Hill Street Presbyterian backing Mission Hope

Pete Wright said, “Mission Hope promises to be an exciting event for the youth of Lurgan. There will be special youth nights and events aimed at our young people which will touch on the issues facing this generation.

“The location has changed from Mourneview Park to Shankill Parish so we are keen to get as many youth to attend the mission during the week.”

Mission Hope is a Lurgan based programme involving 15 churches from the surrounding area. Additional information can be found at https://www.facebook.com/missionhope2012
