WELCOME TO SM2018 Welcome to Summer Madness 2018! We are so glad to have you with us at the festival. As we gather together from across Ireland, across backgrounds and across dominations to worship, to learn, to grow and to have plenty of laughs along the way, we’re excited to see what God may do at Summer Madness.
THE GUIDE TO THE GUIDE On each of the pages that follow, every venue has it’s 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 out for the red page.
Many of you are here with friends and in groups so we hope that you take time to share your experiences and learning from the Main Stage and Seminar programmes. There’s space in the programme each morning so you can meet as a group to discuss what’s going on.
Vintage Café
We have a packed line up of seminars and workshops in the afternoons and a bountiful supply of musicians and venues to keep you entertained in the evenings. We’ve also ramped up the fun activities and sports to get the competitive spirit flowing! Once again we expect God will do wonderful things at the festival and we look forward to hearing many stories of changed lives and renewed faith. So, relax, have fun, be open to God and enjoy the festival! CONNECT WITH US If you’re tweeting or Instagramming about this year’s festival, don’t forget to tag us and use the hashtag #SM18

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. Please use them!
Crossing into any area demarcated by red and white tape is forbidden (this will constitute trespassing).
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.
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.

CARING FOR VULNERABLE CHILDREN IN OUR CHURCHES Home For Good | CIYD
NUTS AND BOLTS #1 - BUILDING AND DEVELOPING VOLUNTEER TEAMS David Brown | CIYD
Yes, of course. Duh! But could there possibly be more? Could you, as a young woman of God, have a deeper, eternal destiny on your life? Do you dare to dream for more? Come along and discover with Judith more of the adventure God has for you. THE COST OF GROWING UP AT UNI James Myles | The Hub
Yes, of course. Duh! But could there possibly be more? Could you, as a young woman of God, have a deeper, eternal destiny on your life? Do you dare to dream for more? Come along and discover with Judith more of the adventure God has for you.
Our friends at Christians Against Poverty are here to provide some practical advice on how to make money last at university. From bank accounts to budgeting, CAP want to help you make sense of your finances and stretch out you student loan. DARE TO ANSWER GOD’S CALL Darren O’Reilly | Seminar One What if God’s call on your life seems radically different from those around you? Take your chance to question three young consecrated brothers and sisters at the camp this year about how they ended up saying yes to a monastic call that is utterly counter-cultural. If you are discerning God’s call for you right now, this seminar is for you!! THERE’S NO I IN TEAM Hannah Elliott | Tearfund Me. You. Us. Every movement in history has been shaped and formed in community. This seminar will explore what we can achieve with our shared potential and how together, we can be a generation of change makers.
MEN MADNESS #1 THE THREE OF ME BODY: LOOKING GOOD? Mitch | YFC God wants to transform your life according to his amazing plan for you. He wants to connect with ALL that you are. Let’s begin with the body. Does God care about the clothes you wear or the tattoos you have? Does God stress about your sex life or your self-image? This seminar wants to answer these questions and more. SOUL SISTA #1 THE THREE OF ME BODY: LOOKING GOOD? Amanda Mitchell | Seminar One God has a plan for your life and he wants you to jump into it with ALL that you are. He has given you legs to leap and arms to hold fast. Your body is a wonderful instrument; God-designed, God-made and God-given. So how come so many of us girls struggle to believe it? Discover how God’s purpose for your body is so radically different from what the world has to offer! JESUS, THE ONE AND ONLY WAY? Krish Kandiah | Tearfund Jesus says I am “THE way, THE truth and THE life.” and that the ONLY way to the Father is through Him. But everyday millions of people around the world read
different scriptures, worship practice different faiths. So is Truth the exclusive property of the Christian faith? Can we learn anything from the beliefs of other religions? Krish Kandiah is a convert to Christianity from a Hindu family and has some insight on how we seek truth from a plurality of backgrounds and beliefs.
15:15 OUR JOURNEY TOGETHER Bishop Dónal McKeown and Bishop Ken Good | CIYD Bishop Dónal McKeown and Bishop Ken Good have been on an ecumenical journey together serving the people of Derry. They are here to share their stories and insight on how different denominations of the church can work together and demonstrate unity to a divided nation. DARE TO GROW: FAITH EXPERIMENTS Ryan Galway, Christina Baillie & some lovely young people | The Hub Come & join us to hear from young people just like you about growing spiritual habits, being curious in our faith and together trying out some new ways to grow in God. FEEL FREE... Katherine Dickson | Seminar One For whatever reason, all of us will experience times in our lives when we face fear ... working out who we are, exams, relationships and life in general. Even in the chaos of life, Jesus invites us to live freely and fearlessly. In this interactive seminar we will explore the practical ways to face each day confidently looking forward to all that God has called us to do! PARADOXOLOGY: WHY CHRISTIANITY WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE SIMPLE Krish Kandiah | Tearfund
Krish challenges us not to settle for a neatly packaged simplistic understanding of the Bible. Can we honour the Scriptures by scrutinizing them closely and meeting difficulties head on? Bring your least favourite passages, contradictions and questions.
16:30 SPOKEN WORD WORKSHOP Joshua Luke Smith | The Hub Come and join Joshua Luke Smith for a workshop in how to practice the art of spoken word and hear his story of how God is using him across the world. CHRISTIANS ARE WEIRD; ATHEISTS ARE NORMAL AND OTHER MYTHS WE NEED TO CHANGE. Krish Kandiah | Seminar One Krish Kandiah will share insights on how to change the way that Atheists and Christians engage with one another and launch his brand new book “Faitheism: Why Christians and Atheists have more in common than you think”. THE GIRL DECONSTRUCTION PROJECT Rachel Gardner | Tearfund It’s another one for the ladies! SM legend Rachel Gardner is running this seminar for young Christian women who want to experience their femininity as a powerful expression of their identity as they daily lose themselves in surrender to God and others. Come with your confidence and your questions about gender norms as we explore the wildness and wonder of being a woman.

