Hi,

A huge thank you to all of you who have been praying and supporting Satellites, our big summer festival.

It’s now only a few weeks until we welcome over three thousand young people to the Bath and West Showground - for the third Satellites event - Signal Fire. (An event designed to inspire young people to live with God at the centre of their lives all year round.)

All the Youthscape team will be there; some helping to run the event, and the local team will be looking after the huge group of young people, (that they’ve worked with this year), who are coming.

Some young people attending will be committed Christians, many others curious agnostics. Alongside the sports, games, fun and ice cream, there will be plenty of opportunities to explore Christian faith. So much potential!

So, please pray for the coming few weeks, as we complete our preparations, and for the event itself.

There will be more details next month. Thank you for your prayers!
