Caffe Zero

Monday August 10, 2026 11:00am - 12:30pm BST

Zero

If the main meetings feel a bit much and you need a space with no worship or Christian jargon - Zero might be the place for you. These morning sessions will be interactive and will meet you where you're at - with any questions and doubts you might bring with you. Tom and Jess will host this venue all week so you'll get to know them really well. Each morning session will be roughly an hour (at the same time as the Main Meeting) and will often hear from the main stage speaker from the night before.

Don't forget, there's also some afternoon sessions in Zero too.

Where is your treasure?

Monday August 10, 2026 2:00pm - 2:45pm BST

The Clubhouse

Jesus tells us that “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” What we do with the money (and stuff) we have is closely connected to what, or who, we love. So how can we use what we have for Jesus? The choices we make about how we get and spend money, and where it goes in the meantime, can set patterns for our whole lives. What else does Jesus have to say about money? How can our approach to money help us think about the things we care about – living in fair and safe communities, and taking care of nature, for example? Come and unpack what the Bible has to say and what it might look like in practice in the 21st century to follow Jesus with our money.

Whether we call it feel low, depression, sadness, or melancholy - we all feel it from time to time.
But when it lingers, sticks or begins to weigh us down what can we do? What’s the difference? And what do we need to watch for?
