Church of the Ascension of the Lord, this coming Thursday 19th January at 7.30pm.

This year’s theme is: “Reconciliation – The Love of Christ Compels”

(2 Corinthians 5: 14-20). Rev Rob Clements, Rector of Kilternan Church of Ireland, will

address the theme. All are all invited to attend and we would encourage you to invite your neighbours from the

other Christian Churches to come along also to this ecumenical evening in Balally Parish.

Cup of tea afterwards in the Parish Pastoral Centre.
