Two-wheel adventure of the year

Another Fund Raising Adventure for our Building Fund!

Four intrepid cyclists that you may know – Kenny Dunlop, Iain Lendrum, Drew Robinson and Adrian Dunlop - and the Rector, Revd Johnny, have agreed to take on a lap of Lower Lough Erne, starting at Aghavea and visiting many churches on their travels. The 2-wheel adventure will see the four cyclists accompanied by the rector on his motorbike (Pushbike? 100 miles? The rector? Haha! Rector) on Thursday 29th October 2020.

We are raising money for the Aghavea Building Fund, and hope that you will consider sponsoring us on our 100 mile journey. Full details of the trip are available on our webpage, and will be shared on Facebook.

The five of us will be adventuring along the route, stopping at each of the Church of Ireland parish churches for a photo opportunity - perhaps you could join us at your church, meet us along the road to encourage us - or simply send us your prayers!

We hope that you will join us on our journey, starting at 9am, riding back in around 6pm.

Our route will take us from Aghavea – Colebrooke – Coonen – Fivemiletown – Clabby – Tempo – Kilskeery – Ballinamallard (with a break) – Trory – Killadeas – Castle Archdale – Irvinestown – Ardress – Turbit (with a break) – Muckross – Rosscor – Churchill – Monia – Rossory (with a break) – St Macartin’s Enniskillen – Lisbellaw – Lisnaskea –sx Maguirebridge – Aghavea.

If there is extreme weather, or if we are restricted by COVID regulations, the trip may need to be rearranged, but then - what isn’t under the same limitations nowadays!

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!
