I thought it was a really good descripon of the purpose of a sundial, and if you ever get the chance to visit in the gardens, go and check it out! Just as the sundial has stood the test of me, so too has our congregaon and building. Our renovaons are well under way and we are looking forward to returning to worship in the church sanctuary come September. But we will not be idle as we wait. Our Holiday Bible Club will be meeng from Monday 15th – Friday 19th August when all hands on deck will be required. Our Sunday service on 21st August will be followed by a congregaonal BBQ and a chance to see the cra and art work of ‘our monsters’. We will be beginning to get together our Mission Team for our Fields of Life trip to Uganda in summer of 2017 and Sunday School, Focus, Spark and our uniformed organisaons will be planning acvies and events for the start of another season. Just as the sundial in the garden bears the marks of age and inclement weather, so we too as a congregaon, need constantly to be striving towards the church God wants us to be. Next year sees us celebrate two big anniversaries – 175th of the congregaon and 125th of the church building and we are thankful to and for all those who have gone before to ensure are sll a witnessing presence in Ballynafeigh and now it is our me and turn to ensure that Newtownbreda / St Johns connues to stand the test of me and remains a landmark in the area – both physically and spiritually. Have a wonderfully relaxing and refreshing summer, with many sunny hours and very few dark days. And may the peace of God which is beyond all understanding guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

In this me Bob has provided outstanding service to Newtownbreda. He had undertaken these responsibilies not long aer the opening of the Foyer and the new Halls suite. So he has been the person most directly involved in the implementaon of that part of our congregaonal mission strategy which relates to increasing our outreach to the local community. There is no beer testament to the success of that outreach work and Bob’s personal contribuon than the need now to split away from the Congregaonal Secretary responsibilies those elements that relate to the usage of our Halls! I do not think I am far wrong when nong that each and everyone of us has reason to be grateful to Bob for either leng us into the Halls or church, or for accommodang at very short noce a request for a meeng room. In addion to all of this work Bob has been pivotal in so much of the building and repair work on our premises in this period. I could construct a long list signifying his involvement in many projects but will note only two of the largest -the refurbishment of the manse and that of the church porches. So on behalf of our Ministers, the Kirk Session, the Commiee and the enre congregaon I want to thank Bob for this sterling work as Congregaonal Secretary. Newtownbreda has been very blessed to have had him in this role -shouldering such a very heavy workload. We as a congregaon are also very grateful to those who have taken on the responsibility for this important work from Bob. Bruce Robinson CHRONICLE Joan McQuoid the present editor of the Chronicle has also decided to resign aer 30 edions and almost eight years of eding. She wishes to thank all those who have helped and inspired her over the years, whether by contribung arcles and photos, proof reading , formang, helping with the prinng and collaon or coming up with interesng ideas. Without all of them, too many to menon individually, the quarterly magazine would not have arrived at people’s doorsteps in the hands of the elders in the shape that it did. 5 HANDS ACROSS THE SEA On Saturday 2nd April Newtownbreda hosted a wonderful concert in aid of the new Northern Ireland Hospice, courtesy of Alastair McQuoid, a previous member of the church choir, and conductor of the Queens Island Victoria male voice choir for the past twelve years. Under his musicianship they have performed three mes in the Albert Hall, in Balmoral Castle and in many churches in Ireland and Scotland. The choir has also formed bonds with other choirs in England and Wales, the April concert welcoming the St Edmundsbury male voice choir to join them in a programme of secular and sacred choral songs, with solos from the soprano Sarah Jane Gibson, and Tom Whyte on the church organ. The aendance level was high, the concert and the supper enjoyed by all and the Hospice richer by £2,000 due to the generosity of the audience (see picture on front cover with Sir Bruce and Rev Anne ). LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO READ? Colourpoint books held a launch of Captured by a Vision: A Memoir by Rev Dr Ken Newell on Saturday, 23 April at 11:00am at the Welcome Centre, Fitzroy Presbyterian Church, Belfast. Ken was born in North Belfast in 1942, just aer the Blitz, graduang in Classics and Philosophy at Queen's University before studying Theology at Union College. Aer further training at Cambridge and in Holland, he was ordained in 1968, going on to teach in Timor, Indonesia. He returned to Belfast in 1976, at the height of the 'Troubles', to work in Fitzroy Presbyterian Church. His work of religious bridge-building and a special friendship with Fr Gerry Reynolds triggered many ground-breaking iniaves within the turbulent life of Belfast through the creave and persistent influence of the Clonard-Fitzroy Fellowship. He became involved in secret discussions with Republican and Loyalist paramilitary groups, contribung to the IRA and Loyalist ceasefires of 1994, for which work he and Fr Reynolds were awarded the Pax Chris Internaonal Peace Prize for a 'grassroots reconciliaon iniave'. In 2004 he became Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland and received an OBE for 'his contribuon towards peace'. The book is on sale in Waterstones, Easons and from Amazon at £12.99, whose descripon of the contents is paraphrased above. I’m sure our own Rev Ken will sign a copy for his fellow members of St John’s. 6 KNITTING FOR MALAWI Since the last Chronicle five more containers loaded with baby clothes and blankets have been despatched to the David Gordon Memorial Hospital, Livingstonia Malawi, where they are gratefully received. Once again many thanks to all those who knit and crochet for the project, to those who contributed wool and also to those who have generously financed the sending of the containers. Parcular thanks are due to Sister Rita who has marshalled a vast group of fellow nuns and friends throughout the whole of Ireland and now Scotland to knit for the project.

