LISBURN
Have you been looking for an opportunity for your young people to impact their community? Well look no further. A project called Street Reach Lisburn, now in its third year, will be taking place in five areas across the city of Lisburn over the Easter break, 27th– 29th March 2008. The project is practical in nature giving young people in Year 11+ the opportunity to express their faith through simple actions such as street parties, children’s clubs, games, creative arts, painting, graffiti removal, gardening and litter picking. We feel that it is important for the young people of our city to go and show how God has changed their lives and how they want to serve Him in their community. This is an amazing opportunity for young people from all church denominations to come together united by their passion to serve God in a practical way.
StreetReach Lisburn 2008 will be working in Lambeg, Hillhall/Low Road, Knockmore/Tonagh, Ballymacash, and City Centre. The cost is £20, which includes dinner for the three nights and a Streetreach Lisburn T-shirt. A typical day will consist of a morning worship/devotion session, two work sessions, lunch (bring your own packed lunch), and dinner. On Saturday 29th we are hosting an outreach BBQ/Concert in the centre of Lisburn from 4:00pm, followed by a celebration time for Streetreachers.
DATES: - March 27th -29th
