A new season in Moneyreagh
Mervyn Jamison retired from his full–time job at the end of January and is excited and looking forward to what God has ahead for Moneyreagh Community Church (MCC).
“At time of writing, we in MCC are feeling really blessed. Sunday services have around 50 regular attenders of all ages, however for some reason on our Bacon Buttie Sundays this increases to nearly 70!
But it’s not all about numbers and I believe that God is at work transforming lives in our fledgling church. Recently a family joined us who I would describe as ‘de–churched’ and a number of our worshippers fall into that category. One man who now comes with his wife and never misses a service hadn’t been to church in over 30 years.
Our Friday night youth club is thriving, but the children’s club on a Sunday afternoon didn’t really catch on. After more prayer and research we have decided to launch an exciting Kids Club on Wednesday evenings. There is a real hunger for more time to explore the scriptures and our mid–week Bible/prayer meeting is growing with around 25% of the congregation coming along regularly. I’m grateful to John Beattie for his significant input.
Our Honesty Box Friday Cafe began on 27 March, which in turn will lead to a Rural Pharmacy program. The local councillor has also pledged to have a drop–in clinic for social needs at this time. So we are excited. This new community and fellowship of believers would really appreciate your continued prayers and support.”
