40th Anniversary in Primacy

On Sunday 5 November Christ Church Primacy, Church of Ireland, and Primacy Methodist congregations celebrated 40 years of witness in the Primacy community. The happy occasion involved representatives from both denominations and included reminiscences of a four decade journey side by side with the prospect of an even closer relationship in the future. Bishop David McClay and the Revd Phillip Agnew, North East District Superintendent, both gave a short address and following the service the congregation enjoyed a celebratory tea with anniversary cake and desserts.
