D RU M LOU G H Drumlough Juniors pose the question “Who am I?”
On the first Sunday evening in March we had our Junior CE service. The members of Junior CE took part leading the church service, praying, reading from the Bible, singing choruses and lifting the offering. At the service two of our members also explained the Missionary Project supported by CE each year. Throughout the year we collected 5ps towards the Missionary Project with the boys and girls collecting separately. We were excited at the end of March to see who collected the greater amount. This year I was delighted the boys collected the most. We all had a great day in March at our end of year outing when we went on a bus to Fun works in Glengormley. We had fun playing and then finished with a McDonalds’ meal which we all enjoyed.
We are sad that Kathryn Bell who has been a leader for 10 years is not back with us at Junior CE this September. At our last meeting in March 2018 two of our members gave her a leaving present and a wedding present.
In our meetings this year, in Drumlough Junior CE Society, we have been studying the different, “I am” sayings that Jesus used to describe himself – I am the bread of life; I am the light of the world; I am the resurrection; I am the good shepherd and I am the way, the truth and the life. So “Who am I” was the theme that we used for our CE service on Sunday evening 18th March 2018.
At the service the CE members took part in a sketch highlighting some of the ways people today might define themselves. We had 7 different characters – Gadget Gaby, who likes to spend all her time playing with her gadgets and is more interested in her online games and Facebook friends than real life; Fitness Fiona – who spends all her time trying to ensure she is as fit and healthy as can be; Career Crazy Carol – totally dedicated to her career; Socialite Suzy – who likes to appear in all the right places wearing all the latest fashion – anything to keep up with the Joneses; Farmers Flo and Mo who are only interested in their land and animals, and getting a day out at Balmoral Show; and finally TV Tom who doesn’t say much but likes to live in the make believe world of TV.
