The Annual Lagan District Girls� Brigade Service attended by
about 370 officers and girls was held in First Lisburn
Presbyterian Church last Sunday afternoon (13th April). The Rev
Andrew Thompson (Chairman of Lagan District) assisted by the Rev
John Brackenridge (Minister of First Lisburn) and District
Commissioner Lynda Dunlop led the service. The special guests
were the Mayor, Councillor James Tinsley and his wife the
Mayoress, Mrs Margaret Tinsley.
Angie McKee (Child Evangelism Fellowship) gave a challenging
address to the girls. Temple woman Angie, who was a member of
Boardmills GB for 36 years and captain for 3, said that when we
are born we are dead in God�s eyes because we have a problem -
sin. She went on to say that Jesus took the punishment for sin
and spoke of the need to turn from sin and trust in the Lord
Jesus as your saviour. Donning a cap, scarf and draping the flag
of her favourite football team Liverpool, the keen supporter
said that following your favourite team would not get you to
heaven - but following Jesus will. Speaking of the importance of
friends she said that Jesus wants to be your best friend and
concluded by emphasising the need to submit your life to Jesus
and make Him number one in your life.
Sophie Williams, Kirsty Harbinson, Victoria Withington, Janice
Scott and Louise McCullagh from Magheragall GB also took part in
the service and the lively praise was led by a group of
musicians from First Lisburn.
