Children enjoying the Salvation Army Holiday club. US35-708SP

TWENTY-EIGHT young people enjoyed an action packed week at The Salvation Army Holiday club in Rushmore drive last week.

The Church hall was transformed to look like Narnia with the children entering through wardrobe doors; snow covered trees, and even a lamppost in the corner.

Craft sessions provided even more decorations as the week progressed with the young people making sweets, snowflakes and some rather scary lion masks.

The week concluded with a special service on Sunday morning at which some of the parents attended and the young people got a chance to show the new dramas and songs they had learnt.

"It's been a really busy week," explained Captain John McLean, minister at H2O Lisburn Salvation Army.

RELATE

"I think the kids have really enjoyed so many different activities and they have been able to relate the daily bible stories to every day life situations by using examples and scenes from Narnia.

"My wife Kat and I have had as much fun as the young people and its been lovely to get to know them and build friendships which we hope will continue to grow through our winter activity programme."

The Youth Club takes place every Friday evening at the Salvation Army Hall, primary school ages meet from 5.30pm to 7.00pm while secondary school ages meet from 7.30pm to 10.00pm. Family friendly informal worship takes place at the hall on Sundays at 11am.
