Just returned from a trip to Spring Harvest - my 6th in total (I think) but my first week at Skegness since I was 17. A good time was (largely) had by all, including the 23 strong posse we took from St Mark's. For the record here's a few best bits and one or two 'could do better's
Best Bits, in no particular order:
- Inspiring worship in the presence of several thousand other Christians, making me forget myself and become a proper happy clappy (again) for a week
- Excellent preaching keeping me captivated for a whole hour
- The 'think zone' - the opportunity to listen at length to and learn from an excellent communicator, even if I didn't agree with him on everything
- A wholehearted and inspiring commitment to social transformation, at home and overseas
- Catching up with a friend I haven't seen for a decade, who is now married and has two children (just like me)
- 2 year old Asher absolutely loving the all age worship, and his Gran too
- Shabby accomodation for some of our friends, including exploding toasters, bare wires, manky stains, smelly rooms, sticky carpets and a broken oven - sort it out, Butlins!
- Underlying assumption that a commitment to biblical inerrancy is the only real option if you call yourself an evangelical (not universal but nevertheless annoying)
