What a wonderful Children's Day celebration we shared together at St Patrick’s this morning! 💛

A huge thank you to all our children for their beautiful singing and heartfelt prayers. You brought such joy to our worship and reminded us of the special gifts God has given each one of you. 🎶🙏

We would also like to express our sincere thanks to Anne and Julie for their dedication, care, and faithful teaching in Sunday School throughout the year. 🌟

A special thank you to Lorna for accompanying the children and congregation on the piano. Your music added so much to our worship and helped make the service a truly joyful celebration. 🎹🎵

And thank you to Scott for his message, reminding us what it means to be F.R.O.G. – Fully Reliant On God. 🐸

We are so blessed by everyone who contributes to the life of our church family. Thank you all for making Children's Day such a special occasion.

What a great night in St Mary’s with South Down Choral Society last night and what a joy to see our organist Elizabeth Freeburn guide them through a varied programme.
We loved having you again.

Last Sunday at St Patricks we proclaimed the unstoppable power and global appeal of the Gospel. We did this through the voices of some of our wonderful church members. We also celebrated the variety of ministries within our church family here in Newry.

Some of the languages that are spoken by those who gather to worship with us week by week, were front and centre as they declared the words of John 3: 16.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life
(NIV). A number of those who read have come to be followers of Jesus Christ from a variety of faiths or secular backgrounds.

From left to right.
