Decorating the Church Wednesday 2nd December 7.30pm

We will be putting up all our Christmas Decorations on Wednesday 2nd December from 7.30pm. It’s going to be a fun evening with tea, coffee and mince pies, lots of Christmas music to hum along too and plenty of decorations to be put up to make the church look magnificent!

It’s definitely a case of the more the merrier, so why don’t you come as a small group and see who knows the most verses to ‘Frosty the Snowman’.

Please let Roisin Ni Ceallaigh know you’re coming!

CORE Kids Christmas Play ‘Good News, Great Joy’ Sunday December 6th 11am

You are warmly invited to join us to celebrate this joyful Christmas Season at our annual CORE Kids Christmas Play.

This year we are also encouraging you to ‘bring a family’! We have invitations available at the welcome desk for you to personally invite a family to join us. There will be lots laughter; carols to sing and a real party feel to the whole morning. It is perfect for families who would find it hard to join us for our evening Christmas celebration.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Katie Drake

Next week I’m moving to Lincolnshire, England, to start work with the Royal Air Force College Cranwell. I will be teaching guerrilla warfare and counter-insurgency/terrorism, alongside ethics, air power strategy, and military leadership to Officer Cadets. My PhD continues, with the full support of my boss, so I will be back in Ireland for more research (and to visit, of course). CORE has been my home church for the 4 years I’ve been in Ireland, and has become a family to me. I have made so many amazing friends who have blessed me in abundance, and I will miss everyone!
But I will be back to visit, and look forward to keeping in touch.

Best wishes
Katie
