Victory in Europe Day, 2020

Seventy five years ago, on 8th May 1945, the Prime Minister announced the end of war in Europe with Germany's surrender. Peace fell across the continent, but the violence continued elsewhere in the world until 2nd September, when Japan capitulated to the Allied Forces.

We are extremely thankful to those who served their country, and to those who paid the ultimate price to assure us of a peaceful future, and we continue to pray for those who lost loved ones to the conflict. Seventy five years later, the world is a different place, but still faces new perils that were unthinkable even a few months ago.

Our parish will formally recognise their service and commitment during our Holy Communion service on Sunday 10th May at 11am. Please consider joining us for the service, and worship with us as we come around God's table, listen to his words, and praise him together.

I hope you keep safe until then.

Summer Readers

Hi folks As we enter our summer period, please find our readings and hymns for July 2025. Each Sunday there will be a selection of parishioners reading our lessons - as shown on our list. If you're not available for the given Sunday, please feel free to ask someone to cover - and our church wardens and clergy are always available as a backup on the day. Alternatively, if you would like to read a lesson in Church, drop me a message, comment on Facebook, or speak to us at the services. We would love to add new readers of all ages, Gid's Word is for us all. Blessings Johnny

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!

AccessNI Check process

Hi folks Please see the following pages for the process of getting our AccessNI accreditation for our Sunday School and GFS leaders and helpers. You will need to print out the pages and keep a special note of the long number provided to you by email and let me know as soon as possible. We require an Enhanced check for everyone - and use the PIN number 918066 as detailed on the first page. The second page details the forms of identification you will need to provide - one from the first group, and two from the second group. The quicker we can all get the checks completed, the sooner we can get everything back to normal and put this whole process behind us for another three years! If you can photograph yourself (by smartphone or tablet) and email (revdjohnny@gmail.com) or WhatsApp (07488371680) them to me, that'd be great. I will also be available at the Parish Hall on Monday evening from 7pm to 8pm to help you with anything you would like assistance with! If you need any help at all...
