Refuel Summer Festival – Refuel is a family-friendly Christian festival held annually at Gordon Castle Estate in Fochabers. This year it is running from Sunday 20th July – Thursday 24th July. It’s possible to attend for a single day, to camp/bring a motorhome on site or to find accommodation close by. There is worship, there are stalls and tents (including a fabulous Adopt-a-Child tent where you may find some familiar faces!), there’s food and books, there are seminars, there’s a children’s club each day and a youth space with dedicated music and teaching for youth each day. And…the event is FREE to attend! There’s a small charge for camping/motorhomes. Have a look at the website which is www.refuelscotland.org.uk for more information. It would be great to be able to support the festival as a church and could be a lot of fun to be able to attend as a church group. It could also be great for our growing youth group if a number of them wanted to attend and we could explore possibilities for them to camp together. Would you be interested in going? Please let Pamela know if so and we can coordinate!
