LWPT visits CRE
October saw the largest CRE UK ( Christian Resources Exhibition ) at Sandown Park , Esher . LWPT didn ’ t have a stand this year but our CEO , Ian Buchanan , visited the event to see if we should attend next year .
Ian commented , “ It reminded me of why we are changing . It ’ s a valid place for Christians to obtain the latest resources for ministry but we are offering so much more . Whether it ’ s the development of preaching , plus supporting resources , or simply tuition grants to students studying for local ministry , LWPT offers more than just resources . We want to support and develop the next generation of Christians leaders ( lay and clerical ) in UK churches . But we ’ re happy to supply resources to those who need them .”
If you attended a CRE event recently we ’ d love to hear your views . Email Ian at
ian . buchanan @ lwpt . org . uk and let him know why you visited and the importance of the resources you buy for your local ministry .
Coming up in Preach magazine , Issue 34
In the next issue of Preach this month we give focus to the conflict in Ukraine . What do we turn to when war breaks out ? What do we read when we ’ re in a spiritual battle ? When Russia invaded Ukraine , Psalm 31 became the call from the faith community in Ukraine - Mark Woods from the Bible Society explains its context . Carol Tomlin from the Kingdom School of Theology writes a sermon based on Psalm 23 in the Pentecostal style , while Liz Shercliff from the Diocese of Chester writes about preaching on the psalms with feeling . We ’ ll also hear about psalms , preachers and stories from development charity All We Can . Regular contributors for Preach are tackling the Psalms of War brief with excitement so there will be fresh views and gems of wisdom in their columns too . It is a time for psalms .
Sign up to membership by the end of December to be sure of receiving your copy of Preach magazine , Issue 34 , Psalms of War .
