Festival guide 2017 digital by John Kee

THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE Festival Guide 2017

WELCOME TO SM2017 Welcome to Summer Madness 2017! We are so glad to have you with us at the festival. As we gather together from across Ireland, across backgrounds and across dominations to worship, to learn, to grow and to have plenty of laughs along the way, we’re excited to see what God may do at Summer Madness.

THE GUIDE TO THE GUIDE On each of the pages that follow, every venue has it’s own colour: be that on the map, in the seminar pages or on the programme guide. For example, the Big Top is shown as a red circus tent on the map. To see what’s happening in the Big Top, look out for the red page.

Many of you are here with friends and in groups so we hope that you take time to share your experiences and learning from the Main Stage and Seminar programmes. There’s space in the programme each morning so you can meet as a group to discuss what’s going on.

DNA Tent

We have a packed line up of seminars and workshops in the afternoons and a bountiful supply of musicians and venues to keep you entertained in the evenings. We’ve also ramped up the fun activities and sports to get the competitive spirit flowing! Once again we expect God will do wonderful things at the festival and we look forward to hearing many stories of changed lives and renewed faith. So, relax, have fun, be open to God and enjoy the festival! CONNECT WITH US If you’re tweeting or Instagramming about this year’s festival, don’t forget to tag us and use the hashtag #SM17

1. Please show care and consideration for everyone on-site and for the site itself. 2. Smoking is not allowed anywhere on-site.

In the case of an emergency, please contact your sub-camp leader or the campsite office. Medical help is available 24 hours a day. If you need medical help just ask at the St. John Ambulance area or any member of staff.

3. Alcohol must not be brought into or consumed on-site.

QUIET PLEASE

4. No-one who is intoxicated will be permitted to either enter or remain on the site.

PLEASE be quiet at night. If you want to stay up late, please respect those who are trying to sleep. Noise carries across the campsite at night. A strict quiet curfew will be enforced in the camping area from 01:00 onwards.

5. Wristbands or passes must be worn at all times to obtain entrance to all events. 6. No mixed sleeping (unless married). 7. Tents must be at least 3 metres apart and should not be pitched without permission from the sub-camp leader. 8. Do not cook inside tents other than the designated cook tents. 9. No camp fires or disposable barbeques to be used on the grass.

EVENT CREW Our Event Crew work long hours to make your festival experience trouble-free and enjoyable as possible. They have volunteered their time for you, so why not give them a smile (or a couple of your sweets) to let them know they’re appreciated?

ACCESS TO THE BIG TOP Access to the Big Top is solely available via the Tearfund Café.

LOST WRISTBANDS

11. Valuables left in tents or cars are left entirely at the owner’s risk.

If you lose your wristband the cost of a replacement is £5.00. These will only be replaced if verified by your leader (in person) and if ID is presented at the Admin Tent.

12. Litter must not be left around the site as there are plenty of bins available. Please use them!

Crossing into any area demarcated by red and white tape is forbidden (this will constitute trespassing).

13. No pets to be kept on-site. This is a festival run by humans for humans. Pets are not humans.

Summer Madness wishes to make it clear that it does not favour sectarian propaganda or proselytizing within the Christian fellowship and anyone involved in these practices will be escorted off-site. This means that any group or individual which uses the SM Festival and its facilities for such purposes does so against the spirit of the event and could face a ban from future events.

10. No unauthorised vehicles allowed in the festival village area.

LEADERS’ RESPONSIBILITIES Those who are identified on bookings as leaders are responsible for their group. Leaders should not allow campers under their care to go off-site without their permission or without a specific time at which to report back. Leaders should not go off-site without leaving some other adult responsible for their group and should inform the sub-camp leader of this change. In the case of an emergency, we need to be able to contact the leader as soon as possible.

Summer Madness reserves the right to cancel any booking (be it that of any individual or group) that the organisers deem necessary and escort all concerned parties off the premises if these ground rules are not observed.

