One-to-One evangelism
One-to-One evangelism @ Speakers Corner, Hyde Park, London.
“Evangelism is not a monologue, but a dialogue”. – Jim George”
Speakers Corner in London’s Hyde Park is the oldest free speech platform in the world. People won the right to speak in mass protests in the 1860s and early 1870s. Some people believe the tradition is connected to the right of the condemned to a last speech before being hung at the Tyburn gallows, a practice that stopped at the end of the 18th century. Every Sunday people from all sorts of convictions come to Hyde Park in the afternoon to spead their message or to have fun.

‘BodyBuilders’ Houseparty 2023
‘BodyBuilders’ Houseparty 2023 starts tonight at 7.30pm.
We will be squeezed, squashed, stuffed, scrunched, packed, compressed and jammed into various rooms at our Church venue in Bournemouth. Dorset.
We are planning to invade The Llittledown Centre, in the swimming pool can anyone beat The Moose on the Crusher Assault Course?
In Swanage can we find that one ice-cream shop in the UK that sells liquorice, yes, that aromatic black substance ice-cream (drooling at the very thought of it!).
A night-time hike over Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve.
And to top it all off our last activity of the weekend a visit to Avon Heath Country Park!
I am shattered just looking at the programme for the long weekend!
Then throw in a great team of helpers, a little bit of chill time, some Bible teaching from yours truly and some indoor games activities, and of course the food, it is beyond “Delicious!”
Me thinks it all adds up to one unforgettable weekend!
