WELCOME TO SM2015

THE GUIDE TO THE GUIDE

Welcome to Summer Madness, we’re so excited to share this year’s festival with you. Every year we try and make a number of improvements all over the festival site and programme to make your weekend as excellent as possible. We’ve been listening to your suggestions and changing things up where you told us they didn’t work. Having said that, last year was excellent and we have high expectations for 2015!

On each of the pages that follow, every venue has its own colour: be that on the map, in the seminar pages or on the programme guide.

For example, the Big Top is shown as a red circus tent on the map.

To see what’s happening in the Big Top, look in the guide book for the red page.

Many of you are here with friends and in groups so we hope that you do take some time to share your experiences and learning from the mainstage and seminar programmes. We’ve deliberately cleared a space in the programme each morning so that you can meet as a group to discuss what’s going on. We have a packed program of seminars and workshops in the afternoons and a bountiful supply of musicians and venues to keep you entertained in the evenings. This year we have ramped up the fun activities and sports which will also get the competitive spirit flowing.

This year we are releasing all of the mainstage talks, seminars and debates on one 4GB memory stick. We call it Total Recall and it’s packed with all the sights and sounds of SM15. This little beauty will allow you to ‘revisit’ all of those bits of the programme that you missed or don’t want to forget. And all of this comes in at the bargain basement price of £10 and is available at the Bookwell on Tuesday morning before you leave.

Once again we expect God will do wonderful things at the camp and we look forward to hearing stories of changed lives and renewed faith. So relax, have fun, be open to God and enjoy the festival.

Ps. If you are tweeting about this years’ festival make sure to add #SM15

GROUND RULES

EMERGENCIES

1. Please show care and consideration for everyone on-site and for the site itself.

2. Smoking is not allowed anywhere on-site.

In the case of an emergency, please contact your sub-camp leader or the campsite office. Medical help is available 24 hours a day. If you need medical help just ask at the St. John Ambulance area or any member of staff.

3. Alcohol must not be brought into or consumed on-site.

QUIET PLEASE

4. No-one who is intoxicated will be permitted to either enter or remain on the site.

PLEASE be quiet at night. If you want to stay up late, please respect those who are trying to sleep. Noise carries across the campsite at night. A strict quiet curfew will be enforced in the camping area from 01:00 onwards.

5. Wristbands or passes must be worn at all times to obtain entrance to all events.

6. No mixed sleeping (unless married).

7. Tents must be at least 3 metres apart and should not be pitched without permission from the sub-camp leader.

8. Do not cook inside tents other than the designated cook tents.

9. No camp fires or disposable barbeques to be used on the grass.

EVENT CREW Our Event Crew work long hours to make your festival experience trouble-free and enjoyable as possible. They have volunteered their time for you, so why not give them a smile (or a couple of your sweets) to let them know they’re appreciated?

ACCESS TO THE BIG TOP Access to the Big Top is solely available via the Tearfund Café.

LOST WRISTBANDS

11. Valuables left in tents or cars are left entirely at the owner’s risk.

If you lose your wristband the cost of a replacement is £5.00. These will only be replaced if verified by your leader (in person) and if ID is presented at the Admin Tent.

12. Litter must not be left around the site as there are plenty of bins available. Use them!

Crossing into any area demarcated by red and white tape is forbidden (this will constitute trespassing, and is punishable by law).

13. No pets to be kept on-site. This is a festival run by humans for humans. Pets are not humans.

Summer Madness wishes to make it clear that it does not favour sectarian propaganda or proselytizing within the Christian fellowship and anyone involved in these practices will be escorted off-site. This means that any group or individual which uses the SM Festival and its facilities for such purposes does so against the spirit of the event and could face a ban from future events.

10. No unauthorised vehicles allowed in the festival village area.

LEADERS’ RESPONSIBILITIES Those who are identified on bookings as leaders are responsible for their group. Leaders should not allow campers under their care to go off-site without their permission or without a specific time at which to report back. Leaders should not go off-site without leaving some other adult responsible for their group and should inform the sub-camp leader of this change. In the case of an emergency, we need to be able to contact the leader as soon as possible. Your group is your responsibility!

Summer Madness reserves the right to cancel any booking (be it that of any individual or group) that the organisers deem necessary and escort all concerned parties off the premises if these ground rules are not observed.