SATURDAY SEMINARS 14:00 SOUL SISTA #1 GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN? Judith Camblin | Seminar One Yes, of course. Duh! But could there possibly be more? Could you, as a young woman of God, have a deeper, eternal destiny on your life? Do you dare to dream for more? Come along and discover with Judith more of the adventure God has for you. CINEMATIC SUPERHEROES AND WHAT THEY CAN TEACH US Neil Sedgewick | Seminar Two Superheroes are clogging up cinemas like never before. A cinematic universe has been created and we are all invited. What value do these films hold? Can they teach us anything to restore our faith other than the age old lesson of good triumphing over evil? By examining films like Captain America, The Incredible Hulk and Marvel’s Civil War, Neil Sedgewick from Films and Faith will discuss this and much more! MEN MADNESS #1 FOLLOW OR FALL OH! Jasper Rutherford | Seminar Three I like to do things. I like to be in control. If I am being honest I haven’t quite got this whole following Jesus thing figured out. Following is much harder than I first thought! Is being called the same as following? How do I know it’s really Jesus I am following? Jasper explores how, as men, we try and follow well. NOW IS THE TIME TO SEEK JUSTICE IJM | Campus In a world full of suffering, injustice and pain, we constantly meet the God of justice in the pages of the bible. There

are countless verses which speak of God’s heart for justice and his care for those who are oppressed, How can we, as young Christians, respond to what we see in the world and when compared to what we read in the bible? Our suggestion and challenge is that by looking at the world through the lens of the bible, out perspective begins to change. Rather than being overwhelmed by the enormity of injustice, we see countless opportunities to practically show the love of Jesus and the gospel to others. Join us as we share stories of the greatest light shining in the darkest of places. ENGAGING WITH AN UNREACHED GENERATION #1 Urban Saints | DNA Come and join us for a series of workshop seminars from different agencies exploring the issue of engaging with an unreached generation. 95% of children and young people in the UK and Ireland remain unreached by relational Christian youth and children’s work – rejecting Jesus out of ignorance, not rebellion - a missional challenge! The Urban Saints team will be exploring launching new missionary groups in your area. MAD LAB #1 PUTTING CHRIST INTO CHRISTIANITY Mike McCann & Steve Ames | CIYD “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christianity.” What did Gandhi mean by this? Does he have a point? What happens when following Christ goes against following Christianity? In this Mad Lab we put Gandhi’s words to the test and ask what we can learn from the results.

15:15 DO SCIENCE AND GOD COMPETE? David Glass | Seminar One Whether it is creation vs evolution, faith vs evidence, science vs miracles or the general progress of science, does science compete with God? Or could it be that science supports belief in God? The talk will also consider whether artificial intelligence shows that we are just sophisticated computing machines. CHURCH VERSUS POVERTY Hannah Douglas | Seminar Two Today’s culture doesn’t always remember the 1 in 9 who go to bed hungry every night. The question is can the church change this? What if God used the church to help people who are living in poverty? We all make a change in the world everyday, but we get to decide what that will look like. Together we are the Church...and together, the Church can take on poverty. ALPHA YOUTH LOUNGE Jonny Campbell | Seminar Three Want to share Jesus with your friends but worry about how they’ll respond? Convinced that evangelism must be about grace and truth together? Try Alpha. With stories of transformation from here & around the world come and explore how easy and exciting it is to #runAlpha for your friends, school, youth group & world! A QUESTION OF SPORT Chris Grant | DNA Should I train on a Sunday? What if my coach tells me to break the rules? Should I be going to the gym just to make myself look good? These are some of the questions young Christians involved in sport are asking. I aim to look at these issues from a Biblical perspective and to shed some light on how sport should be viewed.

MATT CHANDLER Q&A Matt Chandler | CIYD We’re delighted to have Matt Chandler with us at SM17. In this special session, Stu Bothwell will be interviewing Matt and giving space for you to ask your own questions.

