Even if you have already made your holiday plans, Summer ’12 promises to be one to remember.

Would you like the usual trip away, or a radical encounter with God?

A health retreat or a chance to gain healing and transformation in body, mind and spirit?

Experience renewal, fresh vision and new ideas at New Wine’s summer conference 2012.

• Encounter God in heartfelt worship
• Learn through his Word and from his Spirit
• Be renewed to know him better
• Be healed and transformed in body, mind and spirit
• Get equipped to serve him in new ways
• Gain fresh vision from what he is doing elsewhere in the world
• Be part of something that’s bigger than any local church

We look forward to welcoming you this summer.

Inspiration by Day

A typical day at New Wine's summer conference

• 7.15am - Early morning Bible teaching
• 9.15-10.30am - Main venue Bible teaching
• 11.15am-12.30pm - Morning seminars
• 2.30-3.30pm - Early afternoon seminars
• 4-5pm - Late afternoon seminars
• 7pm - Evening celebration

For the early birds, we start each day with a 7.15am worship and teaching slot. This is followed by a Bible teaching session, with a guest speaker leading a teaching series throughout the week.

We gather at the end of the day for the evening celebration, where we're joined by a different speaker each evening.

A Different Flavour

There is an additional venue (Venue 2 in Shepton Mallet and Impact in Newark) running in parallel to the main morning and evening sessions. The aim is to deliver a different style of teaching and worship, with inspirational speakers and some of the best up-and-coming worship leaders.

Throughout the Day

Interested in social justice, mission or spiritual growth? How about relationships, leadership or ethics? We've around 100 seminars to choose from, led by some of the most experienced practitioners.

Worship

Worship is at the heart of New Wine. Each year we invite a range of different worship leaders and bands with the aim of inspiring worship that is passionate, intimate, culturally appropriate and facilitates encounter with God.

We have a dedicated venue for worship leaders to meet each other and get connected. Our Worship Leaders' Network aims to gather and equip worship leaders both at our summer conferences and within different regions across the country throughout the rest of the year.

A Day to Rest

On Tuesday for the London and South East and North and East conferences, and Wednesday for the Central and South West conference, there is a reduced programme to give you time to rest, relax, catch up with friends or explore the surrounding area.

There is usually a family celebration or Communion service in the morning, but no seminars throughout the day, and no children's groups until the evening. Many delegates choose to leave the site; others organise social events and activities within their camping village.

Youth Programme

Our aim: to see young people dedicated to Jesus and rooted in his love - giving them a firm foundation for the rest of their lives.

We have dedicated activity and sessions for 12-18s throughout our summer conferences.

New Wine Youth is led by some of the best Christian youth workers in the UK. Not only is there excellent worship, teaching and ministry, but there are parent-free cafes, afternoon sports and fantastic evening gigs.

Kids Programme

Plenty of fun and great Christ-inspired activities to cater for kids and their families.

You'll be offered top quality, tailored kids care across all of our summer conferences.

Our place

The gospel is for everyone.

At New Wine, we believe everyone should be entitled to find a place where they can grow in faith and worship as full members of the Church family.

For extra-special people

Worship, teaching, games and craft activities designed especially for people with special needs, will be held at Our Place, in the morning and during evenings.

In the afternoons, Our Place will be open to families of those who have special needs, so drop in and spend some time together.

Children and teenagers will have the opportunity to attend their own age group venues for the first part of the morning, where they can receive the support they need to participate in activities. Young people can attend the programmes in the main venues.

At the LSE and CSW conferences in Shepton Mallet, there will also be informal seminars for parents, carers and friends in the mornings. Feel free to come and meet with others, chat over a cup of coffee, or just relax in a safe place.

Visit Our Place and experience being together as a worshipping community of differing abilities.

Interpretation for deaf people

At all New Wine summer conferences, the BSL interpretation team led by Signs of God interpret for deaf delegates at the main venues during the main morning and evening sessions, as well as for a selection of daytime seminars.

There will also be a deaf seminar stream running during the Central and South West week in Shepton Mallet.

Seminar feedback

'I was astounded at how fantastic it was. The speaker adapted his sermon very well by using drama to illustrate exactly what he was preaching. This has even more impact on me as deaf person, to see and understand from very expressive signs and gestures.'

'Even now, many weeks later, I recall exactly what was signed. This to me is what preaching should be all about: for the congregation to go home and recall easily what we learnt and to act on it.'

'It was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. God spoke to me so clearly that week and opened my eyes even more to what I am alive for, having been blind for so long. We need more of this.'
