WIND & RAIN DID NOT DAMPEN SPIRITS AT ENNISKILLEN UNION'S BBQ

Where has the last year disappeared to? I simply cannot believe that another CE year has ended!

Despite small numbers, Saturday 24th June 2017, saw the gathering for the annual BBQ at Castle Archdale.

The wind and rain certainly didn 't dampen our spirits!

The Juniors played lots games which were organised by our Junior Convenor, Sharon Wilson. A very popular resource used was the parachute! Some of the YPs and leaders decided to let our inner child come out and join in with the Juniors!

This year, our speaker was Rev Mark Durrell from Lisbellaw Methodist Church. He spoke to us about conquering our fears through the love of God.

Concluding his talk, Mr. Durrell took the opportunity to wish each and every single member in CE, our leaders and our families a safe and an enjoyable summer break.

Once again, the BBQ was cooked by Reuben Acheson.

On behalf of all Juniors and YPs in the Enniskillen Union, I want to thank all our leaders for their ministry over the past year. I also want to thank God for the many friendships we have within CE.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everybody a safe and an enjoyable summer, ready to go again in September, and we pray for a growth in numbers in the new year.

On Sunday 5th February, Ballyhenry Presbyterian Christian Endeavour held their annual service. Katelyn Morrison welcomed the congregation and the Rev. Niall Lockhart made the announcements.

Daniel Branagh opened in prayer, and the CE promises were read by Noah, Amie, Louise and Summer. The congregation sang ‘We will fill up this place with His praise ’ . The CE choir sang ‘It’ s a great day to praise the Lord’ and ‘I’ m in the Lord’ s army ’ . ‘The Lord’ s Prayer ’ drama was performed by Katelyn Mal-lard and Gerald.

Chain prayers were led by Kirsty, Charlie, Katelyn Mallard, Summer, Abigail and Toni. This year ’ s missionary projects, supported by CE, are The Bible Society read by Emma, and Charlene ’ s Project read by Lucy.

Then CE members collected the offering. Luke thanked the Lord in prayer and the congregation sang

‘I will offer up my life ’ . We then had fun with Emma, the CE members, and the puppets as they sang and put on a great performance. This was followed by a drama entitled ‘Are we different’ brought to us by Charlie and Beth.

Derek and the members of our Young People ’ s CE sang ‘Jesus is the Rock’ which ended with us all singing joyfully along. ‘The Bible ’ poem was read by Zoe, and the CE members sang their final songs, ‘Joy is a flag ’ ‘Deep, deep ’ and ‘Do you believe in Jesus ’ which they had prepared in recent weeks with Laura. Two more poems were
