Enlighten, a mission jointly organised by the parishes of Cloughfern, St Comgall and St John & St Ninian, drew crowds of all ages to a number of events running over several days.

The Bishop of Connor, the Rt Rev Alan Abernethy, and Diocesan Development Officer Trevor Douglas joined the mission which began on Wednesday October 7 and finished with a joint service in Cloughfern Parish Church on Sunday October 11.

Activities included afternoon tea in St Comgall’s Church, a round of pampering hosted by Abbot’s Cross Primary Schools, a talk on Old Churches of Belfast in St John’s Parish Hall and a family film night in Cloughfern Parish Hall.

Whitehouse Working Men’s Club hosted a Quiz Night on the Friday evening, and on the Saturday morning lads, dads and auld lads gathered for a breakfast in St John’s Parish Hall.

Saturday afternoon saw children from across the diocese gather for Kids Big Adventure in Cloughfern and the Bishop preached at the service which concluded a very successful week of mission, as our photographs, below, will show!
