What does it mean to be ‘born free’? Do we really appreciate that we are citizens of God’s kingdom, and embrace with gratitude the freedom that he has won for us? Or do we scurry around like the proverbial ant, labouring to earn our place, never still, our heads bowed under a heavy yoke of our own making? Come and join in the discussion as we launch Katharine Hill’s lovely new book, and explore how we can experience the love of God more deeply in the everyday busyness of work, family and life and share that joy with others.

New Wine has a new location: Maidstone in Kent. Come along and hear Simon Ponsonby (author of Amazed by Jesus and God Inside Out) deliver the morning Bible Readings in his own inimitable way. And Katharine Hill and the Care for the Family Team will be leading seminars on parenting in a digital age, drawing on a depth of wisdom in her lifeline of a book, Left to their Own Devices. We were also excited to see that Gary Haugen will be there, author of Good News about Injustice and founder of IJM ministries.
