Trinity Evergreens

Trinity Evergreens is a club for retired and semi-retired folk who enjoy meeting together once a month for fun and fellowship.

We have a full programme for the year which has included guest speakers e.g. Robert Baird on 'Old Fashioned Remedies' and Aldor Travel on 'Christian Fellowship Holidays'; demonstrations e.g. Dean Roland Hutchinson on 'Flowering Baskets' and Deirdre Humphries on 'Fit for Life'; and games and quizzes e.g. Scattegories and Beetle Drive. A devotional thought, poem or reading is shared each meeting over a cup of tea and cake.

We have also enjoyed outings e.g. to the Ulster American Folk Park and the Palace Stables, Armagh.

We are fortunate to have the Lisburn Island Arts Centre close at hand and on occasions go along to a show or pantomime having enjoyed a pre-show meal together in the Lighters restaurant of the centre. Trinity Evergreens provides a setting where folk can enjoy all of the above in a friendly atmosphere, good company and warm Christian fellowship. If you would like to come along, then all are welcome, or contact Angela Sofley (number shown on left) for more details.

2007/2008

Another Church year begins and again a varied programme of Evergreen events has been put in place for 2007/2008.

We commenced our year�s activities in September with a visit from �The Singing Chef�.

Raymond Crooks is a chef in the Bank of Ireland who provides an entertaining evening of song, testimony and chat along with a �fool-proof� pavlova recipe.

In October, our own Rev. Clive Webster took us on a journey through Europe as he shared with us a powerpoint presentation of his Sabbatical this past summer. It was most interesting to hear of the congregations he visited and the contacts he made as well as enjoying the scenery of the many French regions he passed through.

Having enjoyed and been blessed by these two meetings, we look forward with anticipation to the remainder of the year. Our oncoming events include our Christmas Meal and Pantomime at the Island Centre; a presentation by Des McKee on �Colour Slides of Northern Ireland from the 60�s, 70�s and 80�s; quizzes and our annual Trip in May.

We give thanks to God for his continued faithfulness and for the times of blessing and fellowship shared in Evergreens.

Evergreens is open to retired and semi-retired folk. If you are interested in joining with us for any of our events you will be made very welcome.

Evergreens Outing 2006

Trinity Evergreens have been meeting together since 2002. Each May we join with Trinity Luncheon Club for our yearly outing. This year we went on a tour of 'Saint Patrick's Country'.

At 9.00am on Thursday 25th May we set out for Downpatrick. In the St. Patrick Centre there we had coffee and scones and viewed a 180degree film presentation of a short history of St. Patrick in Ireland.

From there we, along with our guide from the Centre toured the countryside around Downpatrick, visiting the oldest church in Ireland, established by St. Patrick, at Saul. We also visited the Struell Wells holy well, and after a lunch at the centre went in and around Down Cathedral, St. Patrick's gravestone and the Downpatrick Museum - the weather was sunny and the scenery was beautiful.

Our tour completed, we went by coach to Ardglass and enjoyed a lovely meal at The Curran Restaurant. Needless to say, a great day was had by all and the fun and fellowship was, as always, very enjoyable!