16:30 DATING & ATTRACTION Matt Chandler | Seminar One Does God care who and how we date? What about attraction? In this seminar Matt Chandler will walk through the first chapter of Song of Solomon and look at the keen wisdom of Solomon as we consider, pursue and desire romantic relationships. MENTAL HEALTH #1 STRESS: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UNBEARABLE Dr Paul Millar | Seminar Three Some would say that there is an impending mental health crisis amongst our young student age group. A Christian Pscyhiatrist shares some insights into the best habits and defences that ‘emotionally healthy’ spirituality can offer. WHAT’S YOUR BLACK BIN BAG? Madlug, Proud, Aspire NI, Outside In | CIYD What does it take to start a movement, business or charity to deal with an issue of injustice? Come along and hear the stories of Madlug, Proud, Aspire NI and Outside In. You will leave inspired to make a difference.

The time is NOW to fight the good fight. Are you ready? Come along and find out how you can get equipped for battle. THE DRAMA OF SCRIPTURE: OUR STORY IN SIX ACTS Stu Bothwell | Seminar Two We’re going to attempt to work through the whole of the Bible in less than an hour! In this seminar, Stu will share how the Scriptures tell a great story, a story that we have been invited to be a part of. MEN MADNESS #2 TOOLED UP AND READY TO GO Jasper Rutherford | Seminar Three Armour is not just used to help us defend – it’s also to help us advance. As a young man how do I use what I have already been given? I want to get tooled up for the fight, but how do I get my hands on some gear? Well, come and find out! NOW IS THE TIME TO LOVE MERCY CEF | Campus What does it mean to love mercy and how can we actively show this to others? Join us as we explore how we can show mercy by not only living out the gospel, but by sharing it. We will unpack how we can share the gospel in an exciting way to our friends and family in a way that is full of grace and mercy

ENGAGING WITH AN UNREACHED GENERATION #2 YFC | DNA Come and join us for a series of workshop seminars from different agencies exploring the issue of engaging with an unreached generation. The YFC team will be looking at drop in centre ministries. MAD LAB #2 LOVE WINS? Mike McCann & Steve Ames | CIYD Religious people talk a lot about something called salvation. This is just a fancy way of talking about how humans are rescued by God - and it can get very complicated! But what would happen if we took a strictly Jesus approach to the subject? What did Jesus say himself and teach about salvation - does love really win in the end?

15:15 WHY BOTHER WITH THE BIBLE? Simon Lennox | Seminar One Do we really need to engage with the Bible to follow Jesus? How does God speak to us through words written thousands of years ago? How are we even meant to read, understand and apply the Bible? In this seminar we are going to tackle these questions and more by remembering why God gave us the Bible. We’ll do this by sharing our experiences, taking part in Q&A and getting equipped with bible study tips for a deeper encounter with God.

affect people all over the world. We are a generation that loves our global neighbours and builds equality. That means we choose to live differently. Join us for a practical seminar exploring everyday ideas to help you live more ethically. “I’VE GOT YOUR BACK!” HOW CAN I HELP MY FRIEND? Mark Kernohan | Seminar Three We’ve heard “It’s OK to not be OK”, but how do we support our friends when they are not OK? What should we do? Who should we speak to? How can we bring God’s hope when things are tough? Come along to this helpful seminar by The Big House team to learn, listen and join the discussion about the important role we have to play as friends. SPIRITUAL GIFTS Derek McKelvey | Campus This seminar will consider how to pray with people for healing wholeness and freedom. In particular we will look at the role of ‘hearing God’ and seeking to speak and pray what is on his heart into the situation. There will be opportunity to practice as well as teaching.. THE JUSTICE SESSIONS IJM | CIYD Calling all youth leaders - what is your responsibility in empowering a generation to seek God’s heart for justice? Hear from a panel who have encountered the devastating effects of modern slavery in India. Join us for the exclusive launch of a new UK youth bible study resource for groups, The Justice Sessions, and receive your free copy.

