Greenbelt - August 08

We just arrived back from Greenbelt, with it's normal mix of
art, music and talks. We were blessed with a brilliant early morning
of sunshine. Having left the Marlow area at 7.30 in the morning, we
arrived at around 9.00 at the Cheltenham race course, in time to join
the Contemplative Fire group for morning worship.


Philip Roderick, pictured above, led the morning service which included
music led by drums and the "hang drum". Philip will be coming to the
Hacienda to lead a retreat in it's first year of opening.

Brian McLaren gave a very interesting talk on different types of prayer
based on the themes within the Lord's Prayer.


We saw a couple of great singers that we'd not heard of before, you may have
done ! They were solo acts - Julie Lee and Yvonne Lyon, who performed with
Martin Joseph as special guests.
Here's one of Yvonne's songs, with a great story

There was the normal mix of Greenbelt mayhem, with angels on wheels, and
crazy cyclists !


And finally the normal mix of loud music !
