Some of the 100 young people who took part in Street Reach
Lisburn - 2007.
 About
100 young people took part in 'Street Reach Lisburn' last week on
Thursday 12th to Saturday 14th April. Co-ordinated by Matt Craig
(Youth Director at First Lisburn Presbyterian Church) this
year's event was run by members of Lisburn Christian Youth
Leaders' Forum and supported by 15 local churches. The three
days of practical expression of the Christian faith through love
included street parties, children's clubs, games, painting,
gardening, rubbish clearing, etc.
Each morning they met at Lisburn Cathedral for prayer, worship
and inspirational teaching before dividing into four teams for
community work in Hillhall, Knockmore, Lambeg and Lisburn City
Centre. On Thursday and Friday they met at Railway Street
Presbyterian Church at about 4.30pm and after food, fellowship
and fun, they returned home for a well-deserved rest.
On Saturday night (14th April) a barbeque and concert was held
in Lisburn City Centre from 6.00pm to 8.00pm featuring 'Reed
Star' a Christian band from Emmanuel Church, Lurgan and
Portadown DJ, Jonto. People from the areas that the teams had
worked in were invited to this closing event and following the
concert the entire Street Reach team enjoyed a celebration party
in Lisburn Cathedral.
The 15 churches represented were: Lisburn Cathedral, St Paul's,
St Columba's and Moira Parish; Seymour Street Methodist; Lisburn
Elim; Lisburn Congregational; Lisburn Church of the Nazarene;
Emmanuel and Ballynahinch Baptist and First Lisburn, Railway
Street, Harmony Hill, Dundrod and Malone Presbyterian Churches.
Many of the local residents remarked positively regarding the
excellent work that was carried out by the young people and
leaders on behalf of the local churches and one radio listener
rang live on Radio Ulster to commend them for their hard work.
In Lisburn Elim Church on Sunday evening, Stephen Jones and
Laura Kelly assisted by Debby Boyce and Rachel Hughes presented
a humorous Street Reach report. Similar reports were and will be
made at other churches including a powerpoint presentation of a
video showing the great fun, fellowship and Christian outreach
of Street Reach Lisburn 2007.
