Following
on from the tremendous success of last year's Street Reach,
another one will be held next week on Thursday 12th
to Saturday 14th April. Co-ordinated by Matt
Craig - Youth Director at First Lisburn, this year's event
is run by members of Lisburn Christian Youth Leaders' Forum
and supported by the local churches. The three days of
practical expressions of the Christian faith through love
will include street parties, children's clubs, games,
painting, gardening, rubbish clearing, etc and young people
in Year 11 and above are invited to participate in this
wonderful opportunity.
This year they are planning to work
in Knockmore/Tonagh, Hillhall/Low Road, Lambeg, and several
locations within Lisburn City Centre with the possibility of
working in one or two other areas as well. After meeting at
Lisburn Cathedral each morning at 10:00am they will head out
to a designated areas shortly after 11:00am and will work
until 1:00pm. After a packed lunch in that area, they will
continue working until 4:30pm when they will return to the
Centre City for an evening meal together. After the meal
and a bit of fellowship and chat they will return home for a
well-deserved rest.
The packed week of work, fellowship and fun will conclude
on Saturday evening when inviting people from the areas that
they are working in will join the team in Lisburn City
Centre for a bar-b-que and concert in Bow Street at 6.00pm.
Following the concert, those involved in Street Reach are
invited back to the Cathedral for a celebration party.
Young people are asked to make this opportunity known to
their friends and also to the wider congregation of their
church.
