The Pursuit of Peace

At our January brunch, after copious amounts of fruit salad and chocolate brioche, Anna Mathur spoke about the Pursuit of Peace. She challenged us to think about where we run to in times of chaos, as well as suggesting ways in which we can seek peace within the midst of it.

For more information about our Women's brunches, and to find the dates for your diary, see above.

Women's Weekend

"Girls on Tour Again" 25-27 November, 2011.

150 women from St Mark's enjoyed a pre-Christmas break, a brilliant opportunity to get refreshed and re-focussed.

Along with great worship and teaching from our guest speaker, we enjoyed:

• A great new venue with beautiful grounds
• Leisurely mealtimes with delicious buffet food (we can vouch for that!)
• Workshops and seminars
• An array of Saturday afternoon activities including autumnal walks and manicures!
• Chats in the wine bar with Saturday evening entertainment
• Free flowing cappucinos
• Opportunities to meet and make new friends

Speaker:

Anita Cleverly. Anita and her husband Charlie lead St Aldate’s Oxford – one of the city’s largest and most vibrant student congregations. Anita has many passions! High on the list are encouraging women and releasing them into their calling; and developing our love affair with God through prayer (both are key themes developed in her first book ‘Destiny’s Children’). Anita founded the Next Generation Conference in 2005, and is on the international team of a new global prayer network ‘ASK’. We had such an exciting time with her!

New Venue:

We were staying at the lovely De Vere Hotel in Sunningdale.Only a short train ride from Clapham Junction, it was a perfect choice for our weekend away. Have a little look here.
