to Washington DC with Archbishop Njongonkulu
Ndungane of Cape Town. Revd Elizabeth Joy,
Executive Secretary for Mission Education at CWM
will lead evening worship and Revd SHou-Hui
Chung a Mission Partner from Taiwan will lead
early morning prayers - a truly world church
worship team!
Revd Dr Janet Wootton will
inspire the conference through the theme “Hold
the Christ-Light.” Janet is Director of Studies
in the Congregational Federation and well known
hymn writer, author and theologian. The theme
will focus on the relationship between mission
and worship – how worship inspires the church to
do mission and mission informs the church at
worship.
The conference gives plenty of
activities for people of all ages. Each morning
there is a lively programme for children and
young people. Afternoons include making use of
the outdoor activity facilities, time to explore
the surrounding area, interest workshops and
evenings are filled with entertainment for all
ages.
The venue is The Pioneer Centre
at Cleobury Mortimer, near Kidderminster. The
Centre has excellent outdoor activities for all
ages, including abseiling, swimming, climbing
and fencing. Accommodation is mostly in
en-suite rooms for 2, 3 and 4 people.
