Sink or Swim!

About 35 came to the National Juniors’ Day Conference in Birmingham on 16 March to hear Andy Gemmill (medically qualified pastor from Nottingham) give two superb addresses on Romans 7 and 8 which were followed up in small group discussion. The key message was that the struggle against sin is part of the normal Christian life, but that our future with God is assured and God’s power is available now in the fight. Janet Goodall, Kevin Vaughan and Anne Largie contributed along with Andy to a lively panel discussion chaired by Peter Saunders in which many of the big issues facing juniors were aired and wisdom brought to bear. Thanks to Sarah Germain and the Juniors’ committee for another great event.
