The 2024 Annual Church Picnic was held at Yas Waterworld, Abu Dhabi on 2nd December.
Yas Waterworld's theme is based on an original story developed for the waterpark: The Legend of The Lost Pearl. Yas Waterworld reflects traditional Emirati architecture in the entirety of the waterpark's design. It includes a detailed references to historic Emirati heritage with an Arabian castle-like exterior design, and a village-like interior design. The waterpark's attractions are grouped into four categories: Adrenaline Rush (extreme thrill), Exciting Adventures (high thrill), Moving and Grooving, and Young Fun (low thrill). The highest rides are Jebel Drop and Hamlool's Humps, and the fastest is Liwa Loop. The waterpark includes six rides that can’t be found anywhere else in the world: Bandit Bomber, Bubble’s Barrel, Cinesplash, Dawwama, Falcon’s Falaj and Slithers Slides.
Around 200 participants left from the Holy Trinity Church Dubai compound at 6.45 am, with prayer by our Vicar Rev. Raju Jacob. There was a halt for breakfast, enroute to Abu Dhabi for a day filled with fun and fellowship. The full day program gave the participants an opportunity to experience adventurous water rides.
The exemplary efforts and coordination by the convenors Mr. Shibu Samuel and Mr. Kevin Koshy Joseph supported by various organisations and volunteers from the parish, ensured that the picnic was a memorable experience for all participants. Thanking God for his protection and guidance for a safe trip.
