A big (and loud) crowd of supporters watched as Aghavea lost 3-0 against Magheracross (the eventual cup winners), 2-1 against Enniskillen Presbyterian and won 1-0 against Letterbreen Methodist. The squad was Trevor Beacom, Brian Woods, Keith Johnston, Paul Elliott, Alan Johnston, Nigel Keys, Ian Marshall and Andy Hamilton. We’re hoping to continue playing - sign up to get text updates from Alan.

Sermon Notes: Walking Worthy in Holiness (1 Thes 4:1-12)
God’s will is for us to say ‘no’ to lust and ‘yes’ to love

God’s will is for us to say ‘no’ to lust... (1-8)
- As Paul prayed for their holiness (3:13), he now teaches them holiness
- God’s will: your sanctification - becoming increasingly holy
- abstain from fornication (any sex outside of marriage)
- control your own body in holiness and honour, not lustful passion
- don’t wrong or exploit a brother or sister - God avenges
- God called, not to impurity, but in holiness - God’s command & authority
Q: From where do we receive our values - the world or God?
Q: What things in our life need to change as we become more like Jesus?

God’s will is for us to say ‘yes’ to love (9-12)
- Top of the class in loving one another
- Yet still room to improve - ‘more and more’
- What love looks like - v11-12
Q: How can we grow in love for one another?

Hiroshima Remembrance

Hi folks Today, 6th August 2025, is the 80th anniversary since the United States of America dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Shortly afterwards, they dropped a similar device on another Japanese city of Nagasaki. Between the two events, over 200,000 people died, and Japan surrendered - ending the Second World War. The ripples from these two horrific events are still felt today, and the lessons from them are more relevant in today's world than ever before! Each day we hear about the tensions around the world regarding nations developing nuclear weapons, threatening to release havoc upon the world. Although the weapons are often referred to as deterants, the danger is that the whole world could be effectively ended within minutes if someone decided to release their particular weapon upon an enemy state! I pray that today reminds the world leaders about the absolute devastation that these weapons bring. They do not distinguish between combatants or civilians. ...

August Hymns and Readings

 Hi folks Here's the next list for the readings, readers and hymns for our services throughout August. There are five Sundays this month, and in our normal pattern, our fifth Sunday will be a Cafe Church service in the Parish Hall. As ever - this is just a guide, if you need to swap your date - just let someone know. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to read each month, and if you'd like to join the list, please let the church wardens or the Rector know. If we need to do so, both David and the Rector are more than happy to fill in for any given reading!