SATURDAY SEMINARS 14:00

SOUL SISTA #1 - #HAPPYSOLO Love For Life | Seminar One Happy with who you are? Ever wish that you looked perfect, that your friends were always nice to you and that guys always noticed you? In order to find happiness in who we are, we must find our worth in God, rather than our looks or what other people think. Love for Life invite you to join them for an authentic look at what it means to be a woman in today’s world and develop a confidence in who He made you to be.

can help their young people cope with difficulty. We will be discussing ways in which we can relevantly reach out, care for and help our young people, regardless of whatever difficulty they may be facing in life.

TRANSFORMED LIVES Wilson Beare | DNA A chance for you to examine afresh what mission is and what it looks like in your local context. The session gives you the opportunity and tools to develop a lifestyle of mission communicating the hope of God in your home/street/school.

MEN MADNESS #1 - #HAPPYSOLO Love For Life | Seminar Two

GIRLS ALLOWED MAP | Exodus

We all know that real men drive fast cars, climb rocks and play rough sports, right? Join Love for Life as we wrestle with what it means to be a real man in God’s eyes and develop strength to live out your life filled with His purpose.

PREPARING FOR UNI Miriam Swaffield | Seminar Three

In our world, we get things pretty easy, but what is it like in the rest of the world, particularly for girls? What are their lives like? What are their concerns? Join us for a whistle-stop world tour, looking at what it means to be a girl in Indonesia, Nigeria and Uganda.

From freshers week, degree work and societies, to finding a new church and sharing your faith with your new mates.

Get yourself ready for the adventure of uni and connect with other soon-to-be students, in this 360 degree preparation for university session

MENTAL HEALTH #1 STRESS AND ANXIETY John McMullan | Seminar One

NUTS AND BOLTS #1 WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE BRING DIFFICULT ISSUES TO YOUR DOOR? Andy Frame & The Big House | CIYD How do you feel when young people bring difficult issues to your door?

Concerned? Overwhelmed? Unqualified?

In this seminar, The Big House will be exploring ways in which youth leaders

15:15

If you are sick, you go to the doctor, they give you medicine and you get better.

But what about those times when your sickness is not physical? It can’t be seen to those around you, what do you do then? In this seminar we look specifically at anxiety & stress; the causes, the indicators and ways we can help ourselves and others deal with it.

APOLOGETICS - THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING David Glass | Seminar Two While we believe that our Christian faith should impact every area of our life and indeed our understanding about every aspect of the world, does the Bible determine precisely what you believe about everything? When it comes to the origins of the universe, for example, how do we reconcile different theories put forward?

HEART OF WORSHIP Alain Emerson | Seminar Three “The hour is coming and is now here when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth….” Jesus words de-clutter all the razzmatazz that has sometimes accompanied the contemporary worship scene, cutting literally, straight to the heart of worship.

In this seminar we are going to unpack both the simplicity and the depth of these words of Jesus, exploring what it means for us individually and practically within our corporate worship.

THE CHARACTER OF A LEADER #1 THE CONTEMPORARY CRISIS OF CHARACTER IN LEADERSHIP Peter Lynas | CIYD In this seminar we explore the importance and crisis of contemporary leadership in our Western culture. We also look at why good character in leadership is so important.

I AM A PEACE MOVEMENT #1 RECONCILIATION Jonny Clark | DNA Jesus walked this earth with the ultimate purpose of bringing reconciliation.

How does this play out where we are?

In this session we will take a journey of understanding, exploring what reconciliation looks like in our context and how we can take our place as part of it to bring hope to lives and communities.

PROPHETS OF JOY #1 Phil Emerson | Exodus What does the Bible define as joy? The goal of every Christian should not be happiness, because the Bible never promises happiness but joy­which is a totally different story! Joy is permanent but happiness is fleeting. Come along and find out why.’

16:30 THE DAILY PROPHECY Mairisine Stanfield | Seminar One Here we discover Biblical insights on the question of prophecy and it’s role in the ‘ordinary’ Christian life. Whether you come from a church tradition that emphasizes or ignores this ‘gift’, you will find something here to stir and encourage you - take our ‘word’ for it!

FAITH IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE Peter Lynas | Seminar Two This session will look at the God story and how it shapes our approach to the big issues of the day. It will look at developing a framework, a way of seeing, that determines our values and helps us understand, and ultimately change culture.

DEALING WITH DIVORCE Simon Henry & John Kee | Seminar Three We are all broken people and broken families need special consideration in the church, but being part of a divorced family within the church has it’s own challenges and strengths. Simon and John share some of their experiences growing up in a household on track for divorce.

