Wonderful Word is taking place at St Peter’s Bury (BL9 9QZ) on Saturday 5th October 2024. Doors open at 9:30am, and we’ll wrap up by 4:30pm.

It won’t be livestreamed, so we’d love to see you on site!

There’ll be times for worship to focus on God, prayer to be transformed by His word, and connection with one another.

Our main input comes from those who have devoted themselves to understanding, applying, and teaching the Bible in churches and colleges. There’ll be opportunity for discussion along the way, and Question & Response with the contributors to end.

We’re delighted that Dr Ruth Perrin (St John’s College and King’s Church Durham) will be giving us an overview of the whole Bible.

Rev’d Canon Dr Michael Leyden (Dean of Emmanuel Theological College) will take us through an in-depth look at part of the Old Testament.

Rev’d Dr Ezekiel Shibemba (Nazarene Theological College and All Nations Church Oldham) will be delving into a portion of the New Testament.

This is for you, if you’re a:
— Christian trying to follow Jesus more wholeheartedly
— Small group leader wanting to guide others faithfully
— Preacher wanting to stay sharp
— Church leader wanting input and a way of investing in your team

We’ve deliberately brought together speakers who love the church. The content might stretch you, but it’s not going to be academic for the sake of it. The aim is to help anyone learn to love God with their mind as well as their heart, soul, and strength (Luke 10 verse 27).

We, unfortunately, aren’t able to offer childcare. The content would be suitable for those aged 16+. Anyone under 18 should be accompanied by an adult.

Tickets are available now! Our early bird rate is available until the 16th June.

We recommend either bringing lunch, or getting a ticket with lunch included, as there aren’t many places to buy food from quickly around the church.

We don’t want money to be the reason anyone doesn’t come. If that would make the difference for you, contact us about a bursary ticket, or joining the Wonderful Word team to help with logistics or hospitality.
