WELCOME

We are so pleased to welcome you to Focus 2015 at

Camber Sands.

Focus is one of the highlights of our year – an

opportunity to go away on holiday with our ever-

growing family of churches, enjoying a week together

with old friends and new. This year we welcome new

friends from Lincoln, Bournemouth and Hastings as

well as many other parts of the country.

We are thrilled to have an extraordinary group

of speakers with us this year. The programme has

plenty for everyone, with inspiring celebrations in

the Big Top, seminars, prayer and worship. There are

also groups for children, youth and students, sporting

activities and a fantastic beach for all the family.

Take a look through this guide to ensure you take

advantage of everything on offer during the week.

We hope you have a wonderful time!

With love,

Hello Focus! We’re really excited about

returning to Camber Sands and having

another amazing week. Our aim is

to build community across the site

and to host you all at various parties

throughout the week.

We have a large team of hosts spread

out across the site and they’re all here

to help. Here’s what we have in store:

• Hosting picnics and parties that

are open to everyone – a great

opportunity to have fun and meet

new people

• Answering your questions about

Focus, helping you find your way

onsite and feeding back any important

information to the Focus team

• Helping connect you with other

people staying around you

PARENTS’ GUIDE TO FOCUS

4342

During the main programmes we

ask that all bicycles are stowed

in the marked areas around the

bigger venues and that they are

locked securely.

The beach is public and so we

recommend that children are

accompanied by an adult at

all times.

Please drop and collect your

children promptly for each of

their sessions.

Children in Kingdom Crawlers -

Kingdom Seekers must be collected

by their parent/guardian at the

end of their sessions. Children

in Kingdom Chasers - Kingdom

Shakers need to be collected at

the specified end times. If you are

happy for your child to leave on

their own, please let us know on

their first day at Focus.

Helper/child ratios are carefully

calculated. It is not possible to

place children in a different age

group from the one allocated.

As demand for the Focus Kids and

Youth programmes is high, full

participation in these sessions is

expected. We encourage parents

to ensure that their children take

advantage of the programme.

Parents are advised that the

Kingdom Chasers, Kingdom

Shakers and Younger Youth groups

will be going to the beach at some

point during the week, as part

of their usual programme. They

will only be taking part in sports

on the beach, and no swimming

will be involved. If you have any

problems or queries, please feel

free to speak to one of the Focus

Kids and Youth Team.

Please do not leave the site when

your child is in our care. It is very

important that we are able to

contact you should your child

need you.

Parents are encouraged to comply

with the recommended bedtimes

for children and youth:

Babies–Year 2: 7.30 pm

Years 3–6: 9.00 pm

Year 7: 10.00 pm

Year 8: 10.15 pm

Year 9: 10.30 pm

It’s no secret that God wants to meet

with us. This year, children aged 2 to

various ways in which we can have

‘FaceTime’ with our Father in heaven.

Through looking at various stories in

the Bible, Focus Kids will learn that we

can spend time with God in worship,

prayer, his word, and creation. With

lots of fantastic activities to enjoy, we

hope your child will have fun growing

closer to God and learning how to have

fulfilling encounters with him.

It is of the utmost importance that you sign your child in each day, taking a ‘kiddie

card’ and checking that a leader is aware that your child has arrived. It is also

helpful if you can ensure that your child is fed and changed before you leave him

or her – they are much more likely to settle well if they are comfortable. At the end

of the session, your child will only be released to you when you hand the ‘kiddie

card’ over to your child’s helper. In no circumstances should you collect your child

without telling the leader that you have done so. FOCUS KIDSFOCU

dance and craft. Evening sessions will recap the morning sessions, as well as

include exciting dress codes and challenges that will test your wits but will make

you enjoy yourself beyond belief.

Children in this age group will be allowed to leave their group at the specified

end times. If you would rather collect your child than let them go around the site

on their own, you must make sure you are there to pick them up at the end of the

session. The children’s leaders cannot take responsibility for children outside of

the running times of the childrens’ programme.

SCHOOL YEARS 3 TO 6

Children in School Years three to six will be overseen by Jess McLeod

and Ed Crowther.

We know that God created us to be in relationship with him, and to spend real

time in his presence. He wants us to do this because when we spend ‘FaceTime’

with God, great things happen. In our venues this year, we’ll be helping your child

connect with God through exciting activities and brilliant talks.

Our Kingdom Chasers and Shakers will be learning about various encounters the

people of the Bible have had with God, through worship, prayer, his word, and his

creation. We will go on a journey together to encounter God ourselves, whether it’s

for the first time or the latest of many. God is great because he loves us and wants

to be part of our daily lives!

Your support could help in one of the following ways:

• £50 covers the accommodation for a single parent and

their child to have a camping holiday at Focus.

• £180 provides the ticket for a low income guest to come

from London to Camber Sands for an amazing week.

• £600 gives a struggling family of four the opportunity

to have life changing experiences at Focus.

Try Harder

Monday

Graham Tomlin

If you work hard, you will succeed. That’s a

message that our culture tells us all the time,

and so often in the church we believe it as

well. Pelagius was a British monk in Rome

in the fourth century who said that if we all

tried a bit harder, we would become more

holy and get close to God. Is that the way it

works? St Augustine didn’t think so, and this

seminar will explain why.

