SWORDS CHURCH PLANT

In the Spring of 2006 Graham McClellan began a series of 'healing meetings' in Swords, Co. Dublin. This led into weekly Sunday evening meetings and a mid-week home group. When Graham left, the group of Christians asked Elim to take it over. So in the Spring of 2008 Pastors John McEvoy and Richard Mawhinney received the work into 'ElimMinistries' with Richard Mawhinney and the Navan Church taking up responsiblity for the Swords Fellowship.

At the beginning of this year Sunday morning Services began in the Carnegie Court Hotel in Swords with the fellowship being called Fingal Community Church. Sunday attendance has been averaging out at around 12 adults a week. The ministry is largely supplied from the Navan Church with Richard Mawhinney as the covering Pastor. Local leadership is given by John and Sue McAllister, a very committed and able couple with vast experience in church leadership.

Please pray for this fledgling church:

For a firm foundation and wisdom,

For growth and maturity,

For the outreaches this Autumn and Winter - 'healing meetings' in the Fingal area of Co. Dublin and a special Christmas concert by NikiRogers and Pastor Gary Gibbs (England).
