OPEN DOORS PRAYER & SUPPORT GROUP. The next meeting will be at 7.45pm in Ballynure Church on Tuesday 17
February. All are welcome to join us as we learn together from Christians living under persecution around the world,
and support the work of Open Doors through prayer.
2014 ANNUAL REPORT – If you wish to receive an Annual Report, please add your name to the list in the porch.
WOMEN’S WORLD DAY OF PRAYER - A different arrangement is made this year for this special event. Instead of the
Friday evening service, a prayer breakfast for all ladies is being held in St John Church of Ireland, Ballyclare on
Saturday 7 March at 9am. All ladies welcome.
FOOD BANK – As arrangements continue for setting up a ‘satellite’ food bank in Ballyclare, all the local churches are
supporting the food bank base at Carnmoney.
We now have a permanent shopping trolley in the foyer of each church on the circuit for the collection of non-perishable
foods.
Non-perishable foods - milk (uht or powdered) sugar, fruit juice (long life), tinned tomatoes, sponge pudding, rice
pudding, biscuits, snacks, tea bags, instant coffee, instant potato, tinned vegetables, tinned meat/fish, pasta sauces, soup,
cereals, jam, rice, tinned fruit.
By buying an extra item in the weekly shop and bringing it to church we can support those in need in our local
community. Thank you for your help.

ADOPT A SPOT 2015 - Is there an area in your community that could do with a clean up? Are you fed up with graffiti,
litter and dog mess on your doorstep? With 96% of Northern Ireland’s streets having been found to have litter, why not
join forces with Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful and Adopt a Spot! The scheme will formally enable volunteer groups
to adopt an area and look after it. You can choose any area you like. If you think there is an area that could do with a bit
of TLC, why not adopt it.
Adopters can be anyone, from families, community or youth groups, schools, sporting associations. With the help of
KNIB you will hold 4 clean ups a year at a time of your choice. KNIB will provide an adoption pack containing all the
equipment needed such as litter pickers, bin bags, gloves, high viz vests and a hints and tips booklet on how to run a
successful clean up.
If you are interested in instilling a pride of place in your community, fill in application form and return it to
[email protected].
Please return by Thursday 19 February so that KNIB can vet your application. Application form and other info
available from Church Office or Leanne Burns phone 90736920
