This summer our family went with a group from church to New Wine, a Christian festival at Shepton Mallet showground. New Wine brings hundreds of people together for teaching, worship and children’s and youth activities. Camping with families and friends from church was brilliant. It enabled new friendships to be made and existing ones to be developed. A real community was formed in the mud, rain and occasional sunshine!
There was teaching for everyone on a variety of subjects with speakers from far and wide. The teaching about resting on the Sabbath will shape our lives as we move forward together as a family. The children’s and youth ministries are exceptional. All children of every age were given space to worship and to learn about our living God. For our two girls it has been a faith changing experience.
Worshipping with a huge number of people is so encouraging and powerful. The Spirit moves you to praise God and the deeper things of God begin to break through.
Please consider joining us all next year. Our children are already looking forward to it. When you give space to God in this busy world then awesome things happen.
