Then there will be lunch at the Hillside Hall, and in the evening the Methodist Church will welcome musicians from the Salvation Army for a special at 7.30pm.

Admission is free but there will be a retiring collection.

Tomorrow the Methodist Church will be open from 10am to noon.

This will be followed by a number of street events in the afternoon including music and face painting at Borough Fields.

Sports and games at Poets Field, will be held from 2pm to 4pm which will be open to everyone, and there will be a launch of 300 balloons.

A Youth Praise evening at the Methodist Church will start at 7.30pm.

The finale of the Mission programme will be at the Memorial Hall at 10am on Sunday.
