Bible Study each week is relevant to the age group and modern journals are provided. Coffee mornings to raise funds for Christian work eg Tearfund or the Leprosy Mission are popular as are visits to a local beautician. This age group enjoy an evening in Lisburn Mall for Christmas Shopping with maybe a Pizza Party before the Christmas break. Plenty of cookery and baking with crafts of all kinds.
