Soul Survivor August 2010 Click on the photos to enlarge

At 10:30am on Wednesday 11th August 10 young people and 5 adults set off from St Mary’s Parish rooms for Soul Survivor 2010. Many hours later we arrived at the Royal Bath and Western showground in Shepton Mallet.
It had been a while since I had been to Soul Survivor myself and for some of our young people it was their first time. It was great to see how much it had grown and this year there were 14,000 people on site. Each day there was a evening and morning meeting where we worshipped and looked at Jesus through the Gospels. The meetings were held in a huge marquee and there was a small overflow tent as they could not fit everyone inside the marquee.
The worship was fantastic and speakers really gave us things to think about. During the rest of the day there were a variety of seminars on themes such as evangelism, the Church as well as separate Christian teaching for boys and girls. There was also the time to relax at a cafe, do artwork in the toolshed or browse the great selection of resources available. In the evening, after the main meeting there was the opportunity to see a film or see a live band.
We all had a great time and it was a brilliant end to my first year, just occasionally sitting and chatting over a hot chocolate under the stars. Special thanks goes to Tracey Nicholls and Helen Nash for organising and doing the cooking that week. We all ate really well and the food was fantastic!
