It has taken time, but we are thankful for all who have helped and supported us prayerfully and practically in early stages of ministry here. We know it is the LORD himself who has led us to this place, as we have sought to follow his clear direction for our lives as a family. At this busy time it is good to stop and ask are we keeping in step with Jesus? On the first Sunday of September to coincide with Sunday School recommencing we had a special Back to School with God service. Many boys and girls led us in prayer and bible readings joining with adults who are involved in different aspects of work in our local schools.

  • Magheramason Presbyterian Church Newsletter March / April 2015
    Magheramason Presbyterian Church Newsletter March / April 2015 SUFFERING - WHY? As we approach Easter once again, I have been pondering the question, why do some people have to suffer so much? This has been highlighted to me during a number of recent pastoral visits to individuals linked with Magheramason who are trying to come to terms with the question of human suffering and like many of us may be asking the, why me? Suffering may come in differing ways to invade our lives. For some it may develop through physical sickness, ongoing acute pain, disability or infirmity that comes with age. For others it may be a hidden mental suffering in dealing with life. Depression and loneliness are very real in 2015, despite all the latest development in social media. Some may be struggling due to financial pressures and insecurity regarding the current work situation. Perhaps others are burdened about their family, where relationships may be strained through suffering. EASTER WORSHIP Sun 29th March: Palm Sunday – Family Service 11.30 am. Evening Service 6.30 pm.

  • Foyle Boat Trail
    Foyle Boat Trail LOUGHS AGENCY EARNING A WELCOME 1. Please be friendly and polite to local residents and other water users. 2. Drive with care and consideration and park sensibly. 3. Change clothing discreetly (preferably out of public view). 4. Gain permission before going on to private property. 5. Minimise your impact on the natural environment and use recognised access points. There are many unofficial access points which could be used with the owner’s consent. 6. Be sensitive to wildlife and other users regarding the level of noise you create. 7. Observe wildlife from a distance and be aware of sensitive locations such as bird nest sites, bird roosts, seals on land and wintering wildfowl and wader concentrations. 8. Follow the principles of ‘Leave No Trace’. For more information visit: www.leavenotraceireland.org 9. Keep the numbers in your party consistent with safety, the nature of the water conditions and the impact on your surroundings. 10. Biosecurity: sailors must help stop the spread of invasive species threatening our waterways and coasts! Wash and thoroughly dry boats, trailers and all other kit after a trip. Desiccation is effective against most invasive species, countering their serious environmental and economic impacts. WILDLIFE The lough is frequented by otter, seal and porpoise with occasional sightings of dolphin and basking shark around the mouth. Waders and wildfowl (often breeding in the arctic) winter along the Foyle, variously roosting on the surrounding land at high tide and feeding on mudflats as the tide recedes. Others, such as whooper swan, graze the grasslands. Those venturing out of the lough will experience the delights of sea bird colonies along the cliffs of Inishowen.