Together we will explore what the Bible teaches us about being women who can enjoy life in all its fullness regardless of our relationship status.

I AM A PEACE MOVEMENT #2 MYTH BUSTERS Various Guests | DNA We are delighted to host a number of people from across our communities and traditions. This is an opportunity to hear from each as well as ask your questions in a safe environment.

NEW CHRISTIANS #1 THE BEGINNERS GUIDE Neville Barnes | Exodus

In a YOLO culture the main purpose of sex is simply to make you happy. If you want to have better sex and relationships who are you going to believe: the Bible or society? Join us as we discuss these issues together.

MENTAL HEALTH #2 SELF-HARM & SUICIDE John McMullan | Seminar Three

The Christian walk is supposed to be just that, a walk! Making a decision to follow Jesus is just the start. This seminar is to help you grow in your relationship with God when you go back home. A must if you have come to faith at the festival and for youth workers if people in your group have come to faith.

This is a delicate topic with lots of myths and stigma, not just for young people but also for leaders. In this session John helps us deal with some of those myths, and signposts us towards ways of help and helping. We also look at how our faith can play a part in these situations.

THE JOY OF WORK Krish Kandiah | Seminar One

NUTS AND BOLTS #2 RUNNING SUCCESSFUL RESIDENTIALS Hilda Connolly & Kristin Hollowell | CIYD Whether it’s taking a group of young people to a regional worship event, Summer Madness, the zoo or a few nights in a residential centre; the logistics of getting everybody safely from A to B can sometimes be overwhelming.

Join Hilda and Kristin, as they walk you through the process of taking young

15:15

Finding your calling in whatever field of endeavour can be challenging but immensely rewarding. Krish shares some Biblical principals that guide us, as we think about how God wishes to use you at work!

ENCOUNTERING ISLAM Rodger McKay | Seminar Two There has never been such a tide of Muslims coming to Christ. However, the Muslim world poses major challenges to Christians in terms of persecution, terrorism and discrimination. What are we to make of groups such as IS and

Boko Haram? How do we know what God is doing in the midst of all the pain and conflict? This seminar will help us think and pray how we can best engage in these times.

“DOIN’ MY HEAD IN...”

- PARENT & YOUNG PERSON RELATIONSHIP Louise Ferguson & Adrian McCartney | Seminar Three Modern family life as seen from the parent and child perspective with real life parent-child encounters. We have recruited two very brave teenagers and their respective parents to share the ups and downs of growing up in a Christian home.

THE CHARACTER OF A LEADER #2 THE MARKS OF GOOD CHARACTER Bishop Fanta Clarke | CIYD What do good characteristics in leadership look like and what are some of the primary pitfalls?

WHAT IS YOUR SPIRITUAL DNA? YWAM | DNA Original Design is the master blueprint that God has when He made you. It is the operating system in our lives. In order to recover our true design and our purpose we take hold of Truth – which of course is the teaching of Christ – and then we will walk into the freedom that Christ has won for us.

16:30 RELATIONOLOGY #1 BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS Matt Bird | Seminar One Matt Bird gives you the inside track on how to manage relationships in every sphere; personal, professional and church based! His book ‘Relationology’ is full of practical and shrewd advice on this ‘fundamental’ aspect of our everyday lives. Don’t miss these great insights that will enhance your

understanding and skills, in building networks around you that sustain and nourish you in every part of your life.

THE PARADOX OF SUFFERING Krish Kandiah | Seminar Two It’s not often we have the President of the prestigious London School of Theology present at Madness and because of his recent book ‘Paradoxlogy’ we thought he would be the ideal person to help us think through the Bible’s imperative to ‘rejoice always’ while at the same time reminding us that in this life we’ll have trouble and strife! Krish is an amazing communicator and Biblical authority - don’t miss this chance to interact.

MONEY & HOW TO MANAGE IT CUT YOUR CLOTH TO SUIT YOUR POCKET Chris Cupples | Seminar Three “How can I manage money when there’s pizza in the world?” A good question, although it is doable! (God provides us with everything we need, even if we don’t have the mula) Learn how to make every penny count; and trust us, they do!

I AM A PEACE MOVEMENT #3 MAKING A DIFFERENCE Various Organisations | DNA So far we have heard the theology, explored the differences and asked the questions. Its now time to make the difference. Come and hear from a number of organisations/agencies, on practical and creative ways in which you can engage and be a peace movement, where God has placed you.

