Celebrate 2009 Weekends
           
FAITH & FUN FOR ALL THE FAMILY
             
During 2008 we ran several CELEBRATE events around the UK, and almost 3,000 of you attended! We are delighted to say that the teams have agreed to organise another Celebrate Weekend in 2009.  

It was wonderfull to see how successful they were and we hope and pray they will be even more popular in 2009.
   
... Now listen!  Today I am giving you a choice between prosperity and disaster, between life and death.  I have commanded you today to love the Lord your God and to keep his commands, laws and regulations by walking in His ways...
[Deut 30: 14-16]

The 2008 Weekends were a new experience for us all!  Joel's Bar, Guildford, Manchester, Southampton, Midlands (Princethorpe), St Albans, Brighton and Bristol were all great successes.  We strove to provide a warm, welcoming and expectant atmosphere for everyone, so that our times together would help us draw closer to God and  be more confident in our faith.  We give thanks to God and pray for all those who were involved in planning the events of 2008.
Testimony

We recently received this testimony from a first time attendee at a 2008 Celebrate Weekend.
She described the experience as "gob-smacking" and came away full of encouragement and refreshed in her faith.  Asked what stood out for her - she immediately said the whole experience, and on reflection highlighted the talk by David Payne on "Where is God?" with his references to the Holy Land.  Mark Gyde's talk on Our Father's love was thought provoking, and the talk by John Vaughan-Neil on Catholicism and evangelisation struck a chord - why don't Catholics evangelise like other faiths? 

She was overwhelmed by the variety of workshops on offer for all ages and the joy and the sense of renewal experienced. The Worship was uplifting, the music was wonderful and she was particularly affected by the singing in tongues.

The Cardinal (the principal celebrant at the Saturday morning Mass) was "witty" and also delighted with the response in St Albans. Asked whether she would attend again - she said "YES" - but only if it were another weekend, family and work commitments would have prevented her attending a week-long Celebrate. She would strongly encourage others to "see for themselves", it's just the boost required for anyone whose faith feels stale. Her first prayer session was filled with emotion, her last with delight at having shared such a wonderful experience with so many familiar faces
