I T ' S Y O U R M O V E 🥳

It's Your Move lessons are well underway in Ballymena schools as we think about how we are unique (like our play dough cats), God has made us with a purpose, fearfully and wonderfully, and we shouldn't change who we are to fit in when we get to our new schools.

Please continue to pray for these lessons and the incredible P7 pupils we get to meet.

We can't do what we do without our incredible DST in Ballymena - Steve (DST Chair), Jim, Sandra, Craig, Katie, Emma and Rachel. We are so thankful for them and how they invest in the Schools Project in Ballymena. Pray for wisdom in the decisions they make, the events they plan and the strategies they put in place.

Ahead of P7 pupils receiving their Post Primary School allocations tomorrow, we want to remind them that God is with them and knows everything about them, including the school they will go to in September. He has made them in an amazing and wonderful way and that will never change, no matter what school they go to.

Our It's Your Move Celebration is back!! If you are in P7 and going to any Post Primary School in Ballymena in September, we would love to have you along on Friday 19th June from 6:45 to 9:15 at First Ahoghill Presbyterian Church. Come and meet other P7s going to your school, senior pupils and staff who are already there, hear from some Year 8s and have lots of fun and food (inflatables and ice cream!)

Deborah Webster, from Thrive Academy is coming to our Parent Programme this year to lead a workshop on "Being Digitally Aware" along with a panel sharing their experiences to help support parents and guardians in this massive step.

Both are completely free, sign your P7 up at the following link:

I T ' S Y O U R M O V E 🎉

This week we are kicking off our It's Your Move lessons with P7 pupils across Ballymena, helping them prepare for the changes, choices and challenges of moving to Post Primary School.

Please pray for these schools, the P7 pupils we will meet and the 26 Church volunteers who will deliver these lessons alongside us.

A massive part of our role is working alongside the local Church in schools, including bringing Church volunteers along to RE lessons in schools and SU groups. We love working alongside local people in our schools and we want to help equip you to do this really well.

If you are already a Church volunteer in school with us or are keen to find out more about what this could look like, come along on Tuesday evening to Wellington Presbyterian Church cafe Aroma from 7:30 - 9pm for some training, a chance to share and pray together before a busy It's Your Move season starts.

It was so great to be with the incredible Junior SU group in Cullybackey College just before Easter. Our intern Glen shared on Jesus' words "It is Finished" and what they mean for us.

Could you or someone you know volunteer in this role?
