Verse of the Day

Rector's Diary

I was delighted to welcome the Revd Gary Galway to Magheracross to tell us about how the parish of Drumcree has delveloped following its Generous Giving campaign two years ago.

I was very pleased with the confirmation classes last week and they continue for another five weeks on Tuesday (year 9) and Thursday (year 10) at 6:30 pm. Also on Tuesday at 7:30 pm (I'll be late!) the football club are holding a planning meeting for this year's festival in June. If you think you might be able to help with that, do let someone know or go to the meeting.

Next Sunday is the annual Sports Service at 7.00 pm so all football fans, cyclists, runners, bowlers take note. Our special guests are the Silver Tones and Harry McConkey.
