Programme
BIBLE BLAST will include worship, bible teaching, time to reflect and prayer. This year we will be exploring the importance of belonging to the church family, the importance of what we believe about God and ourselves, what then we become as a result of what Jesus has done for us and how we behave as we seek to live out our lives as Christians.
SMALL GROUPS is a time were we break into smaller groups to talk about what we have learned about life and God and to pray together.
GROUP ACTIVITIES will be activities and team challenges based around the Kilbroney centre and Rostrevor that young people will get to do together in groups.
EVENING ACTIVITIES will be for everyone and include a campfire, glow stick walk, movie and other activities.
