Bank holiday on 29th August 2011 was a great day at the Littlehampton Seashore for LTCC. It was really a fantastic and excellent experience. We had more perplexion before we saw that day; how many of us will join? In the end many turned up with great joy! Driver offered a lot of generous hospitality. The Coach journey to and from was full of fun, music and dance!
Shared meal………Food was brought by many and it was a shared meal. People prepared the space with mats and sheets to lay the food beautifully and respectfully. It was well organised. That was the great characteristic of LTCC! No one was prepared to eat before giving thanks to God. Health and safety rules were observed too. So Hand Gel and Serviettes were distributed.
Fun began with some excellent games. A family and Community concept never gets rid off from LTCC gatherings! That is our Culture too…. Games were played with all age groups. Cricket brought all men together! All games spelt out beautiful reflections from the participants.
Six married couples were chosen to play a secret game. Wives answered the questions separately away from their Husbands and then husbands were asked to join their wives to guess what would have been their wives’ answer to the same questions. It was a great fun when they said the same or different answers. This gave a reflection at the end by asking the question as to how I can compare a couple who have been married for three years with a couple married for thirty six years.
It was a fantastic reflection to hear years do not matter, but the love and desire matters in married life. God’s love is also like this!
Some went for a walk; some had a rail journey; some had time in the Sea; some had Coffee fellowship. There is no doubt that all had a relaxing time which helped us all to recharge our batteries!
Surrounding Greenery there inspired us that God’s creation was bright and beautiful! Our togetherness enabled us to feel we are all one!
All glory to God who had given this great opportunity and joy!