SUNDAY SEMINARS 12:00 HEARING GOD SPEAK FOR YOURSELF Damian Wharton | The Hub Damian helps us explore what it looks like to hear God speaking personally and regularly into your life and how to develop practices that will help fine tune your your sensitivity to His voice. EVANGELISM MADE EASY? Laura Whinnery & Jonny Campbell | Seminar One Sometimes we make sharing Jesus with others more complicated than it has to be. Come & hear stories of incredible transformation and explore the possibility of passing on authentic, dynamic faith with the Alpha NI team. CREATING CONTENT THAT MATTERS David Cavan | Tearfund Snapchat, Instagram filters, youtubers, iPhones, there has never been a time on earth where physically making content has been easier. But how do you go from making to creating? REACHING AN UNREACHED GENERATION Chris Thompson | YFC This will be an informal time to discuss the opportunities, priorities and challenges of engaging with marginilized young people in your community.
14:00 NUTS AND BOLTS #2 - HANDLING CONFLICT...WELL! David Brown | CIYD Let’s be honest... none of us handle conflict particularly well ! How can we better manage ourselves and others we
minister to and alongside in this area? Join us for support and better understanding of how best to work together in agreed ministry. FAITH WITHOUT BORDERS Jonny Clarke, Nick Park, Pat Storey, Heather Morris & Damilola Makinde | The Hub Brexit is bringing borders back into fashion. But what does our faith have to say on the matter? What does the Bible say about holding national identity and international unity together when our politics seem to be failing? In this seminar our panel will attempt to tackle these difficult questions of our time. MEN MADNESS #2 THE THREE OF ME MIND: WE ARE WHAT WE THINK? Mitch | YFC God intended for our thoughts to shape our actions. To completely transform our lives God wants to renew our minds! God wants to whip our thinking into shape, to exercise our attitude and get free of the guilt trip. This seminar looks at how Godly men think about themselves, the opposite sex, dating and more! SOUL SISTA #2 MIND: THE THREE OF ME - WE ARE WHAT WE THINK? Amanda Mitchell | Seminar One So how do you dive into God’s good plan for your life? This seminar wants to challenge you to make space for God’s voice in your life to inform your thoughts about boys, beauty and the big issues playing out inside your head! MYTHS AND LEGENDS Jim McDowell | Tearfund The narrative of ‘Us v Them’ plays out in many cities and nations across the globe. Jesus asks us to love our neighbours and
our enemies just the same. So who are ‘They’? How do we love those who aren’t with ‘Us’? This seminar is busting myths so we can build bridges between communities.
the goodness of God in an evil world or the implausibility of the Christian message bring your questions, doubts and fears along to engage in the conversation.

