The AWKWARD questions...
Summer Madness is known as a place where you can question, test and explore your faith and new ideas. Sometimes it may be difficult or controversial issues, sometimes the focus might be on really getting to grips with some really important aspects of faith.
This year we have a bit of a focus on questions that some non-Christians may want to ask. Stuff that they find hard to deal with, which holds them back from faith. And we have a specific session, just looking at the BIBLE and some of the harder passages or doctrines that may puzzle even a Bishop :-)
These two seminars (check out page 55&57 of the handbook) invite a great deal of audience participation and we'd like you to submit your questions - even before the event.
Here is a little form you can use to ask whatever you like - about the Bible or about difficulties/doubts that you (or your friends) may have..

LEADERS HANBOOK FOR SM10
We expect every Leader to do his/her duty :-)
So you may be new to the Madness or an old hand. It might be a large group or just a small bunch of friends on an outing....- but it's always good to keep up to date with what we the organisers are thinking!
We keep it really simple - every one is at SM to enjoy themselves and benefit from the big experience of God - make sure your actions help that to happen for others as well.

SUNDAY NIGHT MADNESS
A 4th OF JULY SPECIAL
So, on the Sunday at Madness we are organising a special 'seeker friendly' service in the evening - that you should feel comfortable inviting your non-Christian friends along to (as if SM is anything else!!) But if you are praying for someone in particular and would like to invite them to join you at Madness for all or part of the day, you can request a special 'free pass' for the Sunday evening. This is open to any camper booked in to the Festival for the week-end. All we ask is that any camper wishing to avail of this evangelistic opportunity logs on to this link and leaves us the details. The person concerned will be put on a 'guest list' and can pick up their free pass at the Admin tent at Madness. We will do our best to confirm with the group 'leader' who has been invited. Keep praying....
Who SHARES WINS
WHO SHARE WINS
Have you ever thought what might happen if the entire Madness camp decided to do one big collective Act of Random Kindness: so here's the thinking....
1. We have huge gathering at the King’s Hall in July with the theme “Dare to Share”
2. StreetReach, and things like StreetReach, are now happening all over the province throughout the year....including this summer
3. One of the best things we ever did at StreetReach all those years ago was to offer a free jumble sale. People came in looking to buy clothes and found that we were either giving them away or asking for very little.
4. Many ordinary people are struggling these days to make ends meet financially..….

So will you dare to share some of your clothes this year?
When we say share we actually mean give away. Dig through your bag right now and bring something clean to the collection point at main stage worship. This can be part of your worship. There will be “StreetReaches” (or similar) in Belfast, Londonderry, Portadown and Ballymena, which will all be able to bless other people because of your simple act of generosity.
The clothes should be of good quality and up to the mark fashionably.
Come on, share it! You're getting to Summer Madness - let someone else have the T-shirt!.AND IN KEEPING WITH THE TITLE... WE WILL GIVE AWAY 2 FREE SM11 TICKETS TO THE PERSON WHO DONATES THE MOST ITEMS!!!!
RTE to broadcast Sunday service from Summer Madness 2010
RTE (in the guise of Kairos Communications) will be filming at Summer Madness this year to produce an hour long 'Songs of Praise' type programme, to be broadcast a week or two after the Festival.
So maybe you'd better pack that extra/clean t-shirt and emergency 'lippy' - should be asked for a few words or if you are caught on camera singing your heart out or just munching on a burger.
...but we do have a few other ideas for those extra bits and pieces that you might pack..(see the Random Acts of Kindness article...)
