Around 100 young people and leaders from across Connor Diocese had an active weekend of fellowship at the annual ‘Take the Castle’ get together in Castlewellan.

Organised by Engage Connor Youth, the theme of the weekend, which ran from Friday September 4 until Sunday September 6, was ‘Jim Class’, with a host of activities based on the book of James – working out your faith.

Being doers rather than just hearers was the key message of the weekend, and Stuart Moles, youth worker with St Mary’s, Ballybeen, Diocese of Down and Dromore, was the guest speaker.

As well as worship, the young people and their leaders enjoyed games, fitness classes, fantastic food, bible study, music, and plenty of quite mad activities!
