What is it?
‘BodyBuilders’ houseparties are packed with interest and provide excellent value for money. Campers are given the opportunity to explore new places, meet new friends, and take part in exciting activities!

Organised Houseparty activities include sports and games sessions, plus trips into the New Forest, a jaunt to the beach and a splash in a nearby swimming pool.
During ‘free time’ campers can just ‘chill out’ or use the onsite facilities e.g. table-tennis, badminton, table-football and a variety of board games.
The Houseparty is Christian based. That means that each day all campers take part in various forms of Bible study and prayer. The main learning time takes place in an action packed, fast paced programme called ‘T.G.S.’ (The God Slot).

‘BodyBuilders’ Houseparty is an inter-church event run by ‘Counties’ Hampshire.

‘Under the Spotlight’
Counties Evangelist Penny Curley interviewing BBHP Cooks. Maureen King who was saved through the ministry Counties Evangelist Dick Saunders and Louise Majnusz who was saved through the ministry of Counties Evangelist Bob Telford.
“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last” (John 15:16 NIV).

‘BodyBuilders’ Houseparty 2024 starts tonight at 7.30pm.

We will be squeezed, squashed, stuffed, scrunched, packed, compressed and jammed into various rooms at our Church venue.

We are planning to invade The Llittledown Centre – in the swimming pool can anyone beat The Moose on the Crusher Assault Course?

In Swanage it’s sunshine and ice-cream, drooling at the very thought of it!

A night-time hike over Hengistbury Head Nature Reserve.

And to top it all off our last activity of the weekend a visit to Avon Heath Country Park!

I am shattered just looking at the programme for the bank holiday weekend!

Then throw in a great team of helpers, a little bit of chill time, some Bible teaching from yours truly and some indoor games activities, and of course plenty of good food, food that can only be described as “beyond delicious.”

Me thinks it all adds up to one unforgettable weekend!

BodyBuilders Houseparty starts today! (Fri to Monday) – Please Pray:

 Praise God for a good number of youth and leaders (43 onsite).

Evangelism @ Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London.

“I shake but my rock moves not!” – Charles Spurgeon

Speakers Corner in London’s Hyde Park is the oldest free speech platform in the world. People won the right to speak in mass protests in the 1860s and early 1870s. Some people believe the tradition is connected to the right of the condemned to a last speech before being hung at the Tyburn gallows, a practice that stopped at the end of the 18th century. Every Sunday people from all sorts of convictions come to Hyde Park in the afternoon to spead their message or to have fun.
