Our minister Edward McKenzie, was accompanied by two church elders Heather Gray and Denis Brady at a two day conference entitled ‘From Embers to a Flame’ and our picture shows them with the two main inspirational speakers Dr. Harry Reeder, and Rev. Lynn Downing at this event which was held in Wellington Presbyterian Church in Ballymena. This conference was all about encouraging growth in these very difficult times when many churches are falling in numbers, and learning about a strategy to build the work of the lord by adopting new and totally fresh thinking into the process. The conference which was attended by over 350 delegates was organised by the Westminster Felllowship Trust Ireland, an evangelical grouping within the Presbyterian Church in Ireland.
