Thank you to all our willing boys, dutiful officers /helpers and wonderful parents!! Safe to say it was a bit silly, but most importantly - Jesus is always at the heart of everything we do. A great way to reflect, and celebrate another great year at 3rd Ballyclare BBNI!!

🔵 East Antrim Battalion Boys' Brigade - Junior Uni-hoc Competition 2026🔵

Well done to our 4 junior section boys who represented the company at the battalion hockey tournament tonight. 🏑

We entered a combined team with our good friends in 1st Ballynure Boys Brigade. After finishing as runners up in our group, we went into a 3rd place playoff match which WE WON!! 🎉

The boys were all brilliant and we are very proud of their teamwork and sportsmanship! Thank you to 1st Larne Boys' Brigade for hosting a great event and well done to the winners 1st Ballyclare Boys' Brigade (the only team to beat us)!

Another great day for 3rd Ballyclare BBNI

🔵 Busy weeks at BB 🔵

Over the last couple of weeks our Company & Junior sections have been learning life long skills - wiring plugs and some Ulster Scots history and language! We tried to ‘toss the caber’, welly wanging, hurling the haggis and made some soda bread pizza!

A great start to 2026, for our boys!

And what’s a space experience, without pizza?! 🍕

Good Luck to our P7 boys who sat the SEAG exam and are receiving their results this morning!

You are more than what is written down, your best will always be good enough!

We hope you trust God’s actions and can transition into this exciting new chapter, with him at the helm.

SURE AND STEADFAST ⚓️

We are very proud of you!

Praying over all our Juniors receiving SEAG results today! 🌱

Your results are just the beginning of a wonderful journey God has planned for your life. Every step, every opportunity, every new door. He uses it all for good.

One last push boys! You’ve got this 💪🏼

“If God is for us, who can be against us?”
Romans 8:31

📘 Tomorrow, P7 pupils across Northern Ireland will be sitting their second and final SEAG test.
We’re praying for all our Juniors in BBNI, that they’ll feel calm, confident, and remember that doing their best is enough. 💪

May they know that God is with them every step of the way, and that His plan for their lives is good. 🙏

✨ “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
