It is always an absolute joy and privilege to gather around the table in communion as we did yesterday. Thankful for the church family in Kirkpatrick and for being able to worship together.

INEQE’s Independent Governance and Safeguarding Review Survey

INEQE Safeguarding Group have been commissioned to conduct an Independent Governance and Safeguarding Review of The Presbyterian Church in Ireland (PCI). As part of the review process it is hoped to engage with those who visit, and attend services through PCI, via an online survey. The survey is both anonymous and confidential. The survey results are received directly by INEQE’s Review Team and not by The Presbyterian Church in Ireland.

Listening to and learning from individuals involved in the life and work of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland is a critically important part of the Review. Information will only be shared if what you tell indicates a serious risk of harm.

You can access the survey here:

Closing date is 21st September 2026

Today is results day for a lot of people. Please know as you receive your grades that, no matter whether you are happy or disappointed, these results do not define you or your future. No exam results make one iota of difference to how God sees you. You are immeasurably loved and valuable in his eyes and you can trust him for the next steps.

As we do most Wednesdays, we will open the church building tomorrow from 10am-12 noon for people to come and sit in quiet reflection and prayer. If you are feeling anxious or fearful, you are especially welcome to come and find a place of calm and if you would like someone to listen to and pray with you, we will have someone there to do that.

The events in North Belfast last night were unspeakably awful. Everyone should be in prayer for the victim of the attack and for those who witnessed such a horrific incident.

While we will all be shocked and revolted by such violence, it is not appropriate or helpful for any in our society to call people on to the streets and encourage a violent response. Such a response only damages our communities and makes innocent people feel vulnerable and afraid. We need to remember, protect and pray for all those who have come from elsewhere to make N. Ireland their home and who contribute to the cultural vibrancy and growth of our society. And we need to reach out to anyone known to us who feels anxious or scared at the moment.

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭21‬ ‭

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Now nearly at full time in my sabbatical. Returning to work on Monday thankful for the opportunity to rest, reflect, read and write. There has been something of a theme of refreshing. Words that were prayed over me before I left asked for a time of refreshing. The constant presence of different rivers, creeks, ponds, canals, waterfalls and, of course the ocean were a reminder of the living water that Jesus offers. Even a sermon focussed on ‘times of refreshing’ from Acts 3. I finish where I began on the north coast of home after time in Tennessee, Alabama and Oxford. Looking forward to renewing fellowship with my church family in Kirkpatrick and beginning a new season of ministry and mission together. Graeme
