Digital Church

We are living in unprecedented times, when many people are concerned and anxious as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Psalm 46:1 says  “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”

Let us Commit to Connect with God through repentance and faith, may we experience God’s faithfulness and His Holy Spirit helping us in these days.

Many people will be disappointed and saddened that we are unable to meet in the church building for worship. However each Sunday we are planning to have a short service, which will be available to watch here or through our Facebook page.

 Catherine introduces herself…

I grew up just outside Portglenone, Co. Antrim. Our family church is Portglenone Parish, and it was here that my journey towards ordained ministry began.

I attended Ballymena Academy, after which I completed a BA (Hons) QTS In Primary Education, (Lancaster University). After graduating, my first teaching job was Primary 2 in Old Warren Primary School, Lisburn, followed by Carnaghts in Ballymena, until I was appointed to McKinney Primary School, Dundrod, where I was the Vice Principal.

Following my ordination in August 2014, I served my Deacon year as an intern in Christ Church, Castledawson in the Diocese of Derry and Raphoe. In September 2015 I went to Seapatrick Parish, Banbridge as Curate Assistant, and so began my time in the Diocese of Down and Dromore.

It was a very happy 3 years and (nearly) 9 months in Banbridge, and a time of great blessing as I experienced our Heavenly Father’s leading, guiding and preparation for the future. It was a superb experience, where I learned much and was given many opportunities to develop and grow. It therefore almost seems obvious to say I am so grateful for the leadership and mentoring I received and all I learned from the Rector, Ven. Roderic, and the team of people that are part of the mission and ministry of Seapatrick Parish.

Over the last months it has been overwhelming at times and yet so reassuring to acknowledge the Lord’s guidance, and I am thankful for the prayers of so many, and for the love and encouragement of family and friends.

I look to what God has in store for us in Holy Trinity, Glencraig, as we share the love that has been lavished on us by God, not only in the sending of his Son to offer us redemption, but in the opportunity to be partners in his Gospel witness and the building of his Kingdom in the power of his Holy Spirit.
