I was asked to write a small article for the local paper in Fivemiletown.
Fivemiletown-You may have noticed some unfamiliar faces around the streets of Fivemiletown lately. Four area churches welcomed a Youth for Christ Summerserve team to work with area youth and teenagers. The team arrived at the Fivemiltown Methodist Church’s Wesley Hall on Saturday, July 25th and will work here until August 5th.
The team, led by members of Youth for Christ’s Y1 internship program, consists of eleven members from three nations. There are three from Northern Ireland, eight from the United States, and one from Serbia. This talented and creative team is aiming to show local teens how exciting having a relationship with Christ can be. Through their work here their aim is to help introduce students to Christ and connect them with local churches where they can grow in their Christian walk.
The Summerserve team is offering two exciting programs for area youths while in Fivemiletown. From 2:00 – 4:00 PM, Monday through Saturday, those aged 11-15 are invited to the Buttermaket in Fivemiletown where there will be daily games and skits. From 8:00 -10:00 PM on Monday through Saturday’s students 14-18 can come to the Wesley Hall for a free coffee bar. Many of the afternoon and evening sessions have special themes and include skits, themed games, and a chance to ask questions of the visitors.
All area students aged 11-19 are invited to participate in the activities that the Summerserve team has offered. Anyone having questions or needing directions is invited to contact Rev. Daphne Twinem of the Methodist Church in Fivemiletown. (028) 8952 1264. Summerserve is a ministry of Youth for Christ Northern Ireland. www.yfcni.org
