React 2005 at Lisburn Cathedral

At a service in Lisburn Cathedral on Sunday morning 23rd October 2005, the Rev. Canon Sam Wright recalled a busy week of Christian outreach at the church.  React 2005 was held from Saturday 15th to Sunday 23rd October and the varied programme included:  Prayer, Family worship, Healing Service, coffee mornings in various homes, city centre lunches, salsa night, ladies Bible Study, 5-a-side football tournament, card making, beauty morning, KidZone and a family visit to the cinema. At each event a short presentation of the Gospel message was given. Many were challenged by this and responded to what was said.

The week got off to a great start on Saturday 15th with a Family Fun Day held from 11am to 2pm and the React programme continued on Saturday evening with Club Fusion. A Praise Service last Sunday evening brought a very successful week of outreach, fun and Christian fellowship to a conclusion.

The programme, which had the full support of the congregation, was organised by a Steering Group made up church members and the Cathedral staff. They were assisted by Roger Murphy - Mission Leader, a gifted evangelist from Warwick; the Rev. Paul Hoey from Enniskillen who has spent the last two years working for the Church Pastoral Aid Society (CPAS) and Paul Woodman - a full-time leader in City Life Church, Southampton who presents the Christian message using street theatre.
