H2O and a Busy Summer Time Around the Country

EXP 13 at Benmore House by Dunoon

The youth work team have had a busy summer all round the country. 

Rachel and Ewen spent time with the SSC in 'the field' at Struan in Perthshire for 'Advance Guard' and 'Camp 1' joining young folks from all over Scotland.  

Next it was closer to home for Ewen, as he joined youth leaders from Dunoon, Edinburgh, Islay, Paisley and Minnesota for EXP 13, based at Benmore House by Dunoon.

EXP is a week-long opportunity for forty-two young folk to enjoy sport, music, craft and outdoor activities alongside space to discover more about Jesus and His life, as well as take time out to serve others in the local community, learning first aid skills, tending a community walled garden and playing indoor bowls with elderly folk.

Towards the end of July, Rachel and three young folk headed south for Soul Survivor (ably supported by Mr and Master Smith). Based in Stafford, Soul Survivor brings together thousands of young folk with a passion to find out more about Jesus in a setting that provides for a jolly good time all round. With splendid weather and a lot of fun, the team returned to Oban buzzing and hope to continue meeting together regularly.(but not in a tent!)
