Youth Discussions
This term we have been discussing various questions at CB:youth. One of these topics was What it means to be a Man or Woman of Christ. We have added the girl’s thoughts on what it means to them to be a woman of Christ. Perhaps you could use the pictures below to start a conversation with them. As older Christians in the fellowship, we should be displaying what it means to be a follower of Christ to our young people.
Peru Team Summer 2019
Week 1: Carrickfergus to Tacna, Perú Mark 16:15 “He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” Where do I begin…I could write a short novel on everything we packed into just over 2 weeks in Perú, but I’ll try and summarise it for you all with the highlights. Myself and May set off early on the Friday morning from Belfast to London, change of airport and then onto Lima where we stopped over…

They plan to visit a girl’s shelter, help a local church…
Mums of Little Ones
‘Mums of Little Ones’ takes place on the last Thursday of each month. It is an opportunity for mums to come together to join in a time of fellowship and share in the highs and lows of parenting over a cup of tea and some treats. We finish the evening with someone sharing a bible verse that has been of significance or something they have read, followed by a time of prayer. In this time we pray for our children,…
CB:kids Summer
We have always found that the Holiday Bible Club offers a chance to reach out to children who wouldn’t normally attend our Children’s ministries and tell them of the great love of Jesus. It also helps strengthen friendships within our church family and provides an opportunity to connect with new people. Last July saw the first HBC in our new building. Epic Explorers was a great week with many people contributing to its success. We were thankful for the children…
