Sunday 11th saw the last of our Bailieborough based events,
with Christianity Explained. We had a good crowd
and were treated to a very interesting talk from Rev.
David Searle - who explained the meaning of some difficult
Bible words in a very clear way. We interrogated, I mean
interviewed David and found out some very interesting
things about him! For example, he loves to dance, wants
to parachute and drinks a litre of white grape juice a
day! Thanks to the PYM Praise band for practising so hard
and performing so well. God has really gifted PYM with
very talented young people. Thanks also to the Bailieborough
people for hosting the PYM this weekend. See you's next
year folks ! |

Due to a broken ankle (DOH!), I was unable to attend
Christianity Explained on Sunday night (14th
October). Muchos gracious (?) to Richard for stepping
in (bad pun) at the last minute.
This
is the first in our series stepping through the Christianity
Explained course. Thanks to Nigel McCullough who travelled
from Bangor to be with us that night to speak on the
subject - Jesus, Son Of God.
Thanks
to the PYM praise band and especially to Elsie and Wendy
for licking us into shape for the night. We're always
looking for talented folks to play or sing with the
praise band. If you'd like to serve the Lord in this
way, just let us know!
