ALOVE to Host Youth Rally: Inside Out

|PIC1|Salvation Army ALOVE will host its annual youth rally next year, taking place10 February, 2007.

The rally, "Inside Out", will be held in two venues, one in Watford and the other in Glasgow.

Featured speakers and special guests at the Watford Colosseum this year include Dweeb, DJ Jim Rivers, Sarah Grace and speaker Ian Henderson among others.

This year, rock band Electralyte and speaker Russ Rook, who graced the stage at last year's Watford event, will attend the rally in Glasgow, at the Adelaide Baptist Church.

Last year, hundreds of young Christians attended the ALOVE youth rally to "explore what it means for the ALOVE community to live a life devoted to God and be alive in him".

Special features at the event included a special production of NGM's 'Luv Esther,' and a vibrant gig led by worship group Electralyte.

Between breaks, attendees visited the ALOVE Life Market Place and explored the multiple training opportunities ALOVE provided for worship, mission, discipleship and social action.

A new training course called 'Essential' launched at last year's the event, replacing the original Timothy programme that played an important role in training young people within The Salvation Army in the past 15 years.

'Essential' aims to provide 18-24 year olds with a 'next-step' in life, whether it is starting a job, considering Salvation Army officership, or just looking for a change of direction.

Representatives handed out Essential guide booklets that contained information about the new course.

"The course is focused on equipping young people to pursue the four ALOVE essentials of worship, discipleship, mission and social action," said Carrie Cummings, ALOVE's Personal Development & Training Coordinator.