INSTA-DENTITY. SNAPSHOTS OR SLINGSHOTS? Lynne Gibson | CIYD
TEN MINUTES OR LESS Darren O’Reilly, David Burke, Andy Boal, Damilola Makinde | CIYD
In a world filled with ‘selfies’ it’s surprisingly difficult to discover our true self. Social media is changing the way we relate to the world and think about ourselves. This is a chance to remind ourselves of our identity in Christ and reimagine the ways in which we can use social media for positive change!
Come listen as six speakers each share a true story on the theme of acceptance in only ten minutes or less. Have you ever struggled to find acceptance within society, within the church, or within yourself? Please join us, as our speakers kindly share stories of what this powerful word means to them and their faith.
DARE TO BE TRUTHFUL AT SCHOOL Phil Howe & Lyndsey Miles | The Hub School can be a pretty tough gig at the best of times. Just fitting in, making friends and passing exams can be daunting. Bringing your faith into the hallways and standing out from the crowd can seem like a pretty tall order. Lyndsey and Phil take a class on what it means to be bold, love your friends and speak truth at school. DARE TO ENGAGE YOUR COMMUNITY Adrian McCartney | Seminar One Jesus asks us to love our neighbours but…I don’t even know my neighbours!! So what do I do? Why are the people who live closest to us the most difficult to reach? Lucky for us, Adrian has some experience in the art of outreach and he’s going to share some ideas on how you can get out the door and show genuine love for your neighbour! NO QUESTION OFF LIMITS: YOU HAVE THE FLOOR Barry Forde, Brendan McCarthy, Dr. David Glass | Tearfund Whether it’s about science and belief,
HEALTH IS WEALTH: STRESS AND RESILIENCE John McMullen | Seminar One Northern Ireland is reported to have 25% more mental health problems than England. John shares how taking steps in faith to look after your wellbeing can help you deal with pressure, and reduce the impact that stress has on your life. IN SCIENCE WE TRUST? Dr. David Glass | Tearfund Some atheists claim that science has debunked religion as a superstitious hangover from earlier times. So, do the remarkable advances in scientific discovery challenge our core Christian beliefs?

