Black Stump 2008
Miss that WYD buzz? Miss hanging out with a bunch of people where it’s easy to be Christian? Miss hearing great bands and teaching? You don’t have to wait for 2011 in Madrid…….
Black Stump is a Christian festival of music, arts and teaching, held every year in Sydney. It generally attracts around 5000 people, and has a similar “vibe” to World Youth Day, though obviously on a smaller scale, and in an ecumenical environment. It’s the 3rd – 6th of October 2008,
Sandhurst Youth Ministry are taking a minibus through the diocese, then up to Sydney, offering 11 places to people 16-25ish to attend Black Stump this year. Applications close 26th August.
· Black Stump is a Christian Festival of Music, Arts and Teaching. It’s in Sydney
· It’s a bit like WYD, but on a smaller scale (about 5000 people, which is still huge)
· It’s not just Catholic, but includes people different Christian backgrounds.
· And you camp. Not classroom camping, but camping in a tent, sitting outside round the gas burner (as if it’s a real fire) cooking our own food…Well, some of it anyway.
· Stump’s been going for about 20 years, so they know what they’re doing. They get great bands & awesome preachers.
· More info, or to properly read the text bits we grabbed from their poster and website, or just to generally get more of an idea what it is all about: See www.blackstump.org.au
· But like WYD, you won’t understand it until you go……
