PLEASE TAKE HOME A COPY OF THIS NEWSLETTER GFS Camp – April 2018 by Ella Gerber Friday The first day we got there we went to our dorm, which was in the basement. We had to walk through two other dorms to get to our dorm and there was a door to the next dorm. At lunch we got to vote for a movie to watch, the choices were High School Musical, Frozen and Teen beach movie. Obviously high school musical won. After lunch we went to the PE hall and played a game where we were given a dog breed and when it was called we had to crawl along the ground to reach th bone in the middle. We ate dinner and went to the entrance hall to watch the movie and we got drinks and popcorn. We went to bed, well everyone else did! We also known as dorm three stayed up all night. Saturday—We got the bus at 9.15am to Liliput. When we got there we were split into groups. Eva, Hannah, Re- becca and others were on my team. We did rock climbing first and then laser tag. After we did orienteering and lastly capture the flag. Everyone loved Liliput and we were really tired when we got back. Luckily not too tired for our crown and gown which was where you had to make a dress and hat out of newspaper. Sunday— We had a brilliant service in the chapel with Emma. Afterwards we did some crafts, then we went down to our dorms to tidy them. Once we had tidied our dorms we went to the main hall for the prize giving. All in all a wonderful weekend away.

Confirmation After all our preparations confirmation day arrived on 20th May, as our eight candi- dates were confirmed by Bishop Pat. It was a very emotive and uplifting service. Well done to our young people for whom we continue to pray : Avril Whittle Ben Montayne, Rebecca Alexander, Emma Carter, Peter Gardiner , Ella Gerber, Brian Moody and Aidan Moody. The front of the order of service sheet hosted a dove which was coloured and marked with all the individual finger prints of the candidates, marking their uniqueness, individuality and their talents/gifts from God. Preparations were enjoyed by all, and our last class we had a tea party—symbolizing the importance of sharing, listening and being in communion with one another. Rathangan hosted the teaching Eucharist, on Sunday 29th April. We pray that they will continue to serve God and find their place within the life and worship of our church.
