Many Christians from various churches in Ballymena will once again be getting involved in Christmas Spark and taking the Christmas message in a practical way to communities in the local area. Christmas Spark Ballymena will run on Friday 12th & Friday 19th from 7.30pm – 9.30pm & Saturday 20th December from 10am – 4.30pm. Their aim is to “reach out to the people of Ballymena with the message of JOY and HOPE that can be found in Jesus this Christmas.”
WHAT’S PLANNED? The Christmas Spark leadership have several events planned for the Ballymena area for the 3 days including carol singing, offering to gift wrap presents for people, giving out free gifts, conducting services in nursing homes, other practical projects and praying with people.
