THE IRISH WOMEN’S CONVENTION is a one day event of Teaching, Praise and Fellowship for ladies of all ages. It will be held in The Assembly Buildings, Belfast on Saturday 10th October from 10am to 3.30pm. A number of us from Ballykeel have attended in the past and thoroughly enjoyed the day. The speaker this year is Natalie Brand – Writer, Conference Speaker and Bible teacher. Her topic is – Free Indeed – finding our gospel Bliss at Calvary. The tickets for this event cost £25 for the day and generally sell out very quickly. They go on sale on Saturday 13th June, so If you would like to go, please let Elizabeth know by Friday 12th June at the latest. If you haven’t been before we can guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

We pass on our congratulations to the local support group, Good Morning Ballymena, which was recently honoured with the prestigious KING’S AWARD FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE, which is the highest award a local volunteer group can receive in the UK. The organisation, which provides daily friendly phone calls and support for older and vulnerable adults in the area, received the award in late 2025. Prior to this royal honour, they were also awarded the ‘Services to the Community’ prize by the Ballymena Chamber.
One of the local volunteers is Mrs Patsy McNeill who is a member of our Congregation. Well done to all involved.
