1st-16th July 2000 @ Poynton Pool Every day something new for Everyone

The world may have changed a lot in 2000 years, but Jesus is still the same, yesterday, today and for ever. He is still amazing and powerful, as caring and compassionate, still as challenging and radical as ever. But then, he's still God. So all seven congregations of the Church in Poynton have got together to celebrate that fact, moving out of our buildings and into the open , for a 16 day Festival of Life using seven marquees by Poynton Pool in the Park.

The Festival Village site at Poynton Pool consists of Jabula, The Telling Place, The Chapel, The Oasis Garden, Christian Love in Action Exhibition, The Playground, Children's Marquee and Crèche, Main Events Marquee.
The Oasis Garden constructed on a field where days earlier sheep were grazing, and transformed by planting out trees and plants from the Bible. It is right in the heart of the festival village and is a quiet place to sit, talk and reflect.
The first Christian chapel in Poynton was built in 1312 near this site. The festival chapel is built out of canvas and beautifully decorated. 

A marquee showing some of the ways the church is engaged in meeting the practical and spiritual needs of people here and overseas, as well as presenting some of the serious issues facing our world. Organizations such as Christian Aid, Tear Fund, CAFOD and Jubilee 2000 can so easily make a difference to life.

The Telling Place is relaxed and informal, full of things to learn and experience.
The Children's Marquee and Crèche is the venue for children's activities.
Jabula is Zulu for 'be happy'. It's not just the refreshment marquee, but a place to meet, talk and chill out. A place too to find music playing, displays and a variety of activities throughout the festival. Open daily, all day till late.

The main marquee for all the major events taking place over the two weeks. All seven congregations working together in Poynton will have combined services here on each of the three Sundays.

"It's a Knockout"

The first event on the first day of the Festival was "It's a Knockout", despite the rain - good fun was had by all.
