Friends, you should have seen it! You should have been here to experience 835 youth from throughout the United Kingdom (even some coming from Denmark - thanks to the Danish youth leader, Thomas Rasmussen)descending upon the Newbold College campus this past Sabbath!
According to coordinator, Kay Choudary, the day was designed to provide youth with a high spiritual experience similar to that of the New Testament church (ACTS 2:42), a coming together to search the Word, to fellowship, to share a meal, to sing and pray - leaving refreshed, reinvigorated in the Lord.
The day began with back to back preaching by seven dynamic speakers followed by dining delights of Chef Zak Ambrus. There were nineteen afternoon workshops from which to choose: Sex & Spirituality-Do They Mix?, Prayer-How to Get Really Real with God, Cooking from the Garden of Eden, Employed by the World but Working for God, ValueGenesis Report, Using Art Therapy to Sort Out Emotional Baggage, How to Conduct Actual, Practical Outreach, Expressing Your Faith Through Technology, to name just a few of the options.
The Sabbath concluded with the baptism of Tetanda conducted by Sam Neves, pastor of the Wimbledon Church. Following sundown, the place to be was at the Stanborough Press booth where Christian books and CDs moved quickly off the shelves. Debbie McReynolds coordinated the supper food booths(Caribbean foods, jacketed potatoes and salad, vege dogs and hamburgers, desserts, drinks and popcorn). The day concluded with a Sacred Concert organized by Trevor Johnson - the best sounds that the UK has to offer in musical groups.
You musn't miss out.... Mark your calendars for Sabbath, February 26, 2011 for the next ACTS: Newbold Youth Day of Fellowship. We look forward to hosting you.
