We holding the service to highlight the work of Christian Aid and Christian Aid’s Week of action that gives all an opportunity to take part ! Why? To help people push back against poverty. Did you know, malnourishment and poverty affect more than 70% of people in Burundi?
Christian Aid are working to empower families in Burundi build reliable and diverse incomes. Take Aline, for example. She found a lifeline in Christian Aid after she felt the full force of extreme poverty, when an early marriage ended in abuse and violence. We helped her with small business training and she set up as a grocery wholesaler. Today, Aline can afford food, clothes, and essential healthcare for her family.
There’s more people Christian Aid could reach – and that’s why I’m fundraising.
The money raised can help ensure more people get the skills and knowledge they need to fulfil their hopes and ambitions. £10/€12 could provide one person with the training that supports their family to set up a small business, such as selling home-grown vegetables.
Together we can make a lasting difference. Thank you for your support!

Hi all , Reverends Colin McClure and Julian Hamilton led a lovely service yesterday on Slemish mountain. It was a beautiful sunny day and there were about 20 of us present for the worship,Sharing songs, prayers and readings as a Christian community in Unity. We gave thanks for the work of Christian aid and its partners and the opportunity we each have to push back against poverty in this world.

Hi all,
just been up for another look. There is room for about 32 cars in the car park and some space on the Lane. So there should not be a problem. The weather is meant to be good. But if it isnt ,the Slemish display block will hold about 30 people. Bring an umbrella just in case. Even if it does rain it won't last long. Best wishes
There is plenty of room for parking at the Carnstroan Lane carpark. There is also a public toilet handy. There is great views towards the Sperrin mountains and Lough Neagh. Lets hope the weather is good.
