The FAB Summer Holiday Club ran from Monday 21 Aug – Friday 25 Aug. A team of volunteers had been trained and were ready to welcome 40 primary aged children over the course of the week. Each evening started at 6.30 with a FAB introduction. Then after a team game, each participant was challenged to attempt 8 different tasks and complete a card. After juice and biscuits, Stephen helped us to think about how God gives us what we need as we go through life. We looked at some B ible stories to help us. (David and Goliath, Jacob’s sleep at the bottom of a Heavenly staircase, Mary who washed Jesus’ feet and Jonah and the whale)
Even though Friday evening was a wash out, ninety children and
parents came to a Family night with BBQ. A big thank you to everyone who gave of their time and helped to bring the good news of Jesus into young lives
Summer Madness 2017
Five of our young people attended the Summer Madness festival in Glenarm at the beginning of July. In all there were approximately 1500 people in attendance from all over Ireland. The camping was a bit drier this year. Once up in the morning, there was lots to do. Each day started with a session in the Big Top followed by a host of activities (seminars, sports events and even sailing) After tea, which was once again cooked and supplied by Connor diocese under the watchful eye of Rev Mark Taylor, we benefited from an evening session in the Big Top. It was a great occasion when all involved grew in their faith and were challenged to live as disciples of Jesus. One of the favourite late evening events was the UV disco party following the Big Top. Thank you to the Select Vestry who once again subsidised the cost of the tickets. God willing, we will be there again next year.
Summer has begun!
and in many ways. All our kids are now off school and raring to go for their summer holidays. For all you lucky ones heading away this summer, we hope you have a brilliant time away.
If you’re staying a little closer to home this summer there are a few big events on to choose from.
Summer Madness @ Glenarm started today and some of our young folk will be there again this year. It’s on until the 4th July with plenty of seminars, workshops and fun activities so why not head on over for a visit.
Following soon after summer madness is New Wine down in Sligo. It’s running from 9th – 14th of July and is well worth the trip.
Then in August we have New Horizon up in Coleraine running from the 5th – 11th in the university campus. This is another excellent week of Bible teaching, praise and worship.
And last, but by no means least it’s our very own Big FAB Holiday Club! Back again after its break last year it’s running from 21st – 25th of August. Check out the event page here for more details closer to the time.
Happy holidays!
