‘But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation
say continually, “Great is the Lord!”
As for me, I am poor and needy,
but the Lord takes thought for me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
do not delay, O my God!

Our Church Outing took place on Saturday [25th]. A coach load of us [and a few cars] headed up the coast to Carnfunnock Country Park just north of Larne. For once, the weather forecasters got it right and we had a beautiful sunny day with only a few grey clouds now and then [for those of us who don't like it too hot they were a welcome relief].
We arrived just before 11.30am and unpacked all our gear in the area of the park we had reserved. It wasn’t too long before the smell of the bbq wafted around the park.
Lunch was planned for 1.00pm and so some folk went off to look around and enjoy some of the activities in the Park. A number of the younger element had a go at the Bungee Run while some of the older folk set out their chairs and chatted with one another.
The bbq was ably controlled by Graeme and Sam and, as last year, they did us proud [still no incidents of food poisoning to date lol]. Kebabs were cooking and sausages sizzled as we tucked into the food that everyone had brought to share.
After lunch it was back to the park. Some went for a walk around the park, some went on the putting green while still others tried the crazy golf. I thought I had bitten off more than I could chew as I challenged two of the Youth Group to a game. Marty was leading by three shots at the half-way stage with me in second and James languishing in third spot. However, age and experience [and a hole in one] paid off and I came storming back to win. Eat your heart out Tom Watson!!
There is plenty to do for all ages at the park and it is an excellent site for a day out. After a cup of tea and a little bite to eat we packed up and left for home at about 5pm.
We are thankful to the Lord for a good day together and for His safe keeping throughout the day.
