Coming together for Kindle 2016
Friday 17th February 2017A group of 30+ young people and leaders came together for Kindle 2016, a residential event for the Senior and Amicus age groups held at Great Wood Camp in the Quantocks, Somerset.
Kindle was set up in 2007 by the West of England District as a weekend away for young people with a focus on relevant Christian teaching, seeking to meet young people where they are at and provide an opportunity to challenge and develop their faith.
The Kindle weekend is built around times of worship and Christian teaching, with the theme this year being ‘No Fear’ and the key verse from Proverbs 9:10. This year’s programme also included time to build an enormous fire (it was 5th November!), play board games, try out a low ropes course and play wide games.
A fantastic time was had by all, and both young people and leaders are looking forward to Kindle 2017. The leadership of this event is keen to share the model which has been working so well for them with other Battalions/District.
