Living in Exile: Advance UK Conference, Part 3 of 3

The third and final post in our series from Advance's UK conference in November. Read up on part 1 here and part 2 here . The UK conference will happen again in November 2020; try and keep your weekends free - we would love to take more of us along next year! Gemma Gillard: Nearing the end of exile - the urgency of old age Gemma is a writer, storyteller and entrepreneur based in Poole, where she is part of Gateway Church. Gemma founded Truth Be Told (TBT) in 2018, following Advance’s UK conference that year. TBT organise inter-generational storytelling sessions, made up of songs, props and stories to bring the hope and joy of childhood into the lives of those living with dementia.

Several Cornerstoners attended Advance's UK Conference in November, two amazing days hearing about what God is doing through the movement, worshipping together and looking to what God has for us next. Although all of Cornerstone couldn't attend, the sessions were for all our church - so enjoy notes from the conference, along with takeaways for Cornerstone.

Matt Hosier: Living in exile Matt is team leader at Gateway church and also serves on the Advance leadership team - the network of churches Cornerstone participates in. If you’ve taken part in either of Cornerstone’s last 2 church retreats, you’ll recognise Matt and his wife Grace who kindly joined us for the weekends and led the retreat sessions. Matt kicked off the Advance UK Conference with a look at why the topic of living in exile is so important, and why we felt it needed covering again. We need to challenge how easy it is to be comfortable ...

Living in Exile: Advance UK Conference, Part 2 of 3

Here's part 2 of our series from Advance's UK conference last month. The encouragement and lessons from the conference weren't just for attendees - they were for every member of Cornerstone. We hope this short series of articles helps Cornerstone feel more connected to what God is doing through Advance - and benefit from what the Holy Spirit got up to at the conference. If you missed part 1 check it out here. Donnie Griggs: Help those in your church live well in exile Donnie is Lead Pastor at One Harbour Church , North Carolina, USA. Donnie visited us back in 2018 to provide us with some leadership training; hepreached the following Sunday on how we can make Cornerstone a place non-Christians can feel welcomed and comfortable in, too. Donnie provided practical advice on how to help each other live this temporary life well, while we wait for our true home with Jesus. We are God's exiles An exile is someone who lives in a strange, unfamiliar place. Most o...
