St Mark's Church Variety Concert for young people's overseas work

ST MARK’S Parish Church, Armagh is holding a spring fundraising Variety Concert on Thursday, April 10, at 7.30pm in the Crozier Hall.

With a wide variety of acts confirmed, a wonderful evening is assured with items to suit all ages. From pipers and highland dancers to singing and dance, along with compere Mr Mark Hawthorne, it is a night not to be missed!

Instrumental in organising the event are seven young people from the Parish who are travelling overseas this year to serve on teams in India and Romania.

Alfie Abbott and Isaac Kingston with travel to India with ASHA. Whilst plans are still underway for this year’s team, it is highly likely that they will be engaged in such activities as teaching English, organising craft sessions with children from slums and anything that can help encourage and inspire young people from disadvantaged circumstances

Similarly, Adam Donnelly, Katie Megarity, Laura Rountree, Katie Dickson and Thomas Stewart, along with the Rector, Rev Malcolm Kingston, will travel to Comanesti in Romania as part of a Diocesan Team with Habitat for Humanity to help build and decorate homes for those living in overcrowded situations.

Said Rev Kingston: “Habitat for Humanity is wonderful global Christian organisation whose vision is for ‘A world where everyone has a decent place to live’.

“These trips will undoubtedly be life-changing experiences for our young people and we are delighted that they have offered to serve on these teams.

“To travel to India and Romania, participants each have to raise significant funds. Fundraising events have already included a Gaming Night and a very successful Big Breakfast! Proceeds from the concert will further aid their fundraising.”

Tickets are priced at £10 (adults) and £5 (under 12s) and can be obtained from any of those named or from St Mark’s Church Office, 44 Victoria Street Armagh BT61 9DT, telephone 028 3752 3197.
