BREAKOUT 2010:- “Connect with others, with the world, with God”
After months of planning & serious fund-raising Sunday Club @ Birstall arrived at Cliff College. Our first priority was to stake our claim to a few square meters of sleeping area on the hall floors, blow up air-beds, unroll sleeping bags & check out the loos. - Having already eaten our packed tea on the coach the smell of chips proved too great.
Friday evening :- exploring & discovering what was on offer:-
The Media Hub:- Breakout TV. Digital Graffiti, Big screen Wii competitions The Café Tent:- Comedy, juggling, quizzes, Rock, pop & gospel music. Global Action:- Climate change,/ God, Poverty & Us/.Small is Beautiful The Big Top:- Lacey Theatre Co./ Barbara Nice – Comedian / Rock &pop/ Music/disco /Gospel – Rap – Street Dance
Saturday :- doing our own thing, meeting up at meal times,relaying “where we’d been” “what we’d done” - media, comedy, drama, stop-motion animation, music, drumming plus all the sports on offer.
Saturday night leaders relaxed in “The Well” (leaders only tent)
everyone else was off either discoing or playing games.
Sunday – 800 young people plus leaders packed into the Big Top for the closing celebration bringing together all that had been shared throughout the weekend in truly modern & lively worship.
The entire weekend was a fantastic experience helping us all to realize that we are part of something much bigger & taking us another step along the journey of our Christian life.
The ten young people who attended the Breakout weekend at Cliff College did our Circuit proud.
Breakout is a direct descendant of the old MAYC London Weekend and was celebrating its 65th year, and also, sadly, its last. This is even more of a shame since it was the first one our group had been to and we had a fantastic time. There was so much for everyone to do with a great range of activities suiting all tastes. It was a time of great blessing both for the group and for each individual, and a good preparation for those being baptised and confirmed at Birstall on 1st August.
