OUR HISTORY

—————

From beginnings in 1939 to the present day, the progress of Ballyholme Parish Church

 

 

—————

The first person to use the term ‘European’, our first ‘man of Letters’ and the first Irish man of whom a biography was written, but who was St Columbanus?

 

 

 

paula

I’m a mum of 2 teenage boys and I started my working life as a geography teacher in North Belfast. However, as I have always had a passion for church, children, craft and music, it seemed natural for me to accept the post as children’s worker at Ballyholme Parish in September 2017. Since starting this work, I have received so much joy as I watch our church family children embrace God’s unconditional love for them. I love seeing the children increase in confidence as they grow in the knowledge that God’s love and power is available to them right now! My vision is that they may know that they are a valuable part of the church community, right from the very youngest age to the oldest.

I can be found in the Parish Centre on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings, and of course, Sunday mornings. Thursday and Sunday mornings are particular highlights as I spend time with our children at Tune Tots (Thursday 10-11am) and Muddy Church (Sunday 10am), although Easter and Summer Jumpin’ are much anticipated events!
