Encounter Morning in Moira

We had a fantastic morning at Encounter on Saturday 21 February 2026 with around 250 women gathering for worship and teaching in St John's Moira. Our guest speakers were Tash McBride (Home for Good and Safe Families) and Priscilla Reid from CFC Belfast. Once again, we were hosted with great generosity by the folks at St John's. A big thank you to the rector, Canon Joanne Megarrell, the catering team, the band and to George who managed all the AV. Thanks also to The Book Well for coming along.