16:30 MENTAL HEALTH #2 THE PETER PAN SYNDROME Dr Paul Millar | Seminar One Knowing how to cope with those big transition moments in life is something that none of us can take for granted. Dr Paul Millar helps us explore this as part of our mental health stream. WHEN GOD DISAPPOINTS Alain Emerson | Seminar Three Through Alain’s personal story of tragedy, and his journey with others, come and learn how we can process times of great suffering in our lives, journeying into restoration and hope. YOUR STORY MATTERS Jasper Rutherford | DNA We give this seminar space over to you. Come prepared to this seminar to share your story of how you gave your life to Jesus. We want to hear your story and let other people hear your story. You get 3-5 minutes so come prepared. MIND THE GAP The Big House | CIYD What is our responsibility as youth leaders for the pastoral care of our young people? Where are the gaps? Youth leaders, volunteers and the church as a whole has vital role to play - come along to learn, listen and join the discussion.

MONDAY SEMINARS 14:00 SOUL SISTA #3 / MEN MADNESS #3 YOU NEVER WALK ALONE Judith Camblin & Jasper Rutherford | Seminar One We are not built as men or women to do this thing called faith on our own. We are called to strengthen one another. This joint seminar with Soul Sista and Men Madness will look at how we can strengthen one another in our faith. We are not built for solo runs. How can we champion one another and call out the things of the Kingdom. Plenty of time for ministry and praying for one another. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU DIE? Bishop Fanta Clarke | Seminar Two Many of us try to avoid thinking about death; it seems too far away or too unknown. The truth is, through Christ’s resurrection, we as Christians have nothing to fear. In fact, we can find remarkable hope in death. Bishop Ken Clarke will explore the hope we can experience now and in the future. REFORMATION REFORMED WHO? Father Martin Magill, Rev Philip Benson and Stu Bothwell | Seminar Three How does a Catholic Priest see the benefit of the Protestant Reformation? How does a Protestant Minister see the benefit of Roman Catholicism? Martin and Philip talk about how “the other side” views on faith impacts their own faith and the faith of their wider community. Stu will host this session with time for questions at the end. NOW IS THE TIME TO WALK HUMBLY Fields of Life | Campus As we walk each day following Jesus we are encouraged to walk humbly with God,

but what does this mean? Join us as we share stories about how God is using his people around the world to help those who are in the greatest need and how you, as a young person can continue this story of humility and service as you continue to follow Jesus. MY JOB, MY CALLING, MY LIFE, AND HOW THEY ALL RELATE Peter Lynas | CIYD So often ‘our calling’ can get mixed up in our exam results and the jobs we work. Is this really how we are to look at it? Peter will help us explore this area and unpack more about how God wants us to view our jobs, our callings and our lives.

15:15 LOVE ACTUALLY Rachel Gardner | Seminar One This is your one, wild life. The only way to live it well is to live well in love. The only way to live well in love is to let God love you, and others through you. Don’t settle for being defined by glamour, social media status or anything else. You are worth so, so, so much more. INSTAGRAM RUINED MY LIFE, BUT NOW I LOVE IT! Hannah Cribb | Seminar Two I spent so much time on social media but it crushed my confidence, stole my identity and distracted my focus. Luckily, I gave it a second chance and now I love the huge stage it is giving our generation to fight poverty. Come and hear how we can use our phones to make a global impact.

NEW CHRISTIANS: FOLLOWING JESUS AFTER MADNESS Stephen Whitten & Xplore | Seminar Three The Christian walk is supposed to be just that – a walk! Making a decision to follow Jesus is just the start. This seminar is to help you grow in your relationship with God when you get back home. It’s a must if you have come to faith at the festival and for youth workers if young people in your group have come to faith. ASK US ANYTHING Lisa Kernoghan, Judith Camblin, Simon Lennox, Jasper Rutherford and Rick Hill | Campus Sit round a table, with a recognised leader, with a cup of free coffee and ask them anything you want! Put them on the spot or glean some wisdom. You will have 10-12 minutes at each table and then move to the next prisoner, sorry we mean leader. This seminar only has space for 35 people and is on a first come first served basis. UNDERSTANDING TRANS Peter Lynas | CIYD It’s hitting the news in one form or another on a more frequent basis and the ‘Trans’ issue is one which can easily confuse and befuddle the church. So maybe this is a good time to get ahead of the conversation and ensure that you know how to characterize grace and truth!

