Recent Notices - October 09

Baptism: On Sunday 27th September we welcomed Abigail Sarah Kenny,
daughter of Graham and Sandie and sister of Scott of Ballingarry into
the fellowship of the Church. We wish her every blessing in the
future.

Congratulations: to Rev’d Vicki Lynch on her Ordination to the
Diaconate in St. Columba’s Church, Ennis on Saturday 17th October. The
service was a very creative combination of old and new with
multimedia/live band music provided by ‘Theophany Cacophony’ a band
largely made up of Lynch family members. It was a particular pleasure
to see Rev’d Rachel Lewis (now in Wales) returning as preacher. A
great night and thanks are due to Canon Bob Hanna and his parishioners
for the warmth of hospitality extended to all of us who attended from
near and far.

Harvests: Thanks to all who worked so hard to beautify our churches,
provide refreshment at our various harvest services and took part in
the services this year. We entered the season almost in foreboding
following the dismal Summer but thankfully all was well in the end and
the sense of relief made for a very genuine sense of thanksgiving. So
often in life it is only when we nearly loose something that we
appreciate its value.
