You might have already heard about this, but 24-7prayer are joining up with Delirious? and a huge list of other friends for a one-day festival on Sunday 24th May - called the Big Church Day Out - on the incredibly beautiful Wiston House Estate, West Sussex.
From 2.30pm in the afternoon until 10pm late that night, there will be a whole variety of experiences for all the family... with worship bands and speakers, fun stuff for children and activities for young people, an acoustic cafe and other food venues, and our very own 24-7prayer chapel.
Charlotte Terris and her small team have been dreaming up all kinds of creative ideas to turn the 700 year-old Wiston chapel into a beautiful prayer room, based around the Lord's Prayer. It's all very exciting. Tim Jupp, from Delirious, said that the prayer room should become the focus as the day progresses... prayer for the area, and for our nation. I haven't got the time/space here to talk about the 24-7 community taking shape at Wiston, guided by Justin and Ele Blake... but it's all very exciting.
So... we'd love you to be there, if you can come. Already churches have been buying blocks of tickets and booking coaches for the day... up to 10,000 people are expected. For more information, and for tickets, you can click across to the website; http://www.thebigchurchdayout.com
I was thinking of arranging a blogring of anybody's blogs that had photos of the Big Day Out.
Had a quick peek at yours- super interested to hear about Robin and Celia Talbot. Last seen on a Exeter Uni Retreat in 1978 or something. always remember a Word by him on the different character gifts in the Body!!!
You may find my blog strange...but if you can catch my heart...you'll probably be OK.
