Awake, Arise! Edinburgh

The darkness in our society is great. All around us, we are seeing the consequences of rejecting God’s good ways: disorder, brokenness and death. We are in a fight for life, for family and for freedom.

But there is hope.

In the midst of fast-moving cultural changes, we have an opportunity to stand up, speak out and shine his light in this dark world. God is calling his people to awake and arise.

Are you ready to respond?

During the evening, Andrea Williams from Christian Concern will provide:

• Stories and news on important legal cases involving Christian freedoms
• Updates on urgent issues in public policy, including education and protection of life
• Ideas for how you can make a difference where God has placed you
• Opportunities to ask questions and access additional resources

It’s time for God’s people to awake and arise. Will you answer the call?

Admission to the event is free.

Don't miss out. Book your ticket today and encourage others to come with you.

If you are unable to join us in Edinburgh on Friday 21 November then why not join us in Glasgow on Saturday 22 November, or Dundee on Monday 24 November? Find out more here.
