Evangelical organisation Church Society's annual Fellowship of Word and Spirit (FWS) Conference is an event with plenty of time for genuine fellowship, friendship, spiritual encouragement, reflection and prayer.
Alongside engaging seminars, talks and Q&A sessions with speakers, there is space for resting from the frantic pace of ministry and time to enthusiastically worship God together in music and song.
Revd Dr James Hughes, Vicar of St Alkmund’s Duffield, Derbyshire, delivered this year’s Bible readings on the book of Jonah, underlining the need to stay faithful to God, whose Word powerfully "works." James also highlighted God’s saving grace and His care and concern for His creation, asking whether we really believe God doesn’t give up - and if yes, what difference that makes in our lives and ministries.
