The risen Christ can tell frightened hearts not to fear, because he holds life and death in his hands.

“Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever!” (Revelation 1:17–18)

Thank you Mark, from your friends at First Ards.

As Mark officially retires from his role as Director of The Link, we want to say a huge thank you for steering the ship so brilliantly over the last five years.

The Link is an incredibly special community that makes a real difference in people’s lives every single day, and it simply wouldn’t be what it is today without the compassionate, thoughtful and visionary leadership and dedication that Mark has given.

We’ll miss him massively (though his lunchtime fish, maybe not so much!!)

Thank you Mark!

Worship begins by seeing God as he is: holy, glorious, and utterly worthy.
