Ministers and members of many of Lisburn's churches came together for a 'Pentecost Picnic and Prayer' in Wallace Park on Sunday afternoon 27th May.  This was just one of such events held across Northern Ireland and many more world-wide as part of the 'Global Day of Prayer' initiative.

After enjoying the fun and fellowship of a picnic there was music and a presentation geared for children.  Lisburn Mayor, Councillor Trevor Lunn welcomed the participants after which everyone joined together in prayers for our nation and world led by the Rev John Brackenridge - First Lisburn, Pastor George Hilary - Lisburn Christian Fellowship, Rev Canon Sam Wright - Lisburn Cathedral, Rev Brian Gibson - Railway Street, Father Dermot McCaughan - St Patrick's, Rev Paul Dundas - Christ Church, Rev Brian Anderson - Seymour Street Methodist and Mrs Marilyn McKee.  Each of the prayers of worship; thanksgiving; for the nations; against evil; needy people in our world and finishing with prayers of worship and praise were followed by a suitable interpretation or response. Alistair Vance and the Pentecost Band led the worship and Karen Webb and Captain John O'Neill (Church Army) organised the children's programme.
