Riviera debut for Rising Lights

Visitors to the en exhibition stand.

In the English Riviera town of Torquay, Devon, approximately 1,400 adults and 600 young people gathered for Rising Lights. The debut Easter holiday event was organised by the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC).

The morning main sessions were on Philippians and led by Paul Mallard. The evening celebrations were themed “Moments with Moses” – journeying through Exodus, with Mike Cain, Maurice McCracken, Rick Raja and John Stevens. Evening worship was led by Phil Moore.

A further combination of evangelical voices hosted Tracks, Seminars, Training Hubs and Drop-ins. All of this was in addition to the extensive Kids and Youth programme, run by Growing Young Disciples, and a plethora of other things to do, including bouncing on the inflatables in the Fun Zone (which, to our amusement, was right by en’s exhibition stand!).
