Cold and Frosty Aviemore - Perfect for Deep Impact

The annual conference for Christian Youth and Children's workers, Deep Impact, has recently taken place at the Macdonald Hotel resort in Aviemore. Over 320 delegates gathered from all over Scotland and the UK to meet together, worship Jesus together and to be equipped for God's ongoing Kingdom work alongside children and young people. 18 delegates attended from Argyll with Hope 2 Oban sending 7 folks who benefited from teaching spaces, thinking spaces, challenging spaces and relaxing spaces. Deep Impact attendees were also uplifted and challenged by the teaching of Matt Summerfield of Urban Saints,  whose sessions did indeed have a deep impact. Around 30 seminars were available during the conference, with folks encouraged to take a 'Sabbath' time of relaxation on the Saturday afternoon. Saturday night included the fun time that is known as 'Zoo', a slightly different slant on  the talent show, as well as some ad hoc sledging opportunities being grabbed by some brave adventurers.
As ever, a splendid time was had by all involved and already the chat is, 'can't wait until next year'!
