Setting up camp on the Friday evening we wondered what was in store for us.... atthew and Joseph registered for the Powerpack group (for sessions 1845-2100 and 1045-1300)as we listened to Grapevine fm, broadcasting Christian music and the Big Top main celebrations and speakers...
Isaac and Benjamin were eager to join in the Jelly Beans tent for fun (which they would do over the whole camp 1030-1300)on Saturday morning. With Only Leah to join in the Big Top celebrations we had time to listen and worship, reflect and pray...
To be amongst so many Christians is truly uplifting.... day to day life can make you fel like a minority at a times... but here... to be immersed in worship... you can feel the power of the Holy Spirit working amongst us, feeding us with the love of God....
Benjamin and Isaac joined us for the evening celebrations (one or t'other falling asleep in a buggy!) and Matthew and Joseph would make their way to us for the end when their Powerpack session had finished.
We stayed until Tuesday this year but didn't quite make it to the finale celebration.... however this year for the first time, they did a family celebration bringing together all the children's groups to have a celebration of our very own. Puppets speaking a message to the children as well songs and sketches talking about working together whilst all being different. Our two little Jelly Beans even went up on the main stage to join in "The Jelly Bean Jive"! with two rather bleary eyed proud parents looking on.
