Weekend Away

Got back from a youth weekend away last night. Not actually feeling too tired which is quite amazing.

Great weekend where we did loads of activities including, swimming, low ropes course, football, rounders, hand make catapults (youth WMD) and some times of teaching. It was great to see the group of 12 yp come together out of there smaller friendship groups and form one group. It was also fantastic to see so many of them meet with God in such a real way.

Was at the Matrix conference for a few days last week as it was held just down the road from me at High Leigh. Tony Campolo was enthralling and i enjoyed every minute of the sessions he lead. Sally Nash and Robert Beckford were the other keynote speakers and did a good job. It was nice to spend some time being taught and having some space to think and to discuss with the other delegates. Jonny and Jenny Baker lead worship and it was nice to have some contemplative time.

I had no idea you were at the Matrix! I regularly read your blog but managed not only to miss that you were going but fail to meet you! Unbelievable, it's a small world but a big conference. I've posted some stuff up about Matrix as has Lev, Deep Though and Hutchinson. Links on my blog at www.youthblog.org
also profound respect for going straight from Matrix to a residential! Ian
