Spark Christmas Epicness!

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” – Acts 2:42

Last Saturday night (17th December) we held our last Spark event of the year, and it was a roaring success.

We had pizzas coming out our ears, an indoor putting green, a selfie station, mountains of mince pies, our mighty Santa versus Elves Nerf battle and a short message about the Nativity inspired by the film series ‘Sharknado’ delivered by the Reverend Rob Beamish from Colwyn Bay.

It can’t be said that we do things like everyone else!

Youth groups came from as far afield as Holyhead to take part in this merry Christmas madness. Here’s what some of the youth leaders that brought their groups along to the event had to say: “Awesome night!!! Can’t literally wait to do it again! Thank you to everyone who put it all together!!” and “Thanks guys, everyone ‘survived’ the Nerf war and thoroughly enjoyed themselves!”

We really enjoyed planning and preparing for this event; making the costumes, decorating the game zone, cooking and serving the food; and it’s so great to hear that those who came to it had even more fun taking part.

As well as the fun, food and flying Nerf darts, we pray that everyone who attended went away with not only memories of a night that will remain with them for a long-time, but also that they went away thinking about the message of Christmas.  The message of Emmanuel – God with us.

And finally, we would not have been able to hold this fantastic event without all of the amazing volunteers that help us with everything. We also want to thank those that continue to support us with finances and in prayer. There are so many young people that have heard the gospel in 2016 because of your faithfulness.

We still need your continued and ongoing support in 2017 to see even more young people impacted with God’s love and the message of Jesus.

Once again thank you all, and here’s looking towards the next Spark event in 2017!

Merry Christmas!
