Orbit - Reflective

Friday August 7, 2026 9:30am - 10:15am BST

The Theatre

If you’re looking for something a little more contemplative, join us in the theatre for a time of quiet reflection and prayerful meditation, as we slowly read though each passage and use our imaginations to bring these stories to life. You'll be led in a guided reflection by our amazing contemplative prayer expert Stephen Hoyland. Make sure you try this at least once!

Youth Leader session: How can we make brave faith everyday faith?

Friday August 7, 2026 2:00pm - 2:45pm BST

The Theatre

[This session is for leaders]
Brave faith isn’t always easy, especially for a generation that can be courageous one minute and anxious the next. As youth leaders, we get the joy of fanning into flame the God‑given gifts in our young people and cheering them on as they learn to be bold right where they are… even when it feels totally impossible. With inspiring stories from believers in the persecuted church, in this seminar the Open Doors team will dig into the HOW of helping young people take risks, step out in confidence, and choose brave, impossible faith in their everyday lives.

Can I trust the Bible?

Friday August 7, 2026 4:30pm - 5:15pm BST

The Theatre

Plenty of people have written the Bible off without ever taking a proper look at it. But if we do choose to explore it, we may ask whether the Bible has been changed and twisted over the centuries, or whether it can really be trusted. In this session, Ben will look into how we can answer this question honestly, and there will be time for questions too!

If you only go to the movies at Satellites, then you've probably just had to wait a whole year for the resolution of this cinematic two-parter. If you loved Wicked, it's fair to assume you'll also love Wicked for Good! Singing along is absolutely encouraged.
