Spain trip

This summer saw the first ever OCC youth team hit Europe...

Date: Sat, 30th July to Mon, 8th August

Destination: Badajoz, Western Spain.

Mission: to help and bless the church there in whatever ways we could... That meant we spend mornings running a kids' club and painting toilets; afternoons at the pool whilst the Spaniards slept, and evenings with the youth on the edge of the church and around the city.

Hold your mouse over to find out what's going on here:

These evenings included making friends with random break-dancers in parks, teaching them some Coldplay, and eating a considerable amount of ice-cream (to fit in, obviously).

We even had a nice day off in Merida, the Roman capital of Spain.

After the success of this trip, demand is high for future expeditions from the Shire...

Watch out for more trips coming up next summer!
