But how do you process such a discovery? Because
they had not experienced the resurrection for themselves their response
was to run away from the tomb trembling and bewildered. This fear
and trembling was to turn to joy as Mary Magdalene encountered the
Risen Lord for herself and she reported to the disciples I
have seen the Lord! Jn 20: 18.

News ItemsSWANLINBAR GROUP NEWSFundraising in Tomregan Parish The Parish is currently considering extensive
work in the Rectory, Parish Hall and Parish Church. We have already
begun some work to the room to the rear of the stage in the hall with
the help of the community training and employment scheme FAS. We hope
to have this room finished in the near future and it will be ideal for
meetings of up to 30-40 people. +++ Scone Supper Following on from the great night we had at the Guest Tea in Tomregan Parish Hall, we will be having a Social and Scone Supper on Friday 5th May 2006. Music will be provided by Country Roads and admission is €5. +++ Tomregan Gift Day We will be re-introducing the idea of a Gift Day to the Parish on Sunday 7th May at our Service of Holy Communion. Tomregan Parishioners will find a letter giving more details about this, together with an envelope for your gift, in this Newsletter. +++ Diocesan trip to Brasor, Romania Dawn Cassidy, a parishioner of Tomregan Parish,
will be travelling to Brasor, Romania this summer along with other members
of our United Diocese. Dawn and the rest of the team will be working
with Poplars Church, an independent Church who have a strong commitment
to the development of the health and education system in this area.
The team will be spending two weeks (12th August to 26th August 2006)
working with disadvantaged individuals with special needs in all age
groups. This will not only be of benefit to those with special needs,
but to their carers as they enjoy a period of much needed respite. It
will not be a holiday as I would imagine that this will be both physically
and emotionally challenging work. Of course the team will be well prepared
and supported under the leadership of Mike Edwards, Diocesan Youth Officer
for Elphin and Ardagh. +++
+++ CE World Convention Two young parishioners from St Paul’s, Kinawley will be travelling to the 25th World Christian Endeavour Convention between the 10th and 17th of July this summer. Helen Graham and Mark Crawford will be part of a team of twelve young people under 25, representing Northern Ireland at the convention in Godollo, Hungary. The Northern Irish team will be engaging with delegates from Germany, France, Australia and USA as they explore what it means to be United in Christ. The delegates will share and listen and through all of this learn from one another. The team from NI will be sharing their experience of diversity under the heading Challenge or Chance. I have little doubt that there will be much to share upon their return! +++
+++ Group Confirmation Service This will take place in Swanlinbar Parish Church at 4pm on Sunday 30th April 2006. Our six candidates are Julie Clements, Julie Graham, Janine Stubbs, Hannah Wilson, Gary Crawford and Jack Wilson. There are services in both Templeport at 10am and Tomregan Parish at 1130am that day. As I have said consistently, the service of confirmation in itself is not what is significant but rather the faith which is expressed by the candidate. Please do support our young people through your presence on the day and pray that they might make a bold statement of a faith in a Saviour who means everything to them. +++ Easter Vestries It is almost that time of the
year again when we have our Annual Easter Meeting of the General Vestry.
This is an occasion when you can come along and have your say regarding
the election of Wardens and Vestry Members. This annual meeting is not
just for the current Select Vestry, but it is for those who have a genuine
interest in the Church and specifically its financial affairs. The Select
Vestry are constitutionally responsible for decision making in relation
to three key areas; Fabric (buildings), Finance and Furnishings (building
contents). This is an extremely important function within our Church
and should not simply be left to someone else. Please do come along
and support these public meetings and enjoy a bite of supper upon conclusion
of the business!
