Greenbelt

We are off to Greenbelt in the morning and I really can't wait!! Every year the annual pilgrimage takes place and for me it is a really important part of my year. This year will be slightly different as I am going to a wedding on the saturday of one of my 'former' students. It will also be different as the communion service will be in the afternoon so no rushing to get sandwiches made, people up etc.

Greenbelt can challenge, frustrate, cheer me up, tire me out like no other event can which is why I make it a priority.

The highlights for me are usually the big sing, communion service and chatting to people who come to the youth resources stall.

This year I just hope it doesn't rain too much but if it does that it happens at night so people don't get too soaked. Unlike in 1993? when I was absolutely soaked as were the tents sleeping bags and everything else. I was still getting mud out of my clothes after they had been washed three times!!
