Our guest speakers - Nick and Ali Herbert

Our speakers for the weekend are Nick and Ali Herbert from Gas Street Church in Birmingham. They are both going to speak on the theme of ‘Powerhouse’ from Acts 1.4-9.  They’ll look at the work of the Spirit in making us alive, the power of the Spirit in us as church and how we press into the things of the Spirit in order to live out our call to see God’s kingdom come.

Nick will lead some of the worship with the ENC band, and also do a Saturday seminar on worship. Ali will do a seminar on ‘Rest, Resilience and Ruach’.
