Theme and programme

"Your lives aren't small," writes Eugene Peterson in The Message, "but you're living them in a small way."

For so many young people, that's never been more tragically true. Hypnotised by technology, swamped by fear, anxiety and overwhelm, they can retreat into the empty comfort of distraction. Yet their lives were never meant to be like this. If they can only catch a glimpse of the God who made the universe and yet knows them by name, a far greater adventure is still possible.

This year at Satellites, we want to help young people understand just how great and majestic that God really is. The God who made the stars; the God who fills the oceans; the God who punched a hole in death that the rest of us can escape through. He is in every way magnificent: his words, his creation, his actions in our lives and throughout history. So in order to know him better, we're going to look up together.

We're going to wonder at the glory of his creativity and creation; we're going to gaze in awe at his revelation and redemption in Jesus. We are surrounded by reminders of his extraordinary power, creativity and love, but in times like these, our senses can be dulled to their impact.
So this summer, join us for five days of discovery, memory making, and life-changing encounter. As we re-engage our sense of child-like wonder; as we invite young people to embrace a bigger vision for their lives, for the world, and for their view of God.

In a world that tries to keep us staring​ down, it's time to look up.
