C4C @BallymenaBaptist
www.coaching4christ.co.uk September 2013 brings a new chapter to our continuing partnership with coaching 4 Christ. Our third annual Football Fun Week back in June was a successful and hugely encouraging week where over 100 boys and girls from p3-7 received engaging, high quality coaching. Whilst football is clearly a strong draw the focal point and...

Instead it has been incredibly successful. Partly because I was right: people don’t share a Coke with their friend,...

Our Table Quiz and Meal has now become a much anticipated annual event! It started about 7 or 8 years ago when it was used as a fund raising event for the young people’s summer teams and has gone from strength to strength. We have held them in the Sixth Form Centre at Ballymena Academy,...
Childlike Humility
There is an area of the gym I don’t venture into all that often; the heavy weights area for the wannabe bodybuilders! Large muscle sculptured physiques covered in tattoos, lifing twice their body weight…and that’s just the females!!
