Saturday August 8, 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!

Saturday August 8, 2026 3:15pm - 4:00pm BST

The Theatre

God invites us to look up, explore the world around us, and wonder at how creation works. In this lively session, we will discover how creativity and science can work together as gifts from God. We will think about how our imagination, curiosity, and practical skills can help us create with God and serve his purposes. Along the way, we will put those ideas into action by making origami catapults and testing out creative, scientific minds together for God's glory.
