Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 http://newwordalive.org/news/2010-01/january-update-extra-units-available It's never too late to be changed, equipped and encouraged! We're delighted to announce that there is still space at this year's New Word Alive, 13th - 18th April 2010. We have a wonderful programme lined up that promises to bring great teaching and relevant training, as well as a high quality children's and youth work. Extra On-Site Units Having been ‘sold out' on-site, we now have some units available for you to join us at this year's event. Our bookings line will reopen at 9am on 27th January 2010. Call Haven on 0871 2301911 to make your booking. Event Passes If you prefer you could stay in local off-site accommodation that you book yourself, and then buy event passes which gives you full access to the NWA programme as well as the Haven facilities on our site. B&B prices start from £25 and a self catering cottage from £400 for 6 people. Many have found this to be a great way to combine an inspiring event with a relaxing holiday. More information, including a list of local accommodation, and how to book your event passes are available. On-line Forum We have just launched an on-line forum on our website, which allows you to contact other guests who are coming to or who are interested in New Word Alive. For instance, the forum can be used to advertise or ask for spare accommodation. That way the empty room in your caravan will be used and others are able to attend the event and you share the cost. Similarly you can request or offer help with travel, give tips for getting the most out of the event, share advice on how to organise a group and so on. Visit the forum. Lastly one reminder, Occupancy Information Haven also need to know your occupancy information - the names and ages of those in your units. That information is a great help to us as well, as it allows us to know how many children are coming and so how many helpers we need and so on. So please do pass it on to Haven when you make your final payment. We will send out an update next month giving more detailed information about the programme so you are able to start thinking about what you might attend at the event and how God might change you this year. Mon, 25 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0100 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0100 http://newwordalive.org/news/2010-01/nwa-website-forums-launched What are the Forums? We have just launched the on-line Forums on the New Word Alive website, which allow you to contact other guests who are coming to the event. We have had an equivalent of forums on Facebook, but not everyone is a Facebook fan. The new Forums allow anyone to access and post messages and all from within our own website. What can I use them for? One way the Forums can be used is to advertise or ask for spare accommodation. That way the empty room in your chalet can be filled and others are able to attend the event and you share the cost. Or you can request or offer help with travel, give tips for getting the most out of the event, share advice on how to organise a group and so on. Check the categories for other ways to use the Forums. How do I use them? You can view the Forums without a login, but to post a message you will need to register. It is a separate password from the one you use to buy event passes or media. It should only take a moment or two to register. All you need to do is enter an email, a username, and a password and you will be ready to start posting. Find out more...

For those who were there, this is a great opportunity to listen again to talks that you enjoyed and want to be reminded of, or listen to talks that you couldn't go to at the event but had heard were good. For those who weren't there, this is your chance not to miss out! Alternatively, why not buy some talks on CD or DVD to give to friends who couldn't go, or send to missionaries abroad? Share the great teaching with others. Some people have asked about using the recordings or DVDs of Bible readings in their small groups or Churches. We think this is a great idea and so please feel free! The Question and Answer session with Don Carson from Week 1 and the Richard Cunningham's Evening Celebration from Week 2 are both available for free. Mike Reeves's talks on being Right with God have proven very popular, as have the Bible readings on 1 Corinthians (Vaughan Roberts) and Jonah (Liam Golligher). Terry Virgo's talks on God's Lavish Grace and Graham Beynon's talks on The Shape of Things to Come are also available. Visit www.newwordalive.org/shop to download a talk on mp3 for £1, or buy the CDs for £3.50, or DVDs for £7.

Event passes give you access to the full New Word Alive programme as well as the Haven facilities on site, such as the swimming pool. Adults: £85 Age 3 - 16: £40 (age at time of the event) Age 2 and under: free You might like to know that there is plenty of on-site accommodation available and you will probably find this to be a cheaper and more convenient alternative. Local self catering accommodation will cost at least £50/person but in most cases more. Adding an event pass means adults will pay upwards of £139 each. However accommodation on site is available from £121 per person and of course cuts down your travel. To discuss prices and availability please call Haven on 0871 230 1911. If you would like to purchase event passes please click here to select and buy. Once ordered event passes will be sent out by post in March, along with further information about attending the event.
