  • Study Boot Camp on Saturday 17 August, from 08:00 till late
    A full day of immersion into your study without distractions. Put yourself into “flight mode” and experience the silence of the Brookside study room.

  • “How to Explain” Talk on Saturday 17 August, 10:00-11:00
    Here is the “method” we’ll follow:

    • ⁠Brainstorm common challenges

    • 3 core ideas to learn: one from Scripture, one from Tradition (early Christians), and one from logic/philosophy

    • ⁠⁠Practise in group/debate setting

Make sure not to miss:

Make sure to book for the next spiritual retreat, Fri 30 Aug - Sun 1 Sep!

A spiritual retreat is a silent weekend away from the city to be alone with God. It’s a powerful experience to bring meaning and direction into your life.

Coming up in the next few weeks…

  • Games Night on Friday 23 August at 17:00

  • Brookside Fitness Club on Sunday 25 August
    This could be a hike or a run. If we hike, it will be communicated ahead of time; otherwise, we run again. Watch the space!

  • Spiritual retreat from Friday 30 August evening to Sunday 1 September afternoon
    This is a silent retreat away from the city to be alone with God, quite a powerful experience to “catch up with God” and set your life on a good course.
