Dear Friends
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.
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!
Just a comment on the 2009 weekends and the 2010 Conference, which is also now over.
For those of you who attended any of the events, we hope you and your
families enjoyed the refreshment, the teaching and being with friends
old and new. The organising teams worked hard leading up to the
Conference and 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. We're particularly grateful too to the staff at
John Fowler Holidays and at Ilfracombe Arts College, trusting us with the
full use of their
recently expanded and improved premises.
And so, we look forward to the 2010 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 St Albnans, Brighton,
Bristol and Southampton
It isn’t boring to be a Christian today!
Hoping to see
you at one of the 2010 weekends.
In the Peace
and Joy of Christ
Charles Whitehead,
Conference Chairman
