UNRIVALLED Spring Harvest 2021

Spring Harvest is the place to be this Easter for an amazing holiday packed with masses of stuff to do, bucket-loads of inspiration and all the fun you can squeeze in to five or six days.

In a whole host of different ways for all ages, we’re going to be asking a lot of questions about worship. We’ll be thinking about things like why we worship, who we worship, how we worship and what happens when we worship?

We are made to worship, so when we catch a glimpse of the wonder of who God is, worship pours out of us; we surrender the rivals to him in our lives and get our houses in order. So together, we intend to seek a deeper understanding of our Unrivalled God to fuel our worship and explore what it means for us all right now and in the coming months.

The Apostle Paul said something like this: “So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going‐to‐work, and walking‐around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.” Romans 12:1 [The Message Translation]

Sounds like a good place to start, right? Our worship is heard in the soundscape of our whole lives, singing or silent. So unpacking the book of Hebrews, digging in to the Psalms and looking at encounters with Jesus, we will explore the theology and practice of worship, alone and gathered, in our 24/7 lives. Join us.

The Usual impact with extra reassurance

We are planning as safe an event as possible, with social distancing and great hygiene firmly in place. It does mean there will be a few noticeable changes for those who have been many times before. You can still expect great worship, solid teaching, excellent entertainment and plenty of chances to be equipped and inspired. There will also be opportunities to connect with others – although it will be in smaller groups than in previous years.

At this stage, the plan is for our largest venue to have spaced capacity for 800. Key sessions will be repeated in two time slots and will also have a live link to a screen in another venue, which will have its own appeal.

Don’t forget there will also be plenty of sessions on your chalet TV. There will be tailored sessions for kids and young people with the incredible teams that lead them. These will be halved in size and also run in two time slots. Those aged 8 to 18 will have slightly less time in their groups than usual, but how great to add time and value to all the other fun you can have as a family – all age worship, swimming, funfair rides, sports, beach walks… the list goes on. We promise to make it all as clear as we can when the time comes. We hope that you will trust us to do what we do best and give you an awesome time away with God and his big family.
