It was encouraging to hear that people have enjoyed reading the magazine. With enthusi- asm and a desire to keep in touch we produced one every month from March – August 2020 and then reduced the frequency to bimonthly. For 2021 we hope to produce a quar- terly magazine. We hope that it provides you with some encouragement and helps keep you in contact with your church family. We are especially grateful to those people who have contributed who are not from our church family. In particular, I would point you to- wards an article for our young people on pages 10 & 11 by Dr Deborah Webster, founder of Thrive Academy. Please do share this with any young people who might find it helpful. 2020 was a year were pass times and hobbies became all the more important as a way of helping us through and on pages 20 –22 Holly Crawford & Sonja Fairfowl tell us about some activities they are passionate about and you might even be enticed to get involved. We always enjoy a bit of reminiscing in the magazine and on page 23 you will find a poem written by Ida McMaw about the Islandmagee Young Farmers Club in 1955/56. Along with this, you will of course find points for prayer and information about the life of our church family and how you can get involved. We would love it if 2021 was the year you chose to become more involved in church family life. We may be restricted but God is not and what an encouragement that is. Happy Reading. Message from Peter 3 As we approach Easter I wonder how hopeful you are about the future. I want to take this opportunity to remind us all of our ‘sure and steadfast’ hope found in Je- sus. However before we look forward with hope I want to take a short time to re- flect on the year just past. Our unique personalities have had to respond to un- precedented changes such as shielding, working from home, being furloughed, juggling parenting and work commitments, not seeing loved ones, or swinging from feeling in control to feeling life is on the edge. How might you describe the past year of your life? In this magazine we hear from some of our young people and their experience of the past year. In the midst of our individual experiences, we look to the God who created us and promises that he will be our mighty rock and refuge, no matter what life throws at us. We believe the God of the Bible is a God of purpose and plan, a God of transformation and fatherly love. What might God want us to learn from our experiences, and how might He want to lead us forward? Walking in Trust and Faithfulness If we ever needed an example of what it is to ‘take a day at a time’ then surely 2020 is it. Repeatedly we have been surprised at the turn of events that have impacted our individu- al lives, our church family and our community. How do I respond when I feel overwhelmed, frustrated or restricted? When I don’t know how things are going to work out or when my plans lie in tatters in the bin? Hearing the words of the Psalmist in Psalm 62 have been important for me. Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. (Psalm 62:8) I haven’t always achieved this and at times descended into self-pity or worry about the future, but I have known God’s grace in bringing me through thus far. (1 Samuel 7:12) I pray that the daily habit of acknowledging trust in God through Psalm 62, is a strength for the days ahead and that it might be for you also. Message from Peter 4 I wonder did you find refreshment as you were forced to slow down and be remind- ed of the things of real value to you? Within church life we were limited in what we could do and I believe the encouragement was to be faithful in the opportunities we did have, faithful in the small things, faithful in the new things, faithful in the unnoticed things. We were given an opportunity to display a quiet faithfulness as we trusted God. It has been encouraging when our usual ministries have not been possible to see this faithfulness in action. Members of our church family stepping out in faith and using their gifts, newfound time and opportunity, to bring blessing and encouragement to others. The treasure of community Last March the doors of our church buildings were closed and we lost the opportunity to physically meet together as a church family. As God brings us into His family through Je- sus we discover the treasure that is God’s people. Maybe it was a treasure that we didn’t realise we had until we lost some aspects of it. In the New Testament we read of the importance of the relationships between brothers and sisters in Christ. Reflecting on the past year I have personally benefitted from the best of Christian community through relationships in our church family and I hope you have too. I know that many of you have been ministering to one another on the good days and the bad days through prayer, friendship and practical support and that has been so encouraging to see. One blogger writes, “community is never found, only built.” Over the past year I think we have come to realise the value of Christian community more and I hope we continue to be part of building a Christ centred community focused on uni- ty, love and humility (core themes of the ‘one another’ New Testament commands) here in Islandmagee. As individuals and a church family we find our hope for the future in the events we will be remembering and celebrating at Easter. Our ‘sure and steadfast’ hope is not found in low- ering R numbers or a vaccination rollout (although these are good things) but in the life giving death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus through whom we are saved. This Easter I pray that you might treasure your hope in Jesus more and in so doing bring that hope into the lives of others. School Days & Snow Days 5 International Meeting Point 6 Over the past year we have had a number of opportunities to support the valuable work being done by local groups. This has included the Whitehead Storehouse and more recently the International Meeting Point in Belfast. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your giving. This ar- ticle tells us about the work of the International Meeting Point. Since 2010, PCI’s International Meeting Point has been offering practical assistance to the hundreds of immigrants and asylum seek- ers, who arrive in the city each year. Although much of the work has been curtailed due to the pandemic restrictions, staff working at the IMP have continued to keep in contact with many immigrants and asylum seekers. Over recent months, they have been helping dozens of families and individuals each week who have reached out to them in desperate need for the necessities of life. Thanks to a continuing flow of donations, the staff and volunteers have been able to pro- vide the items in a COVID-19-safe way. In doing so, they can help one of the most vul- nerable groups in society at this time. Talking about the need that there is, Keith Preston, IMP project leader, said, “Over the last month or two, there has been an incredible increase in the number of people getting in contact with us in urgent need of food and basic toiletries. Most of these calls for help have come from people who have arrived in Belfast recently from various countries in the Middle East. Items required include rice, pasta, cooking oil, tinned fruit, tea, coffee, sugar, washing up liquid and toi- letries. “Thousands of items are already being distributed each week, and we have been overwhelmed with the increased response of local churches and individuals, who we can’t thank enough. We are more than amply supplied with cloth- ing for both men and women now, but we are still in need of toiletries and basic food items.” Based on the Lisburn Road in south Belfast, the Internation- al Meeting Point has been offering a wide variety of help International Meeting Point 7 and services to those who come through its doors over the past 10 years. This has in- cluded serving food and drinks in the cafe, running English classes, taking people shopping, helping the unemployed find jobs and leading Bible studies.

