Senior Football Camp
Are there any boys in your congregation, or in your local community, who would be interested in coming to this year’s senior football camp? The camp will be held at Lomond School in Helensburgh from 8 to 15 July and is for boys from S2 and over. As you might imagine, the main activity will be football, although there will be opportunities to participate in some lesser sports as well! Throughout the week we try to present the gospel in a relevant and non-pressurised way to the boys through our interactions and through the daily programme of talks and discussions.
If you would like any more information, please get in touch with Rod Morrison ([email protected]) or contact Laura at the Free Church Offices ([email protected]).
