3Generate: 6th - 8th October 2023

The 3Generate weekend was a great success. Eight young people from The Square, plus three leaders, were joined by five young people from Oakdale Methodist Church, plus two leaders. It was lovely to be part of a larger group with Oakdale, and we hope this will lead to further links between the two groups.

We tended to sit together for meals, but then do the activities in our separate groups. There were so many activities to choose from. The craft area was very popular with long queues for crocheting, and making and using pin-hole cameras; bear in mind that there were well over 1,000 young people plus all their leaders.

Basket ball and the climbing walls were also very popular. This year there was also a caving option, and they had two climbing walls as it had been so popular last year. There were some excellent interactive Bible studies, with many of the young people joining in with their comments and questions. Our group enjoyed an area called "The Wilderness", which involved following a trail through the desert with Moses and then fast forwarding to the same trail, but this time with Jesus. One of our young people commented, "I really like this area".

The main worship sessions on Saturday and Sunday mornings were very good, led by a group called The Spirituals, and there was a lovely Holy Communion service at 10.30pm on the Saturday. A good time was had by all!
