Intern Appointed
The vestry report in the June Magazine noted that a grant of £26,000 had been
received from the Church of Ireland Orphans and Children’s Society to help us develop
and deliver programmes and courses for children from 0 – 14 years and their families.
We recently advertised for an Intern to help develop and deliver these programmes
and courses and be involved in other aspects of the Church’s ministry and mission.
We welcome Anna Williams who is starting with us in November. Anna is excited
about the opportunity to serve God in a local church context, to develop skills,
experience new things and grow in her own discipleship as she serves God. Anna is
from Hillsborough and has completed a Masters in Global Ethics and is taking some
time out after her studies to complete an internship as she seeks to hear where and
what God wants her to do next.
A Church Internship is about growing as a disciple of Jesus through; Biblical study,
practical ministry training, personal discipleship and working in a ministry team for a
fixed term. It is not a salaried post, but money from the grant will be used to offset
expenses.

From the Rector...
Greetings in the name of Christ
It’s an amazing story involving heart, head and history. A key from the Titanic, the ship that
sank on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City, was sold for £85,000 on 22nd
October 2106. There were 2,200 passengers and crew on the ship, and only one third of them
survived the tragedy.
The key belonged to a third-class steward, Sidney Sedunary. He died when the Titanic sank and
the key was subsequently found on his body. Although the key was rusty and unremarkable,
it was no ordinary key – it was a key for the life-jacket cupboard on one of the lower decks on
the ship.
According to the report of the inquiry following the tragedy, the steward had fulfilled his duty,
presumably in opening the cupboard and enabling people to escape with their lives. The
person who did the news report described the key, ‘as the key that, for some, unlocked a path
to salvation.’ The price of the key at the auction wasn’t linked to its value as people might value
diamonds or gold, the price had much more to do with history, head and heart.
As we approach Remembrance Sunday, there’s something else which might seem
unremarkable; and is so significant in terms of history, head and heart – the poppy.
This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, one of the costliest battles
in terms of the loss of life during the First World War; the Battle of the Somme began on 1st
July and continued for 141 days, ending 18th November. It was a battle in which thousands of
men from Ulster and other parts of Ireland were killed.
After the First World War the poppy was chosen as a symbol of Remembrance – a symbol to
remind people of the cost of war and the courage, commitment and sacrifice of those who
have served and died. The poppy – a symbol of history, head and heart.
Another symbol of heart, head and history is the cross. It’s an historical fact that Jesus died on
the cross and was raised to life again. People can know about this historical event, in their heads,
and not realize he significance it has for them and others. People also need to recognize/realize
the extent of God’s love for them, respond to that love and allow that love to touch their hearts
and transform their lives as they choose to follow Jesus and live for him.
History, Head and Heart!

‘Baby Basics’ and ‘Who Let the Dads Out?’
Over the last few months we have applied for start-up
grants from Cinnamon Network to help establish a Baby
Basics Centre and a new Project for Dads and their Kids
called ‘Who Let the Dads Out?’ Both grants have been
approved.
Baby Basics
In the next few months we plan to start a Baby Basics Centre. Baby Basics is a volunteerled project aiming to support new mothers who are struggling to meet the financial
and practical burden of looking after a new baby.
Referrals are made through midwives, health visitors and other professional groups and
Baby Basics provides support directly where it is most needed. Baby Basics volunteers
lovingly collect, sort and package a ‘Moses Basket’ of clothing, toiletries and essential
baby equipment as an attractive gift to new mothers.
The aim is to help new mothers practically and generously, demonstrating the love of
God through our care.
‘Who Let the Dads Out?’
‘Who Let the Dads Out?’ is coming soon. ‘Who Let the Dads
Out?’ provides an opportunity for dads, father figures and
their children to have fun together as they journey through
life.
Each session is founded on the Christian principle of wanting to demonstrate God’s
love to our community in the context of family support, ministry and mission.
Our first ‘Who Let the Dad’s Out?’ will be Wednesday 30th November from 6.30pm to
8.00pm and will be a Games Night. Call in for half an hour or for all of it. See you there!

Remembrance Day Services
Sunday 13th November
At Holy Trinity the Act of Remembrance will begin at 10.50am (between the 2

Act of Remembrance and those coming to the 11.15am Service are asked to arrive

which people who have attended the 9.45am Service will have the opportunity to
leave the church, and those not attending the Act of Remembrance will be able to
join us for the 11.15am Service.
Thank you to all the Harvest Helpers
Thank you to all those who contributed flowers, fruit and vegetables for our Harvest
Thanksgiving services. Thank you also to all those who gave so generously of their time
to help decorate both churches so beautifully. There were many positive comments
from those attending. In the week following Harvest services flowers were distributed
to Parishioners who are in Nursing Homes while fruit and vegetables were donated to
Newry Hospice who have expressed their grateful appreciation.