In this seminar we all come together to explore relationships, celebrate what is good and think carefully about how we live out our faith in the wide variety of relationships that we are part of.

MEN MADNESS #3 - #HAPPYROLO Love For Life | Seminar One In this seminar we all come together to explore relationships, celebrate what is good and think carefully about how we live out our faith in the wide variety of relationships that we are part of.

HEALING - THEORY AND PRACTICE Derek McKelvey | Seminar Three We hear a lot about healing – spiritual, physical and mental. The theory makes a lot of sense. The truth is, there are some things that are hard to get past; some things that may never actually leave us.

Come along and find out where all the good thinking about healing actually fits, in real life situation.

LEADING WORSHIP Worship Central Ireland | Big Top If you’re involved in the worship life of your church or community this is for you.

Join with Ryan Griffith and the team as they look at some practical teaching on leading worship.This seminar will include a practical workshop on band dynamics and sound.

A HELL OF A PROBLEM Krish Kandiah | Exodus Krish Kandiah has recently focused his attention on the Paradoxes of the Christian faith. Here, he will introduce some thoughts on how we reconcile a loving God, with the threat of eternal punishment and other questions you’ve had thrown your way.

NEW CHRISTIANS #2 FOLLOWING JESUS AFTER MADNESS Neville Barnes | DNA The Christian walk is supposed to be just that, a walk! Making a decision to follow Jesus is just the start. This seminar is to help you grow in your relationship with God when you go back home. A must if you have come to faith at the festival and for youth workers if people in your group have come to faith.

15:15

NUTS AND BOLTS #3 SEX & RELATIONSHIPS Love For Life | CIYD

WHEN FAITH GETS SHAKEN Patrick Regan | Seminar One

Have you ever struggled to know where to start when it comes to talking to young people about relationships and sex? Do you dread the annual sex talk with your youth group? Come along and be equipped to overcome the awkwardness and embarrassment.

Life at the best of times can be confusing. Bring faith into the mix and it often becomes a recipe for despair and nagging questions. We look for a sign, but when one doesn’t come, we feel alone and disillusioned. Instead of life being an adventure, we get caught up in the mundane; but if you look closely you’ll see God is really doing something

– don’t quit now – there’s always hope.

Come and find out why!

RELATIONOLOGY #2 LEADERSHIP IS INFLUENCE Matt Bird | Seminar Two Matt Bird delivers his second in the series of Relationology 101 and focuses on how we engage with others effectively and how ‘contacts’ become more than just a name in a book but never just a means to an end.

MENTAL HEALTH #3 BUILDING RESILIENCE John McMullan | Exodus There is always hope! It’s important to know that we can build resilience and well-being in relation to mental health.

John looks at scripture, alongside positive psychological techniques that can help us and others build resilience around mental health.

How can you have joy in your walk with God? Some have sought happiness through entertainment or a certain performer they just “love.” Some seek it in athletic endeavours, hobbies, travel, dancing, fashion, home improvements, wealth,status, alcohol, food and drugs.

These all fail except for a brief period of satisfaction and sense of well-being.

Heaven...playing harps over streets of gold?! What does the Bible really teach?

In this seminar we will explode some myths and unearth some truths.

THE CHARACTER OF A LEADER #3 SUSTAINING GODLY CHARACTER Bishop Fanta Clarke | CIYD How do we deepen and develop Christ like character in Christian leadership, whether in the local church or in the market place?

PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH Chris Grant | DNA Whether we love it or loathe it, we all know that sport plays a prominent role in society. With thousands of Christians playing sport each week at school, clubs or international level, is it possible for us to positively impact our sports and teams by carrying God’s presence into these situations?

WHAT IS MY PURPOSE IN LIFE? MAP | Seminar Three This seminar considers who you are in God and where he might be leading you in the future. We want to help you see God’s unique plan and purpose for your life, so that you can become the person God created you to be. If you are looking for guidance about using your Godgiven gifts then this seminar is for you.

HOT SEAT INTERVIEW Mark Simpson, Jasper Rutherford & Special Guest | Big Top A significant political figure will be sharing with us their vision for this country and inviting you to discover how politics might work more effectively in the future. This interview is part of the ongoing work where we are trying to inspire and rise up a new generation of peacemakers.