What’s a Nice God Like You Doing

in a Place Like This?

Tuesday

Jane Williams

Some of the most persistent heresies are

Docetism and Arianism. One – Docetism –

denies that Jesus was really a human being.

He did miracles, he offered forgiveness of

sins, he was raised from the dead, and he

saves us. Surely all of this suggests that the

most important things we need to say about

Jesus are not about his humanity but about

his divinity. The other – Arianism – suggests

that Jesus was a bit like God and a bit like

us, but not exactly either. So this session will

explore why everything we believe about

the saving work of God in Christ collapses if

he wasn’t as human as you and me, and as

divine as God the Father.

You Don’t Need to Read

the Old Testament

Wednesday

Mark Scarlata and Chris Tilling

The heresy known as Marcionism is based

on the belief that the character and

teachings of Jesus do not fit with the God

of the Old Testament. If wrath, anger, and

ruthlessness are evident in the actions of

God in the Old Testament, surely this God

cannot be the same as Jesus, who lived and

spoke of love, kindness and mercy? This

session will uncover why we need the Old

Testament, and how the whole Bible reveals

the same God to us.

Knowledge is Everything

Thursday

Sara Schumacher and Jane Williams

The heretics who concentrated on faith

being all about knowledge are usually called

‘Gnostics’. If Jesus is really the revelation

of God’s truth, we have to discover why

God chose to share that truth not just as

‘knowledge’, but as a human life lived and

a call to follow. What does it do to our

understanding of God and of ourselves if we

think of faith as essentially about knowing

all the right things and having all the right

answers? How does our physicalness form

and shape how we live and act

as Christians?

Liberation FromSunday – Thursday

2.30 pm – 3.30 pm

Seminar Marquee 1

Hosted by Will Van Der Hart

Liberation is at the heart of our spiritual focus in 2015. Many of us wrestle with

emotions that limit our experience and ability to live in the present. This stream

of practical, spiritual and psychological seminars will assist you in realising the

freedom that Jesus has already given to you. Introduction to Christian Mindfulness

is led by Baptist pastor and emotional health expert, Shaun Lambert.

Liberation from Worry

Sunday

We all worry form time to time,

but some people find that worry has

become a permanent feature of their mental

landscape. Trying to simply ‘stop worrying’

is not possible for the majority of persistent

worriers, but there is hope and liberation

through a combination of psychological and

spiritual tools and insights.

Liberation from Guilt

Monday

Many people are paralysed with guilt. Guilt

robs them of their freedom, peace and joy.

It can make a person feel unacceptable or

isolated. Jesus’ forgiveness is the ultimate

remedy for guilt, but even for those who

believe, guilty feelings can still present

a lingering problem. This talk aims to

differentiate between our true guilt, for

which forgiveness is needed, and false guilt,

for which a psychological approach will help.

Liberation from Perfectionism

Tuesday

Perfectionism is the enemy of grace, yet

it is a problem rarely addressed in the

home, workplace or church. Perfectionists

are often plagued by dissatisfaction,

exhaustion and frustration. The way out of

perfectionism, begins with a change of heart

about the problem itself. Find grace and

a liberated worldview in this seminar.

Mindfulness is our universal human capacity

Hosted by Ken Costa and Pete Wynter

Does the Quran say what

Isis Practices?

Sunday

James Harding

If not what does it say? Radical Islam is

presenting unprecedented challenges and

confusion. How can Christians respond and

what does the future hold?

Why do we Distrust our Leaders?

And How do we Fix it?

Monday

Ken Costa, Pete Wynter and Phil Wall

The emerging generation are slow to trust and

wary of authority. The shape of leadership

is changing. What will it take to influence

effectively in the coming decades and why

must Christians engage in leading well?

Does Jesus Turn a Generation

Away from God?

Tuesday

Amy Orr-Ewing

Some follow. Some reject. Some can’t decide.

If the gospel is good news, why are so many

put off? Jesus claims to be the only way to

the Father and in the process becomes a

hindrance to so many who might otherwise

want to know God. Our multi-faith pluralistic

world demands less exclusivity, so how do

we respond?

Is Jesus a Feminist?

Wednesday

Georgi Sheaf and Shelley Hartland

’Feminism’ can feel like a dirty word for

some Christians. In the church it seems we

rarely hear a woman identifying herself

as a feminist, let alone Jesus as one. In this

seminar, hosted by Women in Leadership

Network London, we look to define the term

‘Feminism’ and ask a panel of men

and women: is Jesus a feminist? We’ll

grapple with how we engage with issues

of gender equality. Join us for this unique

conversation on one of the Church’s

hottest topics.

Seminar Marquee 2

Hosted by Will Van Der Hart

Ready to Date

Monday

Getting ready to date positively, is about

developing an awareness of your real

intentions and ambitions, and an ability

to express who you really are as a person.

This seminar helps you to ask the

questions (and offers some answers) that

will have the biggest impact on you both

being and finding a successful date.

