St Saviour’s celebrates 40 years of ministry
On Sunday 3 June Bishop Harold joined the parishioners of St Saviour’s, Craigavon for a 40th anniversary service of thanksgiving and rededication, followed by a meal.
In those years the parish has existed on 2 major sites and had 3 major fires. “We were celebrating 40 years of ministry in Craigavon,” said Evangelist in Charge, Sr Myrtle Morrison. “Forty years as a church is very much about the people rather than a building.”
Pictured below, Mrs Olga Moore and Mr Richard Montgomery, who were two of the founding members of the church 40 years ago, cut the anniversary cake. Olga is still a very active member today. Mr Montgomery moved back to London Derry 25 years ago but still takes an active interest in the church and the area.

Earlier in the year the parish had a week of mission entitled, ‘Life begins at 40’, with special guests and events and activities for all ages and tastes.
