The MWI annual end of year outing proved very promising as the ladies met at 10am on Saturday morning. As the coach arrived along with the sun also making an appearance, there was time to take just a few moments before heading off for everyone to pose for a group shot.

The day began in sunny Dungannon and the Linen Green, with morning coffee in The Yard. Then heading off to Killyman and St Andrew’s Parish Church to their fund raising exhibition ‘Four Seasons and a Wedding’. There we also got to enjoy, with kind permission, to chance to sit in a few of the motor exhibits. 

Next we were hijacked by the minister and whisked off to lunch, served up my the lovely ladies of the parish. We couldn’t have received a warmer welcome and would sincerely like to thank all those envolved for extending their hospitality and wish them all the best in their building venture.

After lunch, back on the coach and off to Cookstown for a bit of retail therapy and an attempt to pick up a bargain ‘souvenir’. 

Thank you Sandra Conroy for all your organising, we really had a fab day. Looking forward to Septembers programme and all you have in store for us. Enjoy your summer ladies!

Brilliant crack last night! Thank you Debra Reynolds for putting on the Best Barn Dance EVER! Also a special thank you to all her friends and family who contributed everything from the decor, hauling bales of hay and supplying a yummy supper!

We all certainly had a lot of laughs and a great deal of FUN, it definitely raised the roof AND hopefully some money towards our new chairs for the church!

…finally a big well done to everyone who attended and shed their inhibitions. Everyone pretty much danced their fair share all night to the wonderful sounds of the Accordion played by Ronald Magowan and the lovely Doreen his very talented (and patient)caller’??

Now is the question of how many people will actually be able to get to church this morning without the aid of pain relief … see you at 11am (courtesy of Mr Brufen). O Lord, Please help me out of bed iow! 🙂

Join us this evening to continue our reflections on Christ and His journey to the cross. 7pm service.

Thursday evening at 7pm, join us as we remember the last supper and the night Christ was betrayed.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Renee Peoples.

Renee’s battle against long term illness came to an end on the afternoon of Friday 5th of February 2016. Condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to Arlene, David and to all the family.

Friend of all, enemy of none can sometimes be given as a label to Methodists; it’s safe to say that many of our congregation believe that this was true of Renee, a monumental Methodist!

Renee was a lady who only ever made you feel joy, and that it was time worth spent when having been in her presence.

Her dedication, support and energy for the church and indeed all the organisations was admirable …if only that energy could have been bottled and live on.

As a founding member of our church at Mossley, Renee was also a great attendee of the Methodist Women in Ireland. I know that the ladies of our Mossley MWI have lost a great friend and will feel deeply saddened at her passing.
For many years Renee opened her home and held one of the weekly groups. It was particularly well attended, and while providing a support network, it gave Renee herself great joy and encouragement. I don’t doubt there was a great deal of laughter there too.

And so it is that we will remember her in fonder, happier times …her love for singing, her encouragement and selfless support towards others, her love and prayers for her family, her infectious laugher and most of all her love of Jesus.

Our loss, Heavens gain …we will meet again dear friend and great lady.

The funeral service will take place in our church in Mossley on Tuesday 9^th of February 2016 at 10:30am, followed by a service at Roselawn Cemetery.

We have been updating our LISTEN Area, where you will find two sermons given by Darrin Thompson back in November …slowly but surely we are getting there😊
