WHAT A NIGHT!
Well, last night was the official launch event for the Southampton Passion at Central Hall and it was a really great evening!
A good crowd came to worship God, hear more about the vision and how they can be involved and to pray for the project. The worship band were fanstastic and really inspired us to draw near to God and focus on the sacrifice that Jesus made for each of us. Paul Finn shared about the vision for Love Southampton that SCN are establishing and how the Passion fits into this mission strategy for our city.
It was then over to me to share the vision for the Passion - and even though I was feeling slightly nervous and anxious before the meeting I was so excited after the worship time that I couldn't wait to get up there and share my heart for this project. It was a real privilege to be able to stand and speak to people about what God has put in my heart and to know that there was an incredible team of people working with me to communicate this vision.
Clive did a great job of informing people about our fundraising strategy and showing how reaching our target budget is very achievable. Sam shared her heart for praying for the Passion and inspired others to join us in this area of the project and showed us how God had already been answering our prayers so far! We then walked across to Hoglands Park and stood together and prayed the 'Passion Prayer' (see Prayer page), before we spilt into smaller groups to pray about specific areas of the project.
I want to say a HUGE thank you to all of the team who were involved in last night - it was a real encouragement to me to see how you worked together and pulled off a great evening.
All in all it was a great night that set a marker for the project, that we are seeking to achieve excellence in this production and are trusting God to lead us every step of the way. There was a really positive response to the vision and I believe that the team will now grow as more people see what role they can play and want to join us on this adventure!

HAPPY EASTER!!!
The Passion is going great and the production team continues to grow with really skilled, talented and experienced people getting on board. I can honestly say that I am more excited about this now than I have ever been before! It is going to be an incredible journey that will result in an amazing event that puts Jesus back at the heart of Easter... come on, be part of it with us and let us know how you can be involved in bringing this vision to life!
There is so much happening to make the Passion a success and I want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who is already working hard on various aspects of the project. The Daily Echo, Radio Solent and Meridian are now following the story of the Passion and will be running stories and interviews over the coming year. The stage design is looking great and we're now in the process of looking at the logistics of how we build it, light it and make the actors clearly heard. We're in the process of finalising our budget and coming up with a strategy of how we will raise the funds needed to stage a large event like this... so if you would be interested in supporting the Passion financially please get in touch with us for more details.
HAPPY EASTER... BE BLESSED!
