Big Church Festival 2024
“That was life changing” – A comment made by one attendee at the weekend.
A number of Trinity family members attended the fabulous ‘Big Church Festival’ at Wiston House, Steyning over the Bank Holiday weekend. Arrivals were spaced out on Friday as some people came after school/work but those that arrived earlier saved space for those coming later and of course that there was food for those that needed it too! It was great to see everyone pulling together getting belongings from the car to the campsite, and in erecting our site which along with tents included an event shelter and a volleyball net!
Saturday and Sunday started with relaxed mornings and time together as we got ready for everything to start at 12 noon after which we joined with over 30,000 people from around the world in worship across several stages and venues. Some of the highlights for us were the field of fun (full of fairground rides, outdoor activities and more), Rend Collective and the Watoto Children’s Choir. As the evenings drew close we all gathered together at the mainstage for fantastic worship led by Kari Jobe on Saturday and Chris Tomlin on Sunday. For those who were still awake there were a number of after hours activities to get involved with – one of which was a campfire with Rend Collective.
Throughout the weekend the weather was kind, the atmosphere was great and God was close. It’s fair to say that we had a wonderful time and are looking forward to going again next year. Speaking of next year, the dates are changing – due to an American Christian awards ceremony that always happens on the May bank holiday, Big Church Festival is moving to the August Bank holiday. The improved festival will run for three days (rather than two) and include a children and youth programme in the mornings.
