A CHANCE TO WIN FREE TICKETS TO NATIONAL GATHERINGS 2015!

IN 2014, MORE THAN 24,000 PEOPLE TRAVELLED TO SOMERSET TO SPEND A WEEK OF THEIR SUMMER HOLIDAYS AT A NEW WINE NATIONAL GATHERING. WHAT FOR?

POEMS, PIMM’S & MIRACLES

The National Gatherings attract all sorts of people for all sorts of reasons.

We asked those who came in 2014 to share their highlights. Here’s just a handful.

‘The Arts venue. I have been getting back in touch with my artistic side so this was perfect, with a good range of activities and really enthusiastic teachers.’

miracles

‘I have always believed in miracles but I have seen with my own eyes and now know that God works miracles, not just dayto-day answers to prayer, but significant healings.'

poems ‘The Urban venue with its edgy feel, upbeat worship, testimonies and extras including poems.’

‘Getting to know friends better, spending time with family, receiving emotional healing from God, great worship, excellent seminars, fresh vision for the future, superb kids’ work.’

Pimm's ‘Drinking Pimm’s on the campsite with other mums while listening to the worship play out across the fields. We prayed together and enjoyed a breather with God.'

‘Watching my kids start to relate to God in deeper ways.’

‘Being on team.

Great community, great worship teams, felt like a small church plant, loved it.’

WHO ARE YOU? 2

No matter which category you fall into, here’s just one good reason (well, one-ish) to join us this summer.

Leader

There’s a perfectly designed programme of activities for each age group, led by a team of talented and experienced children’s workers. Oh, and everything from air hockey to Xboxes in the massive family play area, The Stomping Ground.

Not only is there a range of talks and workshops from inspirational speakers, there's a sports programme including football and basketball tournaments, afterhours venues with live music, gaming, pool and a chance to show off your dance moves.
