The High Points 

Hope Explored - Harvest

Hope explored is the name we have given to an Autumn focus on inviting friends and colleagues in our local communities to discover more about Christian Hope, possibly by using one of the many resources we have listed. There are also other aspects of this season which will be part of the focus of Hope Explored:

  • Harvest Festivals and Rogation Sunday - particularly relevant in market towns and villages.

  • Political Party Conferences when we would love to links between local churches and the party delegates (all of the main parties have supported Hope 2008) in Birmingham, Bournemouth and Manchester

  • The focus on The 2012 Olympics which will step up several gears on Sunday 24th August for the main Olympic programme and Wednesday 17th September for the Paralympics. It is anticipated that these will lead to many town and city events as they launch a four year    Cultural Olympiad.
