time for 08!

Posted by rickhill on January 2, 2008

Happy New Year! It’s exciting all that lies ahead of us in 2008. The countdown is well and truly on until Spark 08. Planning is underway and dreaming continues! We hope you can get on board with what God is doing this year…whatever that means for you…

Anyway, just wanted to recommend a great youth event in Ballymena this Sunday night called “The Risk Factor”. It’s been going for a few years now and is a night dedicated to challenging young people about the need for mission in their lives. Stepping out of the boat and taking risks for God. Why not come along? It’s on this Sunday night (6th Jan) at Wellington Street Halls at 8pm. Great timing, saying as most of us are hitting school or work again the next day!

help needed!

Posted by rickhill on October 11, 2007

We wanted you all to be mega informed about a pretty cool event coming your way in the next 10 days!

Mission’s Flame is happening in Wellington Street Halls on Sunday night 21st October from 8.15 - 9.45pm and promises to be an amazing night of worship, multimedia, prayer and sharing together. It’s a night designed for young people and is acting as a Spark reunion, however, we don’t want to advertise it as this as it is a much wider event than that. Let us explain…

The Mission’s Flame event was birthed 2 years ago out of a desire to draw young people together who had been involved in various summer projects. The idea is that it would be a night to remind us all of the call to serve God in our every day lives and in our various churches, and not just in a summer. And this desire remains the same today!

And so its designed for all of you guys who were involved in Spark 07 in August…but its also open to all other young people in the area who have been in loadsa different things over the last wee while.

This is where we need your help!! Fliers for the event are beginning to wing their way around the place, but we need your help also in getting the word around. Please pass the word on to your friends, tell everyone about it in your schools and churches…and bring others along on the night. You should find a flier for the event below

We are excited to announce that on the night of Mission’s Flame there will be a gift given to everyone who is there. We are in the midst of producing a limited edition reminder of Spark 07 to continue inspiring you in your everyday lives. We’re saying nothing more but let’s just say it’s like Spark 07 captured in a small box!! You’ll find out the rest for yourself on the night! A wee sneak preview may appear on this blog over the next 7 days so keep checking back!
