A colder start to the day here at the Hall, but with everything looking fresh with a heavy dew on the ground, what a beautiful place this is!

If you want to see an update on what is happening around the Hall, then our newsletter for April has just been sent out by email.  There will be printed version mailed to those without or not using online techno stuff later in the month.

Meanwhile here is the link to our Newsletter.

This weekend we have around 140 ladies at our Long Weekend Ladies Conference and the place is just buzzing.  Then next week a complete change – there will be over 100 young people aged between 11 and 13 years old at our ‘Connect’ program.

Then that’s it!  We have one week to move out of the old Conference Hall, as it will be demolished to make way for the new one.  Its exciting times, but we are trusting God for His provision both in terms of finance and prayer partners to stand with us as we go ahead with this project.

Then of course we have Easter to look forward to.  As many of you may be heading off on holiday now school is out, we wish you a happy Easter, remembering the real reason for the season!

With greetings from all the staff here at Capernwray Hall.

The world is such a small place!

I called in at the dining room to have breakfast with a few of our holiday guests this morning, and was pleased to find that an ex Capernwray colleague who had been driving by on his Motorbike had come to visit.  A student in 1994, staff in 1997 and now working abroad in a country torn by strife, we got to chatting about how difficult it is to find past members of our student body.

Surely, as there is so much available in terms of social networking, it cannot be too difficult to find people who have passed through our lives here at Capernwray Hall?  As one person sitting here writing this blogg, Tweeting and communicating on Facebook with future/past guests and students, I am thinking that perhaps as you sit reading this, you may know of someone who has been here in the past, or who is coming in the future.

Capernwray Hall, England and Capernwray Holidays are the official Facebook pages where people can post general comments or you can follow us @Capernwrayhall on Twitter.  There are also our Alumni records where you can try find lost friends and add and ammend your current details if you wish.  You can even post elsewhere on this WordPress blogg!

So why not pass this on to someone you may know, and lets get reconnected!

Our holidays secretary has been extremely busy of late.  I passed by her desk yesterday and found a pile of envelopes waiting to go in the post.  Yes the holiday season approaches fast!

We start this weekend with the first of our Ladies’ Conferences, followed by a new venture called ‘Choices’ where you can decide from 10 different activities on offer, with the usual social events and great Bible teaching each day.  A second Ladies’ conference and a childrens’ holiday follow on.

There are many other holidays on offer over the school holidays in summer, some of which are now full – so don’t miss out – book soon!

Capernwray Holidays

Capernwray will be slightly different in appearance this summer – yes the usual fun activities and outings, the coffee shop (Beehive), courtyard socials, good food, and excellent Bible Teaching…… but where will the old conference hall have gone?

The week after Easter sees the contractors come in and remove the old to replace it with the new.  Talking of which, that sounds like a good point – God does much the same!  When we invite him in, he demolishes the old (well maybe not with a big ball on a long chain!), and builds the new.  It may be a long spiritual process, but we are hoping the replacement of the physical – the old conference hall – with a nice shiny new one, will take under one year.  Of course we still need to be able to pay for it all.  If you do help or have helped already with either prayers or finance, then we are extremely grateful.  However, if you would like to be involved either financially or in prayer then please do join us.
