A weekend conference, held by CWCI. We have talks and activites lead by experienced and real Christians, who walk the Christian life and know what it's like. People who have really lived their faith.
Come escape the everday and connect with God.
We love seeing all our lives enlightened, enriched and empowered through this time away with God.
​
“ I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe...”
(Ephesians 1:18-20)
WHAT IS E3?

"Stretching into the Future” – what a great topic! I am looking forward to our sharing together what this might mean in each of our lives. As we stretch, we move a little from where we are – up and out! When we wake up in the morning we often stretch and this helps us get up and get going. Isaiah 54:2 urges God’s people to stretch out and enlarge their tent curtains and deepen their stakes. At our 2018 conference, let’s consider how we can do this.
​
Life doesn’t always make this easy. Sometimes the situation which we find ourselves in can already stretch us beyond what we thought we can bear. Our current “tent” may be pitched in a dark place. We can hardly see outside it - there seems to be little light or hope and we have no strength to “stretch out and lengthen the cords”! So, how can God help us do this?
In Isaiah 43:18 God says “do not dwell on the past (or the present); behold I am doing a new thing”! So what “new thing” can God do for each one of us, whatever our circumstances, if we let Him? How can God help us to “stretch the tent wide… lengthen the cords … strengthen the stakes and enlarge the place of our tent”?
For me, enlarging the place of my tent and stretching into the future meant a huge change in my life from 30 years of enjoyable, fulfilling, satisfying and financially secure school teaching to moving into an unknown international ministry which, as far as I could see, had no curtains or tent pegs – or money?! But God provided beyond anything I could have imagined and I would love to share some of that journey with you. So I look forward to our time together at beautiful Stanwell Tops as we see what God has to teach us and encourage us as He fills us with hope to “stretch into the future”.

OUR THEME FOR 2018
“Sing, O, desolate one! Fill the air with song.
Trust God and stretch your tent curtain wide and spread out.
Don’t be influenced by what is behind.
Break the power of the past. You will forget your shame.
The LORD your redeemer is your husband
and he will welcome you back with enormous compassion.
He says, ‘It is with everlasting love that I am tenderly caring for you.
My love and peace won’t leave you.’
Though afflicted God will rebuild you
with sparkling jewels and precious stones.
Stretch out for Christ Jesus who has so wondrously stretched out for you.
You will go out with joy and be led into a whole and complete life.
God is beckoning us to Jesus.
I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back."
Isaiah 54 and Philippians 3:12-16 NIV and Message

Leanne, 43
I really like coming to E3 because it is time when I can shut out the busy-ness of everyday life (kids, home, work, responsibilities and focus on God. I always come home refreshed from the gifted speakers and spending time with friends, new and old.
Denise, 52
It's time out for me in a busy world to hear God speak through His Word and other women. It’s a place where God can grow and change me in Him through worship, practical bible teaching and warm fellowship with other women. E3 to me is like being lifted into a foretaste of heaven for a short while equipping me to live for Jesus where He has placed me back on earth.
Christine, 34
I always find E3 a break for my soul, where I can stop and get closer to God, hear from him and get refreshed and
encouraged. I am so encouraged by hearing other ladies’ stories and I find I unwind just that bit and am able to trust Him more, and let Him in just that bit more, and He never disappoints, always coming to meet me.
OUR SPEAKERS
AND A BIT ABOUT THEM
Jenny Croucher
​
Jenny is excited to open E3 2018 by focusing on the desolate woman from Isaiah 54. She will challenge you to identify with her desolation and the difficulty of moving forward to stretch out your tent pegs when there is no vision of a future.
Jenny has been a KYB leader for over 20 years and through studying the Bible she loves to discover exciting treasures to share. God has called her to share how to ‘live your faith’ and through life’s trials she has learned that He is faithful and can be trusted.
