Over the first May Bank Holiday (1-3 May), revival took part in 'The Noise' project. Initiated by Soul Survivor and other Christian organisations, it is a community based project designed to get young people taking church out onto the streets by engaging with social action projects. On the Saturday we did a litter sweep of Woodbridge, washed mobility scooters and cleaned off graffiti from the garages on the Peterhouse estate. Local residents commented that 'we were doing a good job' and 'it made the area look a lot nicer'.
 

Over the second May Bank Holiday weekend (23rd-25th May) in 2009 Revival Youth Congregation once again were part of “Alive”. This is a festival run by St John’s Church and followed a successful first year in 2008. Alive09, like Alive08, aimed to offer a strong emphasis on Word and Spirit, seeking to apply good practice in Charismatic ministry for the East Anglian setting. Revival hosted the Youth part of a wider festival catering for adults, children and young people.

In September 2009 we had a wonderful weekend at the Horstead Centre in Norfolk. We were blessed with sunny weather. Read on for more pictures and news of what we got up to.

Half four on a Friday afternoon and we all pile into the coach for the two hour trip to the Horstead Centre just north of Norwich. After our evening meal, lovingly prepared by the centre staff, we had the first of our discipleship sessions.

Every year young people from Revival Youth Congregation attend Soul Survivor.

Soul Survivor started as the youth event at New Wine Festival several years ago. New Wine is a Christian Festival started by a Church of England church. Soul Survivor has become a festival in its own right and now attracts 20,000+ young people over two weeks. Soul Survivor has a safe Christian environment that is welcoming to both churched and unchurched young people.
