LOGIC team prepares for trip to Uganda
LOGIC offers all young people between the ages of 12–18 years a safe and friendly environment in which to socialise, make friends, experience new challenges and opportunities. LOGIC is an initiative of St John’s Parish Church Moira and is staffed by committed Christian men and women who have a heart for young people.
In July 2017 CMSI is facilitating the visit of a team from LOGIC to Arua in Uganda to experience what life is like for their peers in this part of the world. The area is home to many refugees fleeing the fighting in South Sudan. The young people from LOGIC will have the opportunity to gain an understanding of the many challenges that these young people face daily.
Through a partnership between St John’s Moira and Ibba Diocese South Sudan, it is planned that some young people from Ibba will visit Arua to spend time with the LOGIC team. The Bishop of Ibba visited LOGIC in 2014 when he was presented with a football trophy which he has used to engage young people in his area in a football competition with a message of peace and reconciliation, vital at this time of such unrest in South Sudan. This will be an opportunity to swap stories and perhaps play a game or two of football!
The trip will be a challenging and exciting opportunity to experience life in another culture. The visit will take each person out of their comfort zone, discovering things about themselves which they may be surprised by, developing and equipping them with new life skills. It will be an amazing journey for each young person talking part, who knows what potential may be realised in each of these young people as a result.
To raise funds for this trip LOGIC are hosting a concert by the award winning Murley Silver Band in St John’s Parish Centre, Moira. Click here to find out more about this event.
