Mr. Donaghy from the Council says he is more than happy with the support he has received from the local churches.

“Although not all were present for the photocall, they sent their apologies and have promised suppport,” Mr Donaghy said.

The service will start at the Methodist church and move to Our Lady and St. Patrick and then on to the Church of Ireland before finishing at First Ballymoney where seasonal refreshments will be served.

Mr Donaghy feels it would be adviseable for everyone taking part to wrap up against the weather.
