Finding out more about INDIA - Rev John Faris (Minister of Trinity Cork and Aghada) and Linda Jackson (former PCI missionary in India) are currently on a short visit to India. On Monday, 17th November, they attended the official opening of a renovated library and computer suite at the Gujarat United School of Theology in Ahmedabad. Whilst in India, Linda will also visit Woodstock School, Mussoorie where she served from 1996 to 2009. Give thanks for the renovated library and computer suite at the Gujarat United School of Theology and pray that the many students who will use it in the years ahead will benefit greatly. Pray that John and Linda will each have a safe and trouble-free trip. BIBLE SOCIETIES – The Bible Society in N. Ireland (BSNI)and the National Bible Society in Ireland (NBSI) send the following prayer requests:IRAQ: The Bible Society in Iraq has been working for many years to provide Scripture to Iraq’s Christian community. IS have forced the Christian population to flee their homes and one of the staff team in Iraq has commented, “Never have I seen and experienced the levels of heartbreak that are happening now.” The team is providing aid, such as food, bedding and Scripture for the refugees. Ask for God’s intervention, and for His protection on Christians ministering to the many displaced people. May His Word spread, bringing comfort to people who are destitute! TOGO: At the end of November BSNI staff member, Leah McKibben, is travelling to Togo to attend the dedication of the newly translated Mina Bible. While there she will be seeing ministries to children and young people, prisoners and those attending literacy classes. Thank God that the Mina people are having the opportunity to celebrate God speaking to them in their heart language for the first time. Pray for Leah, for safe travels and for an experience that will help as the Bible Societies seek new ways to work together to bring God’s Word to more people. the Christian faith How to join First Garvagh Freewill Offering Envelopes Christianity / Discipleship Explored Courses Small Groups Children’s / youth programmes Other ……………….....…… I would be interested in getting involved with … Children’s / Youth work Helping with crèche Tots & Co Media Team Music & singing Outreach to the community Helping with tea/coffee after services Other ………………......…..

Pastoral Care - Hospital Visitation Very often notification that a parishioner has been admitted to hospital can take up to a week to be communicated by post to the Minister from the Hospital Chaplain. In some cases no information is received as sometimes church details are not gathered on admission to hospital in A&E from the patient which are then used to notify the Hospital Chaplain. The Hospital Chaplain only works 1 or 2 days a week and so sometimes patients can be missed if they have been in hospital for only a few days. If you or a family member are admitted to hospital and you would appreciate a visit please inform the Minister as soon as possible. Likewise it would be appreciated that the Minister would be informed of hospital discharge to save a wasted hospital call. Hospital visitation is an important aspect of pastoral care and we don’t want to miss anyone because of the inadequacies of the system of notification. Next Sunday 14. Sunday 30 November—Morning Service at 11.30 am. Evening Service at 7.00 pm. Further Ahead 15. Tuesday 2 December—The PW will meet at 8pm— Members’ Night 16.
