On Monday 15th August 2005, a seemingly endless queue of 100 children of primary school age enrolled for �Streetwise� the Holiday Bible Club at Immanuel Baptish Church, Ballymacash.  The stage area of the church depicted a typical �street� where Jesus ministered. 

Each day at the Holiday Bible Club, one of the leaders appeared in the makeshift biblical street and narrated a story from Luke�s Gospel to the large crowd of children. 

Stories included: �The healing of the lame man,� �The cheat�s house - Zacchaeus,� and �The Passover�.

In addition to the �Streetwise� Bible stories, the children enjoyed a super fun-packed programme that included singing, craft, quizzes, games and a puppet show.Pictured at the Holiday Bible Club - �Streetwise� in Emmanuel Baptist Church, Ballymacash are Pastor Robert Murdock and his wife Elaine with their children Caleb and Grace, and (back row) Katherine, Adam and Jane.
