About 35 men from HBC went away to weekend 3 of Katoomba Mens Convention (March 5-6).  The topic was ‘Men of Service- Love Relationships and Family.  Basically it was fantastic!

John Dickson spoke from Philippians and showed how an understanding of the first readers’ original context makes it clear the gospel demanded a lot from them. 

Gary Millar from Ireland preached on Song of Songs.  He’s a brave man and didn’t shirk away from anything!  We learnt heaps about how to read the book so it made sense.  There was also lots of great challenges to think about sex rightly and relate in a godly way to our wives (for those who have them).

I would certainly recommend for men to buy the talks (especially Gary’s) from the kcc website.  To wives - it would make a great gift!

The fellowship on the bus, at McDonalds and at the Youth Hostel was also a highlight.  I’m looking forward to next year - hope you are too.

Katoomba Men’s Convention is an annual event designed to challenge men to stand up and grow in their Christian lives.  Thousands of men from across the state gather to learn, sing, pray and hang out together.  HBC guys have been going for several years and those who go once nearly always go again (often at the insistence of their wives!).

The theme of this year’s Katoomba Men’s Convention is ‘Men of Service: Love, Relationships & family’.  Check out the video.

HBC men are going along on the weekend of March 5/6 and 40 places for accommodation and registration have been booked in anticipation of a big turnout from church.

The cost is $123 for everything for the weekend ($117 concession) and will be well worth it.   James has begun arrangements for everything including accommodation, transport and food.   Contact myself (richard@hunterbiblechurch.org) or James Dean (see AM phone list) if you’d like to come along or find out more.
