The Church of Ireland Parish of Camus-Juxta-Mourne, Christ Church Strabane, has embarked upon a new and exciting phase of ministry, not tried before in the history of the Congregation.
The Rector and Select Vestry are launching the Lighthouse Centre to aid the parish in its plans to achieve the diocesan vision of Transforming Community: Radiating Christ.
Rev Mark Lennox commented said the premises were essential in giving the congregation an opportunity to reach into the community and meeting people at their “point of need,” while giving freedom to experience different formats of worship..
The main purpose of the building is to create a safe and secure environment, which will allow people to meet together in an informal manner for fellowship and to socialise, whilst creating a space to grow in faith and allow for outreach into the local community of Strabane.
The opening of the Lighthouse Centre coincides with the Fresh Start Parish Mission with Bishop Ken Clarke, director of SAMS Ireland.
Fresh Start is a week of events of which on three occasions the Lighthouse will be used.
Everyone is invited to a coffee morning taking place at 11.00am tomorrow wile on Sunday next 26 January (from 10.00 am to 10.45am) there will be an informal worship session at Bishop Ken Clarke will give a talk on “What’s Next?”
