At the car wash!

One of the prototype small groups decided as their service project to offer the general public the chance of getting a car wash for the bargain price of a pound! Never to do things the traditional way, Thriving Life Church was offering to wash people's cars and give them a pound for the privilege!

The weather may have been a wash out, but the spirits of the Thrivers were raised higher each time they managed to surprise someone with an act of inexplicable kindness. One happy car washer said, "You'd think we'd just given them a million pounds!"

Innovate with Erwin


Some Thrivers enjoyed a one day conference with Erwin McManus last Friday at Ballynahinch Baptist Church. The conference focussed around the need for us as a church to be relevant to our culture. Can you guess which of the leaders pariculary enjoyed the day?

Yes, it was David as he got to meet his minsitry hero! The face says it all really doesn't it?

Baptism Sunday 19th April 2009

With a thumbs up from Jonny Clarke we were ready to celebrate what God has been doing in the lives of some Thrivers as they were baptised!




First up we had Donna, then Lorna, followed by Gareth, Lauren, Jordan and Gareth. The building was full to capacity of people coming along to witness and celebrate with them what God has done. Enjoy some of the images from the night.

Brother and sister baptised together. Dad gives some encouraging words.
