Us Annual Conference 2013: Brave Steps

Us Annual Conference 2013:
Brave Steps

Monday 24 – Wednesday 26 June 2013

Venue: High Leigh Conference Centre, Hoddesdon, Herts

You are invited to attend our annual conference, which will be the first since we changed our name from USPG to Us, in November last year.

Starts 4pm on Monday 24 June; ends lunchtime on Wednesday 26. Or come for our special Day Conference on Tuesday 25 June.

This year’s conference is a chance to meet people whose lives have been changed through an encounter with Us, with workshops, activities and ideas to take back to your parish.

The conference is ‘Brave Steps’. In 2 Cor 5, Paul says ‘for we walk by faith, not by sight’. At conference we will be looking at the challenges and the blessings that come from walking by faith. We will hear first-hand how our partners are stepping forward into the fullness of life that Jesus promises us.
