A sold out SOLID Remix took place at Chelmsford Cathedral on Friday and featured inflatables, communion and sung worship.
The youth group from St John's Seven Kings were there for the event which, this year, was based around times in Jesus’ life when he came into contact with food. The venue was set up into four different zones, and in each of these zones there was the opportunity to get physical, be creative, sample some food, and gain some spiritual input either through multimedia experiences, storytelling or reflection. The young people travelled around these zones, following in Jesus’ footsteps, which was the 2011 theme taken from 1 Peter 2:21. In the middle of the evening, everyone came together to share a meal and join together in worship and communion. There were also additional opportunities for those who preferred to do a graffiti workshop or take part in a lyricist lounge.
SOLID exists to support the on-going work of children and youth leaders across Essex, East London and the wider area by providing quality events that Christian young people can bring their un-churched friends to.
One of the core objectives for SOLID is to be ‘local’, creating a sense that everyone you meet at the events are from your locality. For young people this is particularly important in generating a sense of ‘SOLIDarity’ – they are not the only young person who goes to church in Essex! It’s also important to small church groups, to be able to take your young people to a quality event that is ‘local’.
