A Caring Ministry
�Older people can often be
neglected by family and community so we plan to visit our senior
members and make them feel the week includes them�, said the
minister, Rev Robert McCollum.
Summer Bible School
Children had a special place in
the ministry of Jesus so we plan to cater for children (ages
4-12) in Ballymacash each evening. A Bible Club will also be
held each afternoon beside the housing developments near the
church.
Time-line
Presentation of the Bible
A PowerPoint presentation will be
held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon from 4.00pm to
4.45pm. The topics are: Monday � �Genesis to Calvary�;
Wednesday � �Old Testament History�; Friday � �Jesus
and the Gospels�. �These presentations�, said the minister,
�are a teaching tool to help us understand the Bible more
clearly.�
Open Air Service
There will be an Open Air Service on Wednesday evening from
7.15pm to 7.45pm in the church car park.
Book Fair
A wide range of Christian books
catering for all ages will be on display for sale on Thursday.
Barbeque
A barbeque will be held on Friday night at 6.30pm, in the church
car park.
Special Guest Service
A special guest service on Sunday
evening (27th August) at 7.00 pm will be the climax
of the week. Mr. McCollum has taken as his theme, �Where is
God when things go wrong�. He commented, �People are often
perplexed by the extent of human suffering in the world. At
this service I will be showing from the Bible why suffering
exists and how we are to react to it.� To publicize this
service a team from the congregation will be visiting the
neighborhood, giving out 5,000 invitations.
The congregation is
hoping for good weather for all the outdoor events - especially
the Open Air Service on Wednesday evening and the barbeque on
Friday night.
