SPREE 2025
SPREE 2025
Over 2,000 young people converged on Westpoint the weekend of 27-29 June, including ten from ECC, along with leaders Marie, Harri, Peter, Tim and Trevor. It was a great time of camping, activities, learning, worship, and meeting up with kids from many other church groups.
The theme this year was ‘Forgiven and Free’. The older group had sessions based on Youth Alpha, and the younger group could choose to go to sessions on outreach or discipleship. Much hilarity was had at activities like the every-popular fairground rides, nerf guns, crafts, tie-dyeing, arcades, inflatables, and the slip-and-slide run (the only soap some of them saw all weekend). A favourite was the badminton court. And if Tim fished the Frisbee out of the pond once, he did it a dozen times!
Most of the group have already asked to go again next year. One parent said, ‘Thank you guys for all you have done. It was well worth it and I can’t praise your efforts enough. My child has had a brilliant time and it has helped her to be more independent and she says she would want to go again.’
Thank you to all who supported the young people, through prayer, finances, lifts, setting up, etc. Spree is happening again 26th-28th June 2026. Marie will start taking bookings in the autumn!
Men's Gathering
Men's Gathering
... in a field near Swindon
On 20-22 June Philip, Tim, Serban and Trevor went up from Exeter to a field near Swindon to join 2000 other men worshipping Jesus, blessing each other and being a bit silly at the Christian Vision for Men Gathering. Graham Kendrick and his band were there leading worship. The main meetings were as good as ever.
We heard stories of men who had been saved from lives of crime and other who had just been searching. We even had a preach in Portuguese. Many people made a first time commitment. A couple of young men who have been along to Exwick who are now linked to the YMCA were there and it was to to say hi.
The fancy dress theme was “Aliens” on Saturday night and many wild outfits appeared.
We had a great time and feel very blessed to have been there. We even saved the neighbouring tent when it tried to blow away.
Some of us will be back again next year. Ask us about it and maybe you can come along too!
