Farewell to the McElhinney’s
It was with profound thanks tinged with sadness that we said farewell to Stephen, Cathy and their three kids today. They have been with us for nearly seven wonderful years and in that time they have touched countless lives and made a permanent mark on the life of St. Columba’s.
Stephen, Cathy, Ruby, Patrick and Scott have become an integral part of our lives and not just on a Sunday morning or through various meetings and organisations but also through their wonderful pastoral ministry and social visits. We have been incredibly blessed by their ministry and are all the richer for it.
We wish Stephen all God’s blessings as he embarks on his new calling as the UK and Ireland mission director for SAMS.
Praise God for Easter!
Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures. He was buried and he was raised again on the third day, according to the Scriptures. 1st Corinthians 15:3-5
Holy Week services and 24 hours of prayer
