You’d never buy a horse without seeing it!!

A glimpse of the new chapel, for more visit the ” Announcements” page

During Covid, like everyone else, we had to adapt and like many others took ourselves on-line and entered a whole new reality. Today, we have a ” blended” congregation as those in the building are joined by our friends on-line. We have people joining us from all over Ireland, the UK, the Netherlands, Brazil and the USA and those are just the ones we know about! Make no mistake, its great and we have embraced it with gusto! When I was a young lad, a neighbour of ours at home used to say; ” you’d never buy a horse without seeing it first!”.

Now that we ever emerging from Covid, there is nothing like the human contact we all missed so much. So, while we love having our on-line congregants, if you can, if you live near enough, why not pop in and see us in person some Sunday. We are a friendly, easy going bunch, we don’t take ourselves that seriously and when it comes to God, faith, religion and church; we are just about as diverse as you can possibly imagine and yet it works!

Ancestral Visitors

Top : Ciara and Eoghann with the minister; Rev. Mike O’Sullivan Bottom : with a bust of their great grandfather.

On Thursday 14th April we had two visitors to the church whose family is very much a part of our recent history. Ciara and Eoghann Menzies from Perthshire in Scotland are the great grandchildren of The Rev. William Weatherall who was minister of this church from 1913 until his retirement in 1954. As minister he served during both world wars, the battle for Independence, the burning of Patrick St and the emergence of the Free state. Rev William died in 1956 and was laid to rest in Moira, Co. Down. It was wonderful to meet and host them, providing yet another living link to the rich 305 year old history of our church.
