Next weekend is Spree West Midlands 2017 – a camping
and activity weekend open to all young people aged 8-15 at
Lenchwood Christian Centre. The programme includes sessions
looking at the Christian faith in a fun and interactive way. This
is the second year for Spree WM, and here are some of the
comments on last year’s camp:
“It was the calmest camp I’ve ever been on and the sunniest
I think!! We all had fun, adults and kids – please pass on my
thanks – the spiritual slot leaders completely nailed it – God was
at work in our gang’s lives.”
“We were so encouraged with
the growth and participation of
our young people and are hoping
to start a Youth Alpha over the
summer as a result of Spree.
Thank you so much!”
“It was great to see the group
come together and encourage one
another in all the activities both spiritual
and physical. It gave us time as leaders to engage with the kids and have fun together.”
“Young people loved the rapping and mentioned they didn’t realise this Christian event
would be like that. They were surprised – in a good way!”
Please pray for a safe, sunny and happy weekend with lots of young people joining in
with all the group sessions and activities. We pray that through this weekend young
people may draw closer to God and be inspired to follow Jesus in their daily lives.