  • Moyle Publishes Interconnector Capacity Statement
    Moyle Interconnector Limited Interconnector Capacity Calculation September 2011 Executive Summary Moyle Interconnector Limited (“MIL”) owns and operates the submarine cables between converter stations at Ballycronan More in Islandmagee, County Antrim and Auchencrosh in Ayrshire that link the electricity transmission systems of Northern Ireland and Scotland. The cable and key components of the link have an engineering capacity of 500MW in each direction. However, limits applied for system security reasons by the Transmission System Operators (“TSOs”) at either end of the link mean that, at present, the full Moyle Interconnector engineering capacity cannot be made available to electricity traders for flows between the Betta and SEM markets. The current capacity available to interconnector users is shown in the following table.. Direction Month Capacity available to Capacity limit set by: interconnector users West to East May - August 287 MW NG/ GB System September - April 295 MW SONI/ NI System East to West April - October 410 MW SONI/ NI System November - March 450 MW NG/ GB System MIL, in conjunction with National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET), Scottish Power Transmission (SPT) 1, the System Operator for Northern Ireland (SONI) and NIE, the Northern Ireland transmission network owner , has prepared this statement to outline how available capacity on both the GB National Electricity Transmission System (“the GB system”) and the Northern Ireland Electricity Transmission System (“the NI system”) is assessed for the physical transfer of power between Northern Ireland and Scotland using the Moyle Interconnector 2. This is a requirement of Article 15(2) of Regulation EC 714/2009 on conditions for access to the network for cross-border exchanges in electricity which states that “a general scheme for the calculation of total transfer capacity and the transmission reliability margin based on the electrical and physical features of the network” shall be published (subject to the approval of the regulatory authorities).

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.

  • Quarries, Mines and Life Underground
    QUARRIES, MINES AND LIFE UNDERGROUND This short booklet explores the mining and quarry industries which have shaped the landscapes of the Causeway Coast, both above and below ground. The natural stone and minerals which form the iconic sweeping valleys and rising headlands from Derry~Londonderry around the rugged coast to Belfast have long provided locals with stone for houses and land to farm; but dotted throughout the area are larger, industrial workings extracting minerals and stone. These industries have left their mark on the people and the landscape of the area. Introduction The Causeway Coast includes over one hundred miles of rugged, exposed coastline from Derry~Londonderry to Belfast. This booklet looks at the history of the quarrying and mining industries along the Causeway Coast, specifically between Castlerock in the West and Cushendun in the East. People have always used the land whether it is to grow food, provide fuel such as turf or stone for building, the land has always been seen as a resource essential for life. Stone Wall in the Glens of Antrim Tievebulligh, Cushendall Evidence of people using local stone dates back many thousands of years. A study on Tievebulligh, near Cushendall, shows Neolithic people were using porcellanite, a rock harder than flint, to make axes three thousand years ago. It is believed to have been an axe factory, with over ten thousand axes found throughout the area so far. Further investigation shows that Neolithic people on Rathlin used this rock to make tools. The Ulster Museum in Belfast holds a large collection of crafted porcellanite.
