The Mayor - Councillor Trevor Lunn and the Mayoress - Mrs Laureen Lunn were the guests at morning worship in Kilmakee Presbyterian Church on Sunday 4th February.  The minister, the Rev Tom Wilson welcomed the congregation and visitors and gave a special welcome to his guests.  He also welcomed the newest member of the congregation, little 6-day-old Dylan Belshaw.  Amy Logan and Ashlee Coday (who work with Youth for Christ) presented a humorous dramatisation of the Lord's Prayer.  After reading the Scripture lesson 'The Lord's Prayer' from Matthew 6 v 9-13, the Mayor spoke of his visits to churches in the area and of his Mayoral themes to make 'Lisburn a city for everyone' and the need to 'Embrace Diversity'.  In bringing the greetings of Lisburn City Council, the Mayor thanked Mr Wilson for his invitation and wished the minister and congregation every success and God's blessing.

Mr Wilson conducted an interesting interview with Kathryn Viner, a Union College student who is currently on an 8-week placement at Kilmakee.  In his address Mr Wilson continued on his theme of Faith.  Explaining that the things that made Jesus go 'WOW' was the many biblical examples of people's faith, he spoke of the spiritual gift of faith and the need to become a Christian and faith to grow as a Christian and stand on God's promises.

Aileen Irvine on organ, the praise band and the church choir led the praise.  The hymns included: 'Our God is a great big God', 'Blessed assurance Jesus is mine' and 'I know not why God's wondrous grace'.

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