Woodland Café Right now different people, from different nations all around the world are praying in 24-7 prayer rooms in all sorts of different locations!! Churches, Schools, Prisons, High Streets to give just a quick sample! So why should Summer Madness be any different!

During the festival we will be praying from 8am to midnight (we know, not quite 24 hours this time) The prayer room is a creative and interactive space for you to come and spend time chatting with God through words, art, music, activity and silence. Our desire is that the prayer room will be a place where you meet with God, where you can process what God is saying to you throughout the festival and pray big prayers for your family, friends, church and the nation!

So please make use of the prayer room. Sign yourself up for a slot to get alone with God or gather up some of your friends and come and spend an hour praying for one another and seeking God’s face.

The prayer room will be closed during the Mainstage sessions.

There are two entrances to the prayer room; one through the Exodus venue and one via the building attached to the Exodus courtyard.

We are setting a challenge at Summer Madness to get ten prayer spaces in schools started within the next school year. Are you brave enough to do this in your school? If so, talk to us!

For more information on prayer rooms or 24-7 prayer, please call in and say hello to us during the festival, attend one of our seminars or check out our website www.24-7prayerireland.com

Calling all children’s or youth workers, teachers and students?

Prayer Spaces in Schools is on the move in Ireland and we would love you to join with us in our vision and see this take off in every school across the land.

Since 2007, Prayer Spaces in Schools (an initiative of 24-7 Prayer) has supported well over 1000 prayer spaces in countries all over the world, enabling over 500,000 young people to experience prayer – many for the very first time. For a few days, a space within a school is transformed into a safe, hospitable place that includes a range of creative activities encouraging students of all faiths and none to reflect on issues as wide ranging as identity, forgiveness, injustice and thankfulness.

So how about your local schools? If your interested in getting a prayer space in your school speak to one of the team at the 24-7 prayer venue or check out the website www.prayerspacesinschools.com

“ L O R D, A S I T A K E M Y F I R S T STEP FORWARD, WILL YOU CONSIDER THAT THIS IS A STEP TOWARD COMPLETE OBEDIENCE TO YOU? I’LL CALL IT THE STEP OF YES.” Brother Andrew, founder of Open Doors

WILL YOU STEP OUT AND WALK WITH YOUR PERSECUTED FAMILY? One man, one VW Beetle and a bunch of hidden Bibles. Not much to go on, but sixty years ago, Brother Andrew decided to say ‘Yes’ to God, and the rest is history. Since his first journey smuggling Bibles into the Soviet Union, Open Doors, the organisation he founded, has grown to take on his mission, serving persecuted Christians in over 50 countries.

Will you step out and join us in walking with them?

Visit our stand in the Tearfund Cafe to grab a bunch of quality FREE resources to help you journey with your persecuted family, including our new ‘Ten Steps’ guide!

TOTAL RECALL This year we are releasing all of the mainstage talks, seminars and debates on one 4GB memory stick. Packed with the sights and sounds of SM15, this little beauty will allow you to ‘revisit’ all of those bits of the programme that you missed or don’t want to forget. All for the bargain basement price of £10 it’s cheaper than a burger and chips for two, but far more filling for the soul.

There will be a limited number available at the end of the Festival: otherwise order on-line at www.summermadness.co.uk

PRAYER MINISTRY The Prayer Team are a dedicated bunch of all-agers who are keen to help you connect with God and will be available after every Mainstage Worship session (somewhere around the front). They’re also available at the 24/7 prayer venue during the afternoons and can be seen elsewhere on-site in their PURPLE POLO SHIRTS. There’s no funny business: your first name and what you want prayer for is all we ask. We keep confidences unless criminal or abuse issues, suspected or actual, are raised: SM will pass details onto the relevant statutory authorities.

This is a story of hope and healing and a story that Charlene Barr asked her brother David to tell.

In Spring 2009 Charlene was told the devastating news that she needed a lung transplant to survive. The very evening she received this news she made the decision that if she couldn’t go to school then she was going to spend the time she was waiting for a transplant to raise money to build a school in Uganda for some of the children she had seen there during a family visit in 2008.

This incredible story traces Charlene’s life, her struggles and her journey towards transplant. Sadly Charlene couldn’t change her circumstances but against all the odds she made an incredible choice to look beyond herself and to think of others in the midst of her own crisis.

Today three schools in Uganda stand in Charlene’s memory as Charlene’s Project continues the work she started.

Available at the Bookshop: £8.99
