The music for this year’s labyrinth was specially composed for it by Geoff Walker. Crossover has permission for limited distribution of this work. In other words, this means that, within limits, it can be made available to others who may like to replicate the Crossover labyrinth in their own church or group.

The package includes the music with voiceovers and ‘instructions’ for each station with all the graphics that were used. These graphics are covered by the Creative Commons licensing rules and may be used freely but not re-sold.

If you are interested in making use of the labyrinth package, please contact me and I will pass on the download location. Be aware that the download package is 72M in size. Please help us conserve our site bandwidth allowance and only ask for the download if you genuinely have a use for it.

Please note that you may not further distribute the labyrinth package without permission from Geoff as he is still the copyright holder.

Ten Crossovers have now been done. I’ve had the privilege of being at all ten and I have a great collection of memories from them. The mud slide at Crossover #1; balloon popping in a nuclear bunker (and getting a row); Mr. Cow; building a ‘tent’ for a labyrinth (and getting a slagging about it); epic snoring. These are just a very few that spring to mind.

We’d love to hear your favourite memory from Crossover.

Did you meet someone at Crossover you can’t get in touch with?

Post a comment with your Bebo page details or an email address (but be prepared for spam if you do) and see if you can re-establish contact.

Please don’t post mobile numbers.

I’m sure that there are loads of piccies around from Crossover 2008. If you’ve created your own online photo album, email me and I’ll add it here.

New Monkland

More to add soon.

The Crossover 2008 photo gallery is now available for viewing. If you are a group leader, you can email me and I’ll set up an album for your group.

ps - did anyone spot the wildlife at Broomlee?

Isn’t it cute?

So what did you think of Crossover 2008?

What was your favourite part? Did you meet new friends? Did you get to know God better? Were you challenged, annoyed, humbled, exhilarated?

Let us know!

The daily programme for Crossover 2008 can be downloaded from our downloads area. Have a look and plan your weekend to make the most of your time.

I know you can never tell what Scottish weather will be like in 12 minutes time never mind 12 days, but I couldn’t resist having a look. So far, it’s quite promising. Here’s a screen grab courtesy of Metcheck.

If you haven’t already booked yet, don’t worry, there’s still plenty of time. There’s even some accommodation still available for those who don’t like the full Crossover camping experience. But hurry, it’ll not be there for too much longer.

Crossover is now only 7 weeks away and the programme for the weekend is falling into place. We’ve got some exciting new visitors this year including Mission Aviation Fellowship who will be bringing their exhibition trailer (complete with small cinema and flight simulators) and a Cessna plane (for show only unfortunately).

The inflatables will be featuring 2 brand new items (I’ll save those as a surprise) and a bungee run challenge with a difference.

The Girls’ Brigade has got some cool crafts lined up for you to do as well as their disco-diva preparation sessions.

If films are your thing then the cinema has a fantastic mix for your viewing pleasure. From The Constant Gardener to Bruce Almighty and Amazing Grace to Happy Feet there’s plenty to get you thinking or just to keep you entertained.

Christian Aid and the Church of Scotland’s Mission and Discipleship Council are teaming up once more to bring you the MaD Hoose. There will be something for everyone with FairTrade eats and drinks in the COSY coffeehouse as well as mad games, challenges and great educational resources. A giant ‘nots and crosses’ tournament is planned for the weekend down in Stage 2, with the final taking place during Plunge on Saturday night. And don’t forget to get your tonsils limbered up or your fingers free for the Singstar and Guitar Hero sessions.

The labyrinth, ceilidh and disco will all be there too.

There are plenty more things in the pipeline, but I think I’ll save them for another day.
