Exploring Luing with Xplore Xtra 4.0

Steady...............
Wooooops!!!!!
Well, the weather doesn't get any better, at least not around West Coast Scotland!
The last in our season of Xplore Xtra events was hosted by the JAM youth group from the glorious island of Luing. Folks gathered from Oban, Kinlochleven and of course Luing, to enjoy time together on a treasure hunt, outdoor games time, BBQ heaven and a sunset swim (well, for many but not all!)
Prayer stacks were created by the shore, as the sun went down in the West, and, believe it or not - no midges!!
By Saturday morning, again in brilliant sunshine, the chat was 'I don't want to go home', 'I want to move to Luing!' However, we did eventually scoot across the channel and Atlantic Bridge and return to mainland life.
So, a very BIG thank you to JAM for such tremendous hospitality, and particularly to Fiona and Mhari for providing us with a visit to remember.
The group leaders will be getting together in the near future to consider the way forward for future Xplore Xtra's and how we should move forward with this valuable opportunity to bring young folks together from different areas of the county, to journey together and discovering more about Jesus.
Sunset Swimmers (and friends!)
Thank you Fiona and Mhari