How to Date Well

Tuesday

Regardless of the setting, a good date

depends on connection, chemistry and

character. This seminar helps you to foster

good connection, identify good chemistry

and value good character.

Your Relationship and the Future

Wednesday

How do you know if your date has

relationship potential? How can you know

if your relationship has a future? This

seminar helps you to discern the way

ahead and also gives some insights into

how to respond if things are not moving in

a positive direction.

Out of Hours: ‘Date My Mate’ Event

Wednesday

Out Of Focus – Queen Vic Pub

You’re a single Christian and you bring

a mate who is a single Christian of the

opposite sex, who you don’t want to date

but someone else might like to. Couples

rotate throughout the venue spending

4 minutes introducing each other to a

succession of other couples for an hour.

The second hour is a general social mingle.

First choice matches are given a free glass

of bubbly.

Let’s Be HonestSunday – Thursday

4.00 pm – 5.00 pm

Seminar Marquee 1

Hosted by Amy Orr-Ewing

Let’s be honest…

Can I believe in a God

who does not answer

my prayers?

Sunday

Amy and Frog Orr-Ewing

Sometimes when we pray,

nothing appears to change.

The Bible tells us that God

hears our prayers and loves

to answer them, so why

does he sometimes seem

to be silent? In this session

we will look at how we can

understand the times of

silence, and keep hoping

when God doesn’t intervene.



who allows suffering?

Monday

Simon Edwards

The problem of suffering is

one of the most intimidating

objections a non-Christian

can raise. This session will

look at how suffering can

open up gospel-directed

conversations rather than

shut them down.

Let’s be honest...


who commands killing

in the Old Testament?

Tuesday

Amy Orr-Ewing

In the Old Testament God

commanded various wars.

In some of these he appears

to have condoned the

wiping out of entire groups

of people. Is God genocidal?

In this session we will look at

how we can understand war

in the Old Testament.

Let’s be honest...

Can I believe in the

resurrection?

Wednesday

Simon Edwards

Secular historians accept

that a carpenter from

Nazareth named Jesus

(called the Christ) did

exist and was crucified.

This session will explore

the historical case for

the resurrection of Jesus

Christ, through the eyes of a

sceptical former lawyer.


There are questions

I struggle to answer.

Thursday, Q&A Panel

Amy and Frog Orr-Ewing,

Simon Edwards

Many of us carry big

questions around with

us, about how our faith

fits in with the world

around us. This is an

opportunity to come and

ask your questions to our

panel of apologists, and

to be encouraged in the

confidence that we can have

in our faith.

AIR-CONDITIONINGThere is no air-conditioning in

AUDIOAll the talks are recorded

and will be available on

htb.org after Focus.

You can also watch the

Big Top Celebration from

your chalet on channel 7.

BABYSITTINGBabysitting will not be

centrally co-ordinated as

to be supervised in their

chalets at all times. Instead,

we encourage parents

and guardians to arrange

babysitting between

themselves. Alternatively,

the Tearfund Café will be

showing the main Morning

and Evening Celebrations

live on screen for parents

and guardians who would

like to keep their children

with them and still be a part

of the adult programme.

BANKINGThere are three cash

machines on-site. One at

the Nisa Local shop,

one at Pontin’s Main

Reception and one in the

KindomCome Venue.

Seminar Marquee 3

Can I be Anti-Abortion and Pro-Choice? SundayJonathan Jeffes

Does being a Christian automatically mean we

are anti-abortion? What exactly do those in

favour of abortion mean by the world ‘choice’?

Speaking from twenty years’ experience of

post-abortion counselling, Jonathan will look at

the issue from an unusual pastoral perspective.

466,000 Reasons to Get Out of BedMondayTim Matthews

St Swithun’s Bournemouth was launched

at Focus last year, with fifteen people

subsequently moving from London to

Bournemouth. Since then there has been an

explosion of life, with hundreds of people

coming to worship and transform the area.

Tim will tell stories of mistakes and mayhem,

through which God is moving in great power.

Caring For Ex-Offenders (CFEO): The power of MentoringTuesdayPaul Cowley and Jonathan Aitken

Paul Cowley and Jonathan Aitken invite you

to grapple with one of the most pressing issues

in our society – how we meet the spiritual

and practical needs of the 77,000* men

and women leaving prison every year and,

through that, make our society a safer place to

live in. Through mentoring, the church has the

power to put kingdom love into practice and

you have the power to change one person’s

life for good. Are you up for the challenge?

Ambassadors for Christ: Capital Vision 2020WednesdaySimon Downham

At the heart of the London vision is

the raising up and releasing of 100,000

ambassadors – disciples who represent Jesus

in the whole of their lives. How can we live

with power and purpose wherever we find

ourselves in our daily life in the city? This

seminar will give you vision, call you to a

new intentionality and direct you to the

resources to do this well.

Made for More?ThursdayIan Dyble

Ever felt that you weren’t quite hitting the

mark? Does it seem that life isn’t all that

you’d hoped it would be? Do you dream

of more? Former HTB curate, Ian Dyble,

Priest in Charge at St Thomas’ Norwich, will

be looking at how some lessons from King

David’s early life might just help us to reach

our potential.
