Dressed in Christ, ready for work

Thursday 7 – Friday 8 May 2026,

Yarnfield Park Training & Conference Centre, Staffordshire, ST15 0NL

It’s seven o’clock, so it’s time to get changed. He pulls his lanyard over his head, unpins his name badge and stuffs them both in his rucksack as he heads home. She ties up the drawstrings of her scrub trousers and slips on her Crocs before heading onto the ward for handover. These are their end and beginning rituals, of putting off and putting on.

The apostle Paul encouraged Christians in the early church to change their attire, too. He instructed them to doff their old self, and their former way of life, and to don their ‘…new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness’. (Ephesians 4 :24b)

What impact would it have if we stepped into Christ’s changing room and took off old garments that weigh heavily and hinder us? Could we see a shift change in toxic workplace cultures, too, as we clothe ourselves distinctly in his love? As we gather together at NAMfest, we’ll be asking God for changeover. May he renew our minds and break through in our workplaces.