MONDAY SEMINARS 12:00 MANAGING EXPECTATIONS IN YOUTH MINISTRY Simon Henry, David Brown & Panel | CIYD This is for you if you are feeling the weight of expectation in your youth ministry...how do we best manage the expectations of so many different groups of people with a vested interest in local youth ministry ? And what of your own expectations ? Join us with a panel of experienced youth ministry practitioners on hand for discussion, advice and wisdom. R2D2 & U Peter Lynas | Seminar One For some, Artificial Intelligence and robotics hail the dawn of a liberating new world or a dystopian apocalypse depending on your point of view. Behind the science fiction portrayals that make for blockbuster movies there are some huge questions about our very identity as humans and the meaning of consciousness. Peter helps us think through the implications of this emerging technology from the perspective of faith.
14:00 STAYING INNOVATIVE AS A YOUTH LEADER Martin Saunders & Chris Curtis | CIYD The world has changed massively over the last two decades, yet for the most part youth ministry looks remarkably similar to how it did in 1998. This session won’t just explore some creative new approaches to reaching and working with young people, but will also equip leaders with a practical creative tool to help them dream up new models of ministry to the emerging generation.
NEW CHRISTIANS - THE BASICS Stephen Whitten | The Hub
15:15 STAYING CONNECTED TO GOD AS A YOUTH LEADER Martin Saunders & Chris Curtis | CIYD
The start of any journey is full of anxiety and excitement and the journey of faith is no different. If you have recently become a Christian or given your life to Jesus at the festival this seminar is a must for you and your youth leader. We want to equip you with the information and guidance to help you make bold strides toward Jesus at the start of your journey with him.
When you spend so much of your life giving out, it’s easy to forget to keep putting something in. Yet we can only lead young people closer to God if we ourselves are also walking closely with him. This session will look at the practical tools, rhythms and practices that even the busiest youth leader can put in place to ensure that they’re still growing as they seek to grow young disciples.
SOUL SISTA/MEN MADNESS #3 THE THREE OF ME - SOUL: THE SPARK THAT STARTS A FIRE? Mitch + Amanda Mitchell | Seminar One
THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT Scott Evans | The Hub
If God is going to completely transform your life and download his plan into your system then he has to connect with the very core of who you are… your SOUL. Your soul is the most precious part of you, the philosopher’s stone, the crown jewel, the Mona Lisa of your existence!! But…what is it? What does it sound like? What does it feel like? This seminar brings the guys and girls together for the final session to work through these questions and discuss what life looks like when your soul is on fire for Christ? STUMBLING BLOCKS: CONQUERING THE STUFF THAT HOLDS YOU BACK Gavin Calver | Tearfund How do you have faith when the going gets tough? You see a friend suffer. Leaders and churches let you down. Your prayers fall flat. Maybe your dad died. Every day Gavin’s work brings him into contact with hurting young people. He doesn’t have all the answers, but wants to share how it is possible for you to meet these questions head-on and go on growing.
One of the most beautiful things about the Scriptures is that they constantly bring us face to face with people who struggle to believe. So many of our greatest heroes found it hard to trust God and to believe that he was there when it seemed like he wasn’t. To some, ‘doubt’ is a dirty word. To others, it’s a crucial part of the human experience and of the Christian faith. Join Scott Evans (Chaplain at University College Dublin) as he explores this ancient idea and how we wrestle with doubt today. IS THE BIBLE SEXIST? Rose Lynas | Seminar One What do we mean by sexist? Do we value and define males and females differently? Or has God’s incredible story of liberation been twisted to enslave us all. In this seminar Rose Lynas will explore how we all, male and female, need to reclaim our God-given identities. SHARING THE GOSPEL WITHOUT GIVING OFFENCE - MISSION IMPOSSIBLE? Gavin Calver | Tearfund So often Christians are defined by what
they are AGAINST and not what they are FOR! Lately it seems that Christianity – the message of forgiveness, grace and salvation – has become offensive to the modern public. Gavin Calver is here to share how we can continue to share the gospel in a changing social atmosphere.
16:30 HOT SEAT INTERVIEW WITH ARLENE FOSTER Arlene Foster | Big Top First Minister Arlene Foster is our special guest to the festival this year. She’ll be answering your questions. VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS. MY TRUTH. MY STORY Kenny Donaldson | Seminar One The South East Fermanagh Foundation (SEFF) are hosting a conversation about justice and reconciliation within the context of ‘The Northern Ireland Troubles.’ The workshop will explore personal stories and discuss how Christian teaching can combat and ultimately defeat the efforts of those who seek to turn history on its head. FORGET ABOUT THE PRICE TAG? James Pickin | Tearfund How do we navigate the issue of the darker side of the fashion industry and where our clothes come from. In this seminar we’ll be looking at the truth behind our clothes and the why and the how we can, together, make a difference in the fashion industry.

24-7 Prayer
The Hub
YFC Drop In
The Hatch
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 and high streets to give just a quick sample. So why should Summer Madness be any different? During the festival we’ll be praying from 8am to midnight (we know, not quite 24 hours!) 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 can meet with God, where you can process what He is saying to you throughout the festival and pray big prayers for your family, friends, church and the nation! You are so welcome to make use of the prayer room. Sign yourself up for a slot and get along with God or gather up some of your friends and come spend an hour praying for one another and seeking God. The prayer room will be closed during the Main Stage Sessions. The prayer room will be located in the Sub-Camp. For more information on prayer rooms or 24-7 Prayer, please call in and say hello to us during the festival or check out our website: 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

TOTAL RECALL
PRAYER MINISTRY
This year we are releasing all the Mainstage talks and seminars on one memory stick. Packed with all the sights and sounds of SM18, this little beauty will allow you to revisit all of those bits of the festival that you missed or don’t want to forget. All this for £12, it’s cheaper than a burger and chips for two, but far more filling for the soul.
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 Main Stage worship gathering (somewhere near the front). They’ll also be available in the 24-5 Prayer Venue during the afternoons and can be seen on site in their YELLOW POLOS.
There will be a limited number available at the end of the festival. You can also order after the festival online at summermadness.co.uk/festival
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.
