Windswept and interesting through-the-night Nooma event with Xplore!



Nooma dvd discussion starters around the Christian faith have been ever-popular with the Thursday night group, Xplore. So, when some bright-spark had the great idea of watching all 24 in a row, group members thought 'what a splendid idea'! Well, eight of them did. Each dvd was given a vote on both the Clapometer... ' Polite Clapping', 'Moderate Clapping', 'Enthusiastic Clapping' and 'Ecstatic Clapping'....as well as a ponder on the'Nooma-ometer'....Did the dvd hardly make you think? Did it make you twitch uncomfortably? Did a light go on in your pondering processes? Did it go straight to the heart?
Nooma-watching (around themes such as forgiveness, love, choices, God's plan... and many more) was combined with crafty soap carving, glass and mug-painting as well as copious amounts of pizza and bacon and eggs for breakfast!
Rachel and Ewen would like to give a great big thank you to all who took part, particularly Hannah and Michael from Tobermory as well as through-the-night H2O volunteers Ruth, Roy, Cameron and Andy.
