Church Weekend Away Photos
Ovoca Manor
September 15th-17th, 2006
The annual Church Weekend Away at Ovoca Manor, in Avoca, Ireland :) was again a wonderful time for all. Alastair and Angela Bill, a ministering couple from Saintfield Road Presbyterian in Belfast were our speakers for the weekend. They shared with us about spiritual formation, and about being intentional about our Christian growth, i.e. ‘how we can contribute to our church’s life and witness, and not just sit and receive!’ Here are a few pictures of another fun weekend, of adventure, beautiful Irish scenery, community and fellowship.
ps if anyone has pictures they want me to put on here, just send me them and i’ll throw them on!
