Thoughts for the day
Late have I loved you, O Beauty so ancient and so new; late have I loved you! For behold you were within me, and I outside; and I sought you outside and in my unloveliness fell upon those things that you have made. You were with me and I was not with you. I was kept from you by those things, yet had they not been in you, they would not have been at all. You called and cried to me and broke open my deafness; you sent your shafts of light to shine on me and chase away my blindness; you breathed your fragrant breath on me, and I took a breath and now pant for you; I tasted you, and now I hunger and thirst for you; you touched me and I have burned for your peace.

Soul Survivor '09
Monday 17th August was a day of great anticipation - and excitement for the Beacon group, setting off for Soul Survivor at the Bath & West Show ground in Somerset.
7 young people, 2 slightly older, who were working on teams, 4 adults and two children all spent 5 days camping - (along with the other 9000!) at this brilliant Christian Youth Festival - now in its 17th year.
Daily main meetings, (morning and evening) took place in the HUGE Big Top. Plus cafes, sports, seminars, a 2 screen cinema, various bands, workshops, creative arts- including dance and drama to participate in - meant there was something for everyone. The group really got 'stuck in'; making the most of the packed programme and all got a lot out of it
The expressed aim of Soul Survivor is:
"to spend loads of time worshiping God, learning from his Word and being changed by His Spirit" This aim was completely achieved.
Below are some of the comments written by the young people from Chulmleigh and Chawleigh themselves.
"I declared my faith in front of everyone at the Big Top."
"Soul Survivor has filled me with a new hunger for God and a passion to serve"
"It was very apparent that God was working in great ways in everyone in the group and even away from the Big Top, which reassures me he will still be working back home"
"Huge amounts of fun and an incredible atmosphere"
"Prayer just gets better and better"
"I have never felt so close to God. It has been one of the best times of my life"
The group would like to say a big Thank You! To Holly, for organizing the coffee morning to raise funds and to everyone who supported them in any way.
