The Mayor - Councillor Trevor Lunn and the Mayoress - Mrs Laureen Lunn were the special guests at morning worship in Legacurry Presbyterian Church on Sunday 20th May. The minister, the Rev Bobby Liddle welcomed the congregation and visitors and gave a special welcome to his guests.

After reading a portion of Scripture from Nahum 1 v 1-8 the Mayor thanked Mr Liddle for his invitation to Legacurry. He said that it was great to see the church so well filled and especially great to see so many children in attendance. He spoke of his recent visits to many churches in the Lisburn area saying that it had been an interesting experience. In bringing the greetings of Lisburn City Council he wished the minister and the congregation God's blessing and every success for the future.

Mr Liddle chose as the topic for his address 'the feet of those who bring good news'. Referring to the Scripture lesson read by the Mayor, he spoke of Nahum's good news for - our world, our society, Christ's Church and individual believers. He emphasised that 'Jesus is the Good News' or as Nahum puts it Nahum 1 verse 7, 'The Lord is Good, a refuge in times of trouble, He cares for those who trust in Him'.

Rodney Hinds on organ and Susan Brown on piano and the praise band and church choir led the worship of well known hymns and contemporary songs that included 'God give us peace that lasts' and 'We are a moment'. The assistant minister, the Rev Ken Nelson led the prayers of intercession.

Refreshments were served in the church hall after the service allowing members of the congregation to meet and chat with the Mayor and Mayoress.