Sunday Space/School
We are well into our program for Sunday School and Sunday Space for this year and
we are having a great time. With stories, crafts and amazing games it has been great
fun so far.
All children whatever their age are welcome at Church with their parents/grandparents.
At Holy Trinity, children leave the 11.15am service at approximately 11.45am to go to
Sunday Space.
At St Patrick’s, children leave the 10.00am service at approximately 10.30am to go to
Sunday School in St Patrick’s Church Hall. In St Patrick’s the first Sunday of the month
is an ‘All-Age’ service and children remain in Church.
Youth Fellowship
spire is a place for young people to have fun, make friends and explore faith. It involves
games, talks, nights out and weekends away (and maybe even some free food). We are
already a few weeks into our program for this year and I know that it’s going to be a
good one! This year we’re going to be going through the book of John together as we
figure out who Jesus really is and see what that means for our lives.
29th October @ 7:30 Bowling trip
We’re planning to head off for a bowling trip just before Half term gets kicked off. If
you haven’t been to Inspire before and just fancy a trip get a form to Mark and come
along. There might even be a visit to McDonalds on the way home!
For more information, please phone Mark at 07803736543 or email at mark@bchurch.

Some things you could be praying for as we continue in Inspire

•
They would engage in the John program and get excited about God’s word.
•
That the young people would be challenged to live out their faith.
•
Pray that we can help our young people to find their place amongst God’s people.

2nd Banbridge Scout Troop and Crozier Explorer Unit
Are you between 10 1/2 & 14 or 14 & 18 or 18 & 25 then why not try the scouting
experience?
Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their
programme including traditional Scouting skills, such as camping, survival and cooking,
as well as a wider spectrum of adventurous activities, from abseiling to zorbing.
Participation rather than meeting set standards is our key approach, and there are a
number of badges and awards that Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.
With the support, direction and guidance of Unit leaders, Explorer Scouts are
encouraged to lead themselves, design their own programme and work towards the
top awards that Scouting offers. With exciting prospects like being a part of camps and
expeditions both home and abroad; adventurous activities such as mountaineering,
parascending and off shore sailing; Explorers offers fun and adventure for all. Explorers
also have the opportunity to be a part of The Young Leaders’ Scheme which develops
their leadership skills and sense of responsibility, by helping to run meetings for
younger sections.
Not to be left out the over 18’s can become the new batch of adult leaders that we as
a movement need to provide the programme for our young people. Being a member
of this section (Network) you can still work towards gaining your Queens Scout Award
and DoE Gold.
If you are interested in any of the above, contact any of the leaders within the group
for further information.

Diocesan Synod
The Diocese of Down and Dromore was in good heart when it met for the annual Synod in
Holywood Parish Church on 20th October 2016. In his presidential address the bishop noted
some of the changes in society, but more particularly, in ministry and leadership, which had
occurred since his consecration in 1997.
The Bishop highlighted elements of a flourishing diocese; from the statistics we heard in his
Presidential address and in the stories shared with us in the “Conversation on the Work of God.”
Looking to the future, Bishop Harold said that to be faithful and effective we needed to discern
and release the gifts of the ascended Lord expressed in Ephesians 4:11 – those of apostles,
prophets, evangelists and pastor–teachers – and went on to speak about each in turn.
He concluded: “I want to say ‘Thank you’ to all who have used their God–given gifts over those
nearly twenty years when I have been your overseer. We would not be where we are without
your ministry, lay or ordained.”
In Synod business, members approved revised Diocesan Regulations on elections and also
agreed that the overall assessment for the Diocesan General Fund in 2017 would be a 2.5%
reduction on the figure charged to each parish in 2016.
Bishop Dan Herzog, in his address at the Holy Communion Service, when he was speaking about
ministry and mission reminded Synod it’s “We get to do this!” rather than ‘We’ve got to do this!’
In other synod business: Synod members heard that the review and restructuring of the diocesan
administration was nearing completion. After lunch synod heard three presentations: Historian
and parishioner of Ballylesson, Dr Brian Walker, shared six intriguing little–known facts about
1916 while Julie Currie (Children’s Officer for the Diocese) took to the podium with a copy of the
recently completed and printed Year 1 Jigsaw Curriculum. The final presentation came from Matt
Peach, a member of the Board of Directors of the Kilbroney Centre in Rostrevor.
Bishop Ken Clarke in a Synod postscript wrote; “If a movement is to stay a movement it has to
keep moving!”
A great world–changing movement started 2000 years ago through the life death and
resurrection of a carpenter from Nazareth. The Movement is called the Church of Jesus Christ!
Our Synod was timely evidence that His Movement continues in this Diocese and around the
world. There is momentum and thank God this Christ–inspired missional movement is still
moving!
In the words of Psalm 118 verse 23: “This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.”
