Lynette Brooks - Kintsugi Hope

PREVIOUS EVENT!

October 2022 at Mulberry House Hotel, Chelmsford Road, High Ongar, CM5 9NL (on the A414 itself). 10.15am - 2pm.

SEASONS OF LIFE

Lynette is Relationship Manager at Kintsugi Hope. Kintsugi Hope is a charity striving to make a difference to people's mental wellbeing.

We all pass through seasons in our spiritual, emotional and physical lives, and we can be honest with God no matter what season we are in. The ‘season’ may last a day, months or years – but God is with us, knows us and sees us in every season. We all experience times when we feel full of joy and hope and times when we feel overwhelmed, times when God’s presence is almost tangible and times when we feel disconnected and God seems far away. Lynette will talk about spiritual seasons of Winter (rest), Spring (hope), Summer (fruitfulness) and Autumn (Pruning). In looking at the seasons we find ourselves, not based on the weather or how old we are, but on our spiritual ‘season’, we can be more aware of and embrace what God may be doing in our lives. Be encouraged through teaching and time for reflection, as we discover together that with God, there is hope in every season.

'Kintsugi' (金継ぎ) is a Japanese technique for repairing pottery with seams of gold. The word means 'golden joinery' in Japanese. This repairs the brokenness in a way that makes the object more beautiful, and even more unique than it was prior to being broken. Instead of hiding the scars it makes a feature of them. The charity aims to see a world where mental and emotional health is understood and accepted, with safe and supportive communities for everyone to grow and flourish.

Lynette started her working life as a nurse and Health Visitor, then left the NHS to go to Bible school, followed by a season on team at a Jamaican school. Lynette was a member of the CWR team at Waverley Abbey House, where she worked for many years in a variety of roles. She loves helping people to grow and flourish.

TO BOOK please ring 01277 367124 or email admin@nctuk.org The day costs £26.50 which includes the 2 course lunch (and a financial gift for our speaker).

CATHERINE PRICE will display her handmade cards, pendants, paintings and cushions for sale. Ideas for Christmas or birthdays?! A percentage of the pendant sales goes to Kintsugi Hope: CLICK HERE

at Mulberry House Hotel, Chelmsford Road, High Ongar, CM5 9NL.

After quitting the pop world, Cindy turned to religion and became the first presenter to be signed to Premier Christian Radio. Cindy will share her story and also encourage us with a Bible message: Do you suffer from Imposter Syndrome? Do you wonder why God could love YOU? You need to hear that there is nothing you can do today to make God love you more .... and there is nothing you can do today to make God love you less.

Cindy began her career as a singer with the pop-folk group, The Settlers, who had a Top 40 hit with ‘The Lightning Tree’. Cindy’s Christian faith brought her into contact with many famous Christian faces. Cindy has previously worked at Radio 4, Radio 2, and Radio 1 as well as LBC and Capital Radio. In 1995 she was the first presenter recruited to the team for Premier Christian Radio as a broadcaster. Cindy became an ordained priest in 2008.
