Sure Hope Church

4 June 2012 - Jubilee Street Party.

Meet the two amazing guys who organised this brilliant day. Dave Spencer and Neil Wright are responsible for different youth departments within Sure Hope Church.


Dave Spencer heads up "SPARKS!" which is for the junior age group who have their energy packed time together on Monday night's during school term time!


Neil Wright heads up the "ARK" which is the new name for the Sunday School Kids work. The name ARK stands for "All Remarkable Kids" and that is truly what they all are. Neil has been given the nick name "Noah" by the Kids, and nobody can imagine why!


Both guys are fantastic at what they do.... full of ideas, energy, and a God given talent to communicate the truth of God's Word to the kids of Sure Hope Church in ways that they enjoy, remember and embrace for the way to live the rest of their lives. They are a unique team and they work together so well - we are very proud of them both, love and appreciate all that they do for all the Kids of Sure Hope. 






                                 The fact that "ARK" is in "SPARK" is just an added bonus!
A huge amount of food was prepared by a dedicated group of people who had spent a long time making sure that when the inevitable question "Can I have more?" was asked, the answer was definitely "Yes, we've got plenty!". This was a great team effort, and once the food was devoured, the fun and games could begin!

 
There was so much to do, besides eating!






















But as you can see, the food kept coming!






And then there was more!

 

The best type of tug-of-war is when the rope snaps! But that tells you how much effort was being made by both teams not to be out done!

Not quite sure what this team game was called, but it was great fun just the same. Sharing wooden ski's between team members and racing (ish) down the course called lots of mayhem - I think that was the whole point really. Lots of arguments, frustration, laughter.... and oh dear, even a few tears! :( 

Skittles is definitely great fun, especially when you can knock them all down from about 6 feet away. But hey, don't forget the team member is only 3 foot tall! Good shot!

Dunking apples, are always great fun. Thankfully nobody drowned!

And so a picture of yours truly, flying the flag. 

A great fun day for all - with large numbers of people coming from the local community, and enjoying what turned out to be the hottest day, and only dry day of the holiday week. With torrential rain storms, flooding and high winds sweeping across Wales within 48 hours - we certainly had a touch of summer on our special day to remember the Queens Jubilee in Old Colwyn.

All our Remarkable Kids definitely brought a great "spark" in the "ark" on this sunny day!
