On Tuesday 30th January, P5AR, along with Mr Cunningham's P5 class from St Brigid's, visited Ballykeel Presbyterian Church. Rev. Martin McNeely welcomed us and led a discussion on differences and similarities between religions. He explained what the key points of Presbyterianism were, what being a Christian means, and talked about his role as a minister. He also talked about the role Ballykeel church plays in the community, and told us a little bit about the church's history.
The children from St Brigid's were very interested in the discussion and asked lots of questions. Most of them had never been in a Protestant church before, and were therefore quite fascinated by what they could see and hear. It was a very good event, and afterwards the children from both schools mingled over juice and biscuits.
