Sun shines on Connor Takes the Castle Youth Weekend

6th-8th September 2019

The sun shone on more than 110 young people and youth leaders who all had a fantastic time at the annual Connor Takes The Castle Youth Weekend.

The diocesan discipleship weekend for young people aged 11 – 18 took place at Castlewellan Castle from September 6th – 8th, 2019.

Connor Youth Council put together a busy programme which included sessions led by The Big House; worship; small group time as well as outdoor activities. This included Soft Arrow Combat and Salt Factory Sports on the Saturday afternoon slot.
Activities also included a late night lake walk, discussion groups, the ever-popular Connor’s Got Talent, and lots of food and praise.
