2005 Celebration - Shandon Park : 20th August
Around 50 folk associated with the movement travelled from as far as Fermanagh and Portstewart and gathered in the first floor restaurant that was booked just for us. It was a glorious summer evening and we found ourselves looking out over the beautifully kept rolling parkland - a haven in the midst of a busy city.
The new caterers, Santini, did us proud with a superb 4 course meal. Most of the evening was spent eating and enjoying one another's company in good conversation with a bit of craic thrown in!
It was lovely to welcome new faces from some of the churches that had weekend missions last session and hear a little of the continuing move of God's spirit in their home churches. We also welcomed some of those going on teams this autumn and prayed for each of the coming mission teams and churches. Of course there were some of the old hands there too and it was great to enjoy their company and know their solid prayer support for all that is happening. We spotted a few ministers with us even though they turned up in civvies!
Hopefully the pictures will give some flavour of this happy, informal occasion!
