What Is The Weekend?
The Journey To Damascus starts with a weekend that begins on a Thursday evening and ends Sunday afternoon. A program built around 13 presentations and interspersed with periods of discussions, worship and meditation fills the time. Your weekend lasts only three days but you are invited to build on it for the rest of your life, After the weekend, those who have attended are encouraged to meet regularly in small groups that challenge and support one another. They build on what began during their weekend. The aim is to inspire, challenge, and equip church members for Christian action in their homes, churches, workplaces and community.
