Last year we spent a brilliant leaders morning together, praying and hearing from Pete Greig and Lucy Peppiatt together. This year we plan to gather again as a family of leaders to think, relate, listen and pray as a movement in Stuttgart. We will have a morning of prayer and worship, which will also provide opportunity to communicate key themes and decisions from the core leaders meetings taking place in the days prior, and provide a valuable touchpoint for networking within the movement.
We would love for your to join us for the Leaders Morning at 08:30 on Thursday 30th October before the Gathering begins. You’d also be very welcome to join us for for drinks from 20:00 on Wednesday 29th October.
Over the years, these leaders’ meetings have been a context in which relationships have been consistently renewed, and God has been able to speak into the movement.
We are making this time invite only to a limited number of specific leaders so if you are unable to make it then you can suggest someone to stand in for you but we would need to agree before they can be invited. We also ask that you don’t bring anyone to this meeting who doesn’t have an invite from us already.
You have a period of 14 (fourteen) working days in which you may cancel your booking, starting from the day after the day you receive the email acknowledgement of event tickets. Working days means that Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays are not included in this period. Email [email protected]