16:30 FAKE NEWS, DOES THE TRUTH MATTER? David Blevins, Ruth Dudley Edwards, Danny Morrison and Peter Lynas | Seminar One Sometimes there are competing versions of a story or a history and sometimes there are stories based on

little or no evidence. How do we find the truth in all of this? Indeed, nowadays we are often told that there is no objective truth just ‘my’ version and ‘yours’. Our panel will help us to explore these issues. ENTERTAINED OR EQUIPPED? Rick Hill | Seminar Three You’re living in an age of opportunity; a time full of potential for growth as a disciple of Jesus. Yet, sometimes we can find ourselves being more entertained than equipped. In this interactive seminar, Rick will be exploring the foundations of discipleship and what it looks like for us to experience growth through the Church, Mission, Disciplines and Relationships. CAN WE TALK, WILL YOU LISTEN? Young People, Laura Whinnery, Catherine Simpson, Thomas McConaghie and Stuart Douglas | Campus Are you keen to bring your questions regarding Christian faith in current culture to those in Christian leadership and discuss among your peers? You are invited to a unique gathering where young people will be central to the conversation.

24-7 Prayer

The Campus

Right now different people, from different nations all around the world are praying in 24-7 prayer rooms in all sorts of different locations! Churches, schools, prisons and high streets to give just a quick sample. So why should Summer Madness be any different? During the festival we’ll be praying from 8am to midnight (we know, not quite 24 hours!) The prayer room is a creative and interactive space for you to come and spend time chatting with God through words, art, music, activity and silence. Our desire is that the prayer room will be a place where you can meet with God, where you can process what He is saying to you throughout the festival and pray big prayers for your family, friends, church and the nation! You are so welcome to make use of the prayer room. Sign yourself up for a slot and get along with God or gather up some of your friends and come spend an hour praying for one another and seeking God. The prayer room will be closed during the Main Stage Sessions. There are two entrances to the prayer room; one through the Campus venue and one via the building attached the Campus courtyard. For more information on prayer rooms or 24-7 Prayer, please call in and say hello to us during the festival or check out our website: 24-7prayerireland.com

The Journal We believe God speaks to us and we’re praying that you will hear from Him at Summer Madness this year. With all that’s going on at the festival, it easy to forget so we wanted to create some space in your day and in the festival guide for you to pause, reflect and write down the things that God is speaking. Every morning, there’s time before Main Stage worship to get with your group, to pray, to open the bible and use this journal. Make this journal your own and feel free to cover it with your thoughts, takeaways, highlights and prayers.

TOTAL RECALL

PRAYER MINISTRY

This year we are releasing all the Mainstage talks and seminars on one memory stick. Packed with all the sights and sounds of SM17, this little beauty will allow you to revisit all of those bits of the festival that you missed or don’t want to forget. All this for £10, it’s cheaper than a burger and chips for two, but far more filling for the soul.

The Prayer Team are a dedicated bunch of all-agers who are keen to help you connect with God and will be available after every Main Stage worship gathering (somewhere near the front). They’ll also be available in the 24-5 Prayer Venue during the afternoons and can be seen on site in their BLUE POLOS.

There will be a limited number available at the end of the festival. You can also order after the festival online at summermadness.co.uk/festival

There’s no funny business: your first name and what you want prayer for is all we ask. We keep confidences unless criminal or abuse issues, suspected or actual are raised.

THANK YOU We couldn’t run Summer Madness without the hundreds of volunteers who serve the festival so well. Thank you to each of you for your enthusiasm and commitment - you’re all legends. We’re also grateful for the following groups for their continued support: Antrim Estates Ltd Ardbarron Trust Boring Wells Box 42 Café Smart Chain Reaction Cycles Church Army CIYD Community Relations Council CJ Hire Cyril Johnston Trust David Cavan Photography Glenarm Baptist Church House of Vic Ryn J33 Trust Johnston Campbell Leeburn Financial Services Lowden Guitars Mid And East Antrim Council Maine Minerals Production House Group Scripture Union TBF Thompson Trust Watson Steel Wilson Tools Glenavy
