“Dromore churches: Dare to care!” was the challenge from Gail Redmond as she shared the vision for the House of Hope opening in Dromore shortly. Via Wings (Working In the Name of God to Serve the community) has been a growing idea borne from teaching received at FocusFest and in the Cathedral over the last six months. A House of Hope has been identified and is being prepared by individuals from around the churches in Dromore to be a place for people who simply need a hand.

Gail spoke, Noelle Stewart led prayers, ahile Sam and Dave led the spoken and sung worship at the weekly 10 o’clock service. Gail completed the morning by addressing the 11.30 congrgation at the start of their service. Well done to all who took part and a big thanks to people from several other churches in the town who gathered for the launch.

The fellowship groups in the church family meet this week and will be using the following study as the basis of their work together. To find our more about groups contact the cathedral office on 9269 3968. 0910-seeking-gods-guidance.doc

CREATION tells the story of the year before the release of “On the origin of species” by Charles Darwin, 1858. In the attached article one person reflects on the film. What do you think?

Due to a technical hitch of my own making (I forgot my password) I have been unable to contribute to the website for some months. As you will see below this has been remedied (Thanks, Dave) and I am up and running again. Please visit us regularly. If you would like to contribute to the site, [either a blog, or adverts for your group, or other reason] send Dave an email for details of how to get a password (or remember your old one!). We will see what we can do… no promises!
