Frenzy 2008

What an amazing event.....Frenzy 2008. Ask any of the young folk who were there and they will tell you just how good it was. As Duncan mentioned at church this morning, we didn't get back into Inverness until after 1pm, but by the time we had dropped everybody off at their doors it was 2.45 before I got home, and probably a wee bit later for the folks over in Kirkhill. It was a very long day but a very enjoyable one.

Frenzy is a fantastic event for all ages. It is extremely well organised and has something for everybody. I was volunteering on the Scripture Union stand this year, handing out SU Holiday brochures and speaking to lots of folk about the work of SU. SU had made t-shirts with our names on the back....I was very excited about this....even more excited when they said I could keep it...woohoo. After about 5 hours or so my time on the SU stand had come to an end, just in time to hear David Crowder Band. This was the band I really wanted to see and they were brilliant. These guys really know how to get a crowd going.....before we knew it Stuart and I were linked (football huddle style) with another dozen or so guys and girls, and with the other 8000 or so folks in the hall were bouncing as high as we could while singing "we're gonna dance like we're saved"....it was brilliant. What an experience.

Next came Chris Tomlin. We sing a few of Chris Tomlin's songs in church, in fact we sang one this morning "How Great is our God". The next 45 mins or so turned out to be the best of the night, even better than David Crowder Band, sorry David if you are reading this blog. Having 8000 or so people of all ages, all singing their hearts out for God, is an AWESOME experience.

Words are really no good for explaining this event, it really has got to be experienced. Hilton young folk have been trailblazing for our congregation these past few years at Frenzy, so next year I think we should organise a bigger bus and take you all down to Frenzy 2009........
