Congratulations to our four new deacons
This year’s Service of Ordination of Deacons took place in Shankill Parish Church, Lurgan, on Sunday 26 August. The ordination retreat leader and preacher was Bishop Grant LeMarquand who is also our Bible Week speaker.
650 people came along to support the candidates and take part in what was a truly inspirational service. We raised the rafters!
