the worship leaders
Ok, ok. We know you want to find out who'll be leading our times of worship to Jesus in the Big Top, but we're not going to tell you just yet... mainly because we don't know! Rest assured that there will be members of the Soul Survivor Team and maybe a guest or two as well! We'll let you know nearer the summer, when things become a little clearer.
