Dawn - LIVE

Dawn Live was amazing - the sky was clear as we arrived on the top of the mountain and the first rays of the dawn were just appearing over the horizon to light the path up the the trig point. Admittidly it was a little cold in the wind on the top but that simply made it a moving occasion in more than one way. We took plenty of photos on the top to try and share what we saw but you really had to be there to understand.

By the time we got back to Cyncoed we were already talking about how we could do it again next year so keep an eye out for when we start planning our Easter celebration for 2011!

Don't forget to tell everyone what we saw on the mountain and share your Dawn photos on our Facebook group.

A gathering of the young people of the Cardiff Methodist Circuit on Caerphilly Mountain to watch the sun rise together on Easter Morning. With a service of contemplation and celebration followed by Bacon Baps before the adults arrive for their wimpy sunrise service at 08:30 a whole two hours after we watch the sun rise over the hills.

Of course to make all of this happen smoothly we are planning a sleepover the night before in Cyncoed Methodist Church and to run a minibus up onto the mountain.

We meet on Saturday night at around 20:30 in Cyncoed Methodist Church.
A few games to make sure we know each other and a telling of the story so far
Sleeping on a church floor together
05:15 wakeup call so that we are ready to leave the church ontime
05:45 set off for the mountain in minibuses
06:15 service starts in quiet contemplation on Caerphilly Mountain
06:28 DAWN / SUNRISE
Service continues in songs of praise as Christ IS Alive.
After our service bacon baps (or veggi option) and tea will be cooked to warm us up whilst some more games and kite flying ensue.
07:30 Adults from ecumenical churches around Caerphilly and Cardiff come for their Sunrise Service and we will join them in song for this
08:30 Young People can either be met by parents/carers on the mountain (by pre-arrangement) otherwise at 08:30 we will head back to Cyncoed Methodist Church to meet up with family and share that easter joy with our own churches around the circuit.
