With sadness we announce the passing of our former Rector Revd Stewart Heaney. Please keep his wife Maureen and their daughters in your thoughts and prayers at this very sad time.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.

STORM ÉOWYN

We have all been told to remain indoors tomorrow as we prepare for Storm Éowyn to batter Northern Ireland. This, no doubt, will make people feel anxious but please give your worries to God in prayer.

Heavenly Father,
You created heaven and earth, the sea and sky, and all creatures of the world.
You control the seasons, and all of the elements obey your commands.

Even in all of your glory and greatness, you remain faithful to those who call on your name.
Remain with us tomorrow as we face the uncertainty of what damage the storm will do to our country.
Speak your Holy Word to calm the winds and rain.
Protect those who find themselves in the path of the storm and bring them to safety.

We ask this in the name of Jesus, who walked on the water, calmed the waves and is ever-present in the storms we endure. Amen.

As we say 'farewell' to 2024, we give thanks to God for his goodness, guidance and wisdom as we have navigated through the changes within the Mid Belfast Rural Deanery.

2025 is a new start for the Upper Shankill and Ballysillan Union. We will have more opportunity to join together for worship and forge new friendships with other congregations. Our new Select Vestry will also begin to meet together, putting their faith in God that he will lead them to grow his church in this community.

May you all have a New Year that is filled with God's richest blessings.
