• AN IRISH BLESSING

  Sun 31 May 2020

  The Irish Blessing - over 300 churches from our island sing a blessing over Ireland and beyond. Beautiful! 🙏🕊🔥

  'The Irish Blessing (Beannacht uile-Éireann) is a project inspired by the many international recordings of "The Blessing” (by Cody Carnes, Kari Jobe and Elevation Worship) which have been made during this time of pandemic. We wanted to honour that inspiration, whilst at the same time, honouring the unique history and culture of our island. So we chose a song that would resonate across the island, with every denomination and cultural grouping, one that could be used as a platform to sing a Blessing over our land, all our key-workers and those they are caring for. “Be Thou My Vision” is just such a hymn written over 1000 years ago. It reminds us of the One to whom we should look in this time of pandemic, whose presence is our light, the source of our wisdom, in whom we find our treasure and where we find victory. Individuals from 300 Christian churches and organisations located in every county on the island submitted self-recordings of vocals and instruments which have been compiled by our creative team to produce this music video.'

• UNIFORM DAY, FRIDAY 29TH MAY

  Tue 26 May 2020

  We often have 'non-uniform' days in school so why not reverse the process and ‘wear our uniforms’ at home to raise money for our local NHS & Care Homes.
  
  So on the 29th May, we are asking that all school-age pupils in your house ‘wear their uniform!’
  
  Please donate a small amount using the just giving page... https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/school-uniform-day

   

  100% of all money raised will go towards providing resources and equipment for our local NHS & Care Homes across Northern Ireland.

   

  Many thanks for your support.
