As many of you know, we had a group up at the MAD weekend in Coleraine from Friday 23rd - Sunday 25th October. MAD stands for 'Making a Difference' and is ran by the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. It's a great event that takes place every year around this time, and over a thousand people gather together to take part in the experience.
The weekend is a great chance to spend time getting to know others from your group better, and meet different people from other churches. It's a time to eat ridiculously, stuffing your face with snacks and take-away's while you make the most of your weekend free from parents! But most importantly, it's a time to learn about God and to worship Him.
The theme this year at MAD was 'The Story'. We were focusing on what is God's story, what is our own individual story and how they relate to each other. We also spent some time thinking about how we can share our stories with different people in our lives and how that can make a huge impact in theirs.
Have you ever thought about it before? What is your story?
Interestingly enough, we've actually been looking at different peoples' stories from the Bible this year at Youth Fellowship. We've already focused on Elijah's story, and when we meet back on Sunday 8th November we're going to be looking at another person's story. Come along at 7.15pm and find out more!
We're all a part of a big story. And it's worth sharing.
