What is Celebrate?
CELEBRATE is a Holiday Conference for Christians of all ages, organised by a team from Catholic Charismatic Renewal. Our vision is to offer you a spring event which combines good Christian teaching and celebration, with an opportunity to relax and enjoy a short break after the winter – in other words, refreshment for body, mind and spirit for all the family during the Easter Holidays. Watch our taster video.
Most of us are Catholics, but we are always delighted to welcome a good number from other Christian traditions, including some of our conference speakers. We have much to learn from each other and to share and celebrate during the week.
In 2008, the changes in the school holidays meant that we couldn’t hold the Conference during Easter week in Ilfracombe, so we took the opportunity to offer a number of CELEBRATE WEEKENDS around the UK. These were so popular that we ran them again in 2009 and again in 2010!
And now, we look forward to the 2011 Weekends
It all promises to be an exciting time, and once again we’ve assembled teams of gifted people to challenge and inspire us with the Good News, and to entertain us with their wit, wisdom and God-given artistic talents in Macclesfield, Cardiff, Brighton, Southampton, Bristol, and St. Albans. The organising teams worked hard leading up to the Weekends, sensing God’s guidance along the way. We are immensely grateful to everyone involved in the Celebrate, and we thank God for all of you.
It isn’t boring to be a Christian today!
Hoping to see you at one of the 2011 weekends.
In the Peace and Joy of Christ,
Charles Whitehead
Conference Chairman
