SUMMARY:1-Year Diocesan Bible Course
DESCRIPTION:This course is for Christians at any stage on their journey with God who want to know more about the Bible and how it relates to their lives. No prior theological knowledge or qualifications are needed! It will be particularly useful if you have responsibility for teaching the Bible as Sunday School teachers\, youth group leaders\, small group leaders\, evangelists\, church planters or lay readers. This course will lay a foundation for further theological training if desired. \nWe will meet on Wednesday evenings in St Mary’s Ballybeen\, Craigleith Drive\, Ballybeen\, BT16 2RYfrom 7.30-9.30pm (including a coffee break). \nParking available.

Starting with the 4 Gospels and Acts\, as we look at the life of Jesus and the early years of the church\, and then moving on to the 22 letters that make up the rest of the New Testament. We will see how Jesus is the fulfilment of God’s plans for the world. \n  \nWho will be teaching the course? \nThe course will be taught by Dr Millie Bellew\, Dr Peter Crookes and Mr David Manning. \n  \nWhat do we expect from you? \n• There are no exams or assignments. \n• Those who attend are encouraged to read further\, but the most important thing \nis to come regularly with a Bible and a desire to learn more about God’s Word. \n• Certificates will be awarded to participants who attend all three modules for at least 70% of the course. \n• Ideally\, participants should attend all the modules\, but it is possible to sign up \nfor just one or two. \n• Each module costs £30 (payable at the beginning of each module).

SUMMARY:A Big Thanks!
DESCRIPTION:“Bright\, warm\, delightful\, so pleasant\, such a high standard” – those are just some of the words and phrases that have been used is response to seeing our refurbished community hall toilets and meeting room. We are delighted to take possession from our builders ME Crowe who have done a great job and in such an obliging manner. The total cost was over £45\,000 and we would not have embarked upon it without the generous support of a grant of £15\,000 from Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council. Thank you LCCC! And also the support of Joanne Bunting MLA and her team for helping us secure this funding and our own people who have faithfully given over many years to raise the £30\,0000. May God bless you all who have served our community in this way.
