Just as God called David Livingstone many years ago, so He calls us today to follow Him. Matthew Steele playing the part of David Livingstone with Kyla Bleakley as David’s mother and Katie Steele as Narrator told how his response to God’s Call led him to Africa where he was responsible for much pioneering Missionary work.

Music played a major part in the Worship. The children’s choir sang the anthem, “God is Light and God is Glory” and James McCullough, soloist, “He made me”.

One of the highlights of the Morning was the Presentation of Awards by Mrs. Gwen Carson.

Sharing in the Service was the Minister of the Church, the Revd. Stephen Carson.

The organist was Mrs. Georgina Hamill and the pianist, Miss Vivienne Carson.
