The diocese’s annual youth weekend – Connor Takes the Castle – runs from September 7-9 at Castlewellan Castle.

Salt Factory Sports will be running afternoon activities on the Saturday. James and Elise Turner will take sessions speaking about Faith and Doubt, Kate Peden will lead worship, and there will be much more to enjoy for our young people.

Diocesan Youth Officer Christina Baillie said: “The weekend provides a great opportunity for groups to bond at the start of the year, together with a packed programme all delivered for leaders with plenty of opportunities to spend sharing together.”
