Around 50 from St Mag camped at Creation Fest this year, others stayed in the local area and came in each day, whilst still more came for the day. We all benefitted from great worship, good teaching, amazing art sessions, an informative exhibition space with the opportunity to buy Christian resources, an eclectic mix of entertainers, wonderful facilities for youth and children - including a skate park, tasty food stands and, above all, wonderful fellowship.A Play Station 5 was nearly won, we made new friends and strengthened existing relationships, storm Antoni merely enabled us to enjoy greater camaraderie (only an awning was lost), and we may have found a course for the Life Groups to enjoy this Autumn.We look forward to sharing what we learned with those who stayed home and enjoyed great worship at St Mags.
