Newday is an event run by 'newfrontiers', a church that is spreading across the globe with an aim to share the gospel. This event, or festival as I choose to call it attracts believers and non-believers from all corners on the united kingdom and indeed many from other parts of the world like myself. It is a truly momentous occasion when thousands of teenage christians come together to praise, serve and encounter their heavenly father.
This year there was in the region of 7000 people camping on the show grounds in Norfolk. Everywhere you went there was tent after tent with lots of people running about wearing spotty wellington boots, multicolored rain coats and in my case multicolored hair everybody looked very busy yet excited. It was like what you imagine goes on behind the magic doors of Argos. there were lots of fantastic cafe's such as the rhythm factory for the beat-boxers and street dancers and everybody else because its just that fun. There is the retro cafe with its famous ice cream and Elvis Presley music, the pinks and the gents bar for the girls and the guys witch have lots of things witch you can get involved in such as nail painting and candy floss for the guys and sumo wrestling and table football for the girls... depending.
Each of the seven days start with an optional prayer meeting — and I went to every single one because they were amazing!!!!- usually lead by one of the main speakers accompanied by some worship. Then we move to the morning worship time witch is held in the "big top" that the big blue tent by the way, no worship event is complete without one. These are split from 12-14's and then 15-19's ... they are "AMAZING!" I have a feeling im going to be using this word a lot... After a message has been given you can choose from many great seminars. Then you eat, thats always good! And if your cooks are named Dawn and Lynn then all is well indeed! At this time you can also have the opportunity to go on outreach in the local towns and villages where you can talk to people on the street or help the communities by cleaning up gardens and painting fences. After much resting or skating if you happen to be utterly insane there the evening worship gig and message, witch is ... A... AM.... AMAZING! Of course, what else!
