Some StAY Alive Events

The Vigil:
A concert style overnight event that takes place every year on the Friday of the week immediately before Easter. Themed around the Easter message participants are drawn to the reality of the message of the Cross and the suffering Christ underwent for the gift of salvation.
The event takes a participatory approach with attendants being encouraged to participate directly.

Madaraka Day Visitation:
While the group is involved in visitations through out the year the annual Madaraka Day Visitation makes a deliberate effort in involving the wider St Andrews Community in being part of it. Each year a home to be visited is identified which the group visits and spends the entire day with taking part in all their activities, giving a hand in chores and having time to spend with the visited individually and as a group. Homes that have been visited include the St Nicholas Home in Karen, Ebenezer Children's Home in Kiserian and Tumaini Mpya Children's Home Dandora .

Down To Beracah - The Concert:
This annual event celebrates the talent that God has bestowed on us. Growing from a Talent Show in 2000 to an Extravaganza in 2001 with membership participation only, the event now draws a wide range of guests with whom the membership interacts, learns from and exchanges ideas with. Some of the renowned artists who have graced the Down To Beracah Concert include: Voices United Choir, Chizi, Kamau Karongo, Webi, Wangeci Mbogoh, Mercy Masika, Nkatha, C-FU, Abraham, Spiritual Boosters, The Brothers Family among others. Beracah takes place in August to coincede with the annual Youth Week.

phd PRAIS-ATHON:
In conjunction with the St Andrews Praise Team and a host of accomplished instrumentalists and vocalists, StAY Alive holds a marathon of praise every October. phd [Pullin' Heaven Down] Prais-Athon is a live, inclusive praise and worship experience encouraging a personal encounter with God. The first of this annual event took place in 2005!!
