Trapeze like balancing acts in the showers,
farmyard toilet stalls, giant insects, dreadful
weather and sleepless nights in freezing
temperatures
There is a Jewish festival they call Sukkot which is enacted every Autumn. Its main feature involves leaving homes to live in huts with branches for roofs - a reminder to every Jew of their history of desert wanderings for 40 years. Another name for this festival is 'The Time of our Joy'
For me camping is a symbol of our faith - our lives fragile, vulnerable, open to elements. Yet around us are the wings of God's eternal love.
At Westpoint the church community is stripped bare of any wordly pretence - in a field and cow shed but lifting up God's name and seeking his glory. The time of our joy is before us
Lets us embrace it with open arms
