Monday 6th August - Bible Conference, Portrush
It was 6 years ago that Solid Ground first sang at the CPA Bible Conference in Portrush. It was also there that the contact was made for the trips to Bournemouth, England and so it was good to return to an almost full Presbyterian Church in Portrush to be part of the outreach of the CPA. Pastor Victor Maxwell was the guest speaker for the evening meetings. His subject for the week was the book of Hebrews. Next engagement - Sunday 2nd September 2012 at 7pm in Dungannon Independent Methodist church.