  • Young Citizen Volunteers 10Th September 1912 the Young Citizen Volunteers
    Young Citizen Volunteers 10th September 1912 The Young Citizen Volunteers Introduction Lance-Corporal Walter Ferguson , aged 24, of 14th Royal Irish Rifles died (according to the website of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission) on 8 July 1916, although the marble tablet erected in All Saints Parish Church, University Street, Belfast, by his sorrowing father states he was ‘killed in action on 1 July 1916’. It seems very probable that he died a slow and possibly painful death from wounds sustained on 1 July and in captivity because he is buried in Caudry Old Communal Cemetery which was then in German-held territory. Walter’s family did not learn of his death immediately. They sought news of him in the Belfast Evening Telegraph of 18 July 1916: No news has been received regarding L’ce Corporal Walter Ferguson (14596) YCVs since before the Big Push and his relatives, who reside at 2 Collingwood Road, Belfast, are very anxious about him and would be grateful for any information. In civil life he was a bookbinder … News from the Front often trickled home agonizingly slowly. For example, the Northern Whig of 27 July 1916 reveals another Belfast family anxious to learn the fate of their son, also a lance-corporal in 14th Royal Irish Rifles and a member of the YCV: Revd John Pollock (St Enoch’s Church), 7 Glandore Park, Antrim Road, will be glad to receive any information regarding his son Lance-corporal Paul G Pollock, scout, Royal Irish Rifles (YCV), B Company, who had engaged in the advance of the Ulster Division on 1st July last, and has been ‘missing’ since that date.

  • William Mcfadzean VC Memorial Stone Consultation Summary
    William McFadzean V.C. Memorial Stone Consultation Summary (Draft 2) William McFadzean V.C. Memorial Stone Consultation Update 31/8/2016 1. Purpose 1.1 The purpose of the report is to provide an update and summary note to the members of the East Belfast Working Group to assist and inform their decision making process. 2. Background 2.1 The East Belfast Working Group agreed in September 2015 to consider a request from the William McFadzean Victoria Cross Commeration Committee to support the installation of a memorial stone to commerate the contribution and bravery of Mr William McFadzean awarded the Victoria Cross during WWI. 2.2 As Mr Mc Fadzean had a local connection, living for part of his life on the Cregagh Road, it was suggested by the Group that it would be both fitting and timely if a memorial stone could be installed to coincide with repair work done on a small piece of ground or turning circle, adjacent to his former residence on the Cregagh Road. 2.3 The stone and installation was also considered timely as it would be part of a United Kingdom Initiative, overseen locally by the N.I WWW Centenary Committee Office to support the laying of stones, with a uniform design in a location that would have resonance with the V.C. recipient and be visible to the public. This is part of a national initiative to install permanent memorials to 400 recipients of the Victoria Cross, including eight from Northern Ireland. The stones proposed are relatively small measuring 600x600x50mm 2.4 Following representation to the working group the Council agreed to undertake a short consultation exercise to gauge the level of community interest and support for the initiative.

  • Collegians-Rugby-Football-Club
    COLLEGIANS RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB 1890— 1990 by PIERRE PAUL FRY Published by Collegians Rugby Football Club, Belfast, and printed by Nelson & Knox (N.I.) Ltd. BELFAST: 1989 it FOREWORD One does not proceed very far into the research on Collegians Rugby Football Club without realising the depth and the degree to which Collegians owes its survival and existence to the generosity and benevolence of Charles Seaver Neill. Collegians is synomonous with Charlie Neill. Appropriately, the present pavilion at Deramore Park is a tangible memorial to him. It was my privilege to have known him and to have played rugby at Collegians when he was very much the dominating personality. When you met him you saw either the obvious gentleman with old world charm and courtesy or a man with commanding presence, he was over six feet tall and straight in stature, forbidding, even autocratic, but whichever mood he was in you may be sure that underneath his exterior was a most sympathetic and understanding nature. In conversation when he was invariably extolling the virtues of Collegians, he spoke with a distinct, pulsating and passionate voice. Charlie Neill was the great Collegian. I wish to thank many people and sources from which I have had assistance in the compilation of this work. My first acknowledgement must be made to the Belfast Newsletter, the Belfast Telegraph, the Ireland's Saturday Night, the Northern Whig, the Linenhall Library and the Central Library for permission to use their files for reports and results of matches. My thanks are also due to the Methodist College, Belfast for access to its archives, mainly for the records of the early years.
