Grapevine

Well we just got back from our camping weekend (Fri-Tues)@ Grapevine, a Christian worship festival set in Lincoln show ground....
Packed worship meetings with over 5000 in the Big Top!
Absolutely BRILL! The children had their own worship groups to go to, Jelly Beans for Isaac(learning about Joseph's journey), Kingdom Network for Joseph (finding out who is God?)and Powerpack for Matthew (cre8,activ8 getting them to be comfortable with their faith and even blessing people). The littlies stayed with us and although there was an optional Sparkies group for them with parent, we perferred to all go to the Big Top for some Wake up smile!Life looks funny being in a green tent! uplifting worship (waiting now for the preordered CD to come so we can share the music again)and some pretty good preaching. This year's theme was "Forward" and all the talks focused on how to help the church revival by looking forward and doing rather than harping back at yesteryear.... some sound ideas and now up to us to live it day by day; I pray that the momentum we've built up during this refreshing weekend will help us go "forward" as we set out to carry on God's will in our community.
