ARMAGH & SOUTH TYRONE ENCOURAGING TURNOUT AT ARMAGH & SOUTH TYRONE RALLY The annual Armagh & South Tyrone Union Presidential Rally was held on the 24th April in 1st Portadown Presbyterian Church Hall. A good number turned out for the evening which was a great encouragement. Miss Alison Colbert played from Clonaneese YPCE while Mrs. Muriel McIlveen from Hill Street Seniors played the closing hymn, “Ireland for Christ”. Rev Ivor Smith, the out-going President, led the meeting and Mr. Billy Calvert, from 1st Portadown Senior CE, opened in prayer. Mrs. Rosemary McDaniel gave the annual report and Clonaneese YP sang two beautiful pieces, “Be still and know that I am God” and “You are my strength when I am weak”. Mrs. Helen Coote, from Hill Street Juniors, read John: 10 v 1-10. Mr. Smith then gave his report of his year in Office after which he handed over the chain to the Rev Maurice Laverty for the incoming year. Mr. Laverty has taken as his theme for his year in Office, The Fuller Life and how we need to strive for that closer relationship with God and want to get to know more of Him. 1st Portadown Seniors provided a beautiful supper which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
