As a Parish we are delighted to welcome Rev. Sam Peilow as our Rector and his wife Georgina and daughters Zoe and Lucy.
It was a privilege to have him serve as Curate for the past 3 years. We look forward to what God has planned for this group of Parishes and Community under the leadership of Rev Sam.
The Institution Service on Friday night was a Blessed time of Worship and Praise to God for this new chapter in our Parish. We were delighted to have Bishop Feran and many clergy and lay readers, dignitaries and friends to help us celebrate.
Leila was our organist who also accompanied the choir as they sang the anthem " Go forth for God".
Many Parishioners took part in the service.
Rev Mark Smith gave an encouraging and challenging address to the congregation as to how we should work together to further God's Kingdom in this place using the gifts God has given to each one of us for His Glory.
Presentations were made from each church in the Parish Group.
To end the evening a scrumptious supper was provided and served by the ladies and gentlemen of the Parish.
Leila made a beautiful cake for the occasion.

May The Lord bless us and keep us ;
The Lord make his face shine upon us,
and be gracious to us;
And fill us afresh with His Holy Spirit.
Amen. 🙏

This Sunday we have a united service in Derrylane church, at 11am.
This is our only service in the group this Sunday, and it is for everyone.

This will also serve as an informal closing service for Boys' Brigade and Girls' Friendly Society.
We'll be singing the BB and GFS hymns ("Will Your Anchor Hold", and "Jesus Calls Us, O'er The Tumult"), and some of the girls and boys will be taking part in the service.

Refreshments will be served afterwards in the hall, so please do plan to stick around afterwards to enjoy some time together.
