This month, we're meeting on Saunton Sands on Sunday 25th July. We'll be meeting up at Holy Trinity church car park in Barnstaple at 9:15am to pray and share cars, leaving there at 9:30am to arrive at Saunton Sands around 10am - where our advance party should hopefully have things ready for us! So, what's in store?
There will be two activities taking place on the beach this time:
One will be based on the Bible passage for Sunday 25th July, Luke 11:1-13, which includes the Lord's Prayer and Jesus teaching on prayer. Anyone inspired by this can join us in a prayer event, where we will be asking members of the public if there is anything they would like us to pray for.
At the same time, other members of our group - including children, guests and those who’ve invited guests - will take part in a tide-fight: teams building sandcastles parallel to the incoming sea just below the high tide line, to see whose will stay standing the longest!
Once the tide-fight is over, we will all take time to say 'thank you' to God by writing or drawing in the sand things we are grateful for, before enjoying a picnic lunch on the beach.
This is what we need you to do (please!):
- pray for this event, for weather, for our guests to come along, for connections with other beach users
- bring a bucket and spade
- bring your picnic
- bring your friends
- turn up yourself!
