In 2022, Drive in Gospel meetings continued in the car park on Sunday afternoons. Good interest was shown by the number who attended each week. From October public worship returned inside the hall each Sunday evening at 6pm to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Attendance was very encouraging and those who came enjoyed the fellowship and singing. On Wednesday evenings, meetings were held for ministry and prayer for the benefit of members and visitors. Missionary reports also informed the assembly of ongoing gospel work in different countries and how our prayer and support helped these Christian workers. Special weeks of ministry were held in March and October, providing blessing and teaching for those present.
Sunday school continued during term time at 10.15am, with a consistent number of local children coming each week. They enjoyed singing choruses, learning memory verses and hearing bible stories. A fun trip to Airtastic was enjoyed by all the Sunday School children in June. Tots & Toddlers met on Wednesday mornings, enjoying playtime, craft, choruses, and a short biblical message. Numbers were very encouraging and those who came were appreciative of the effort made and there was much positive feedback from the adults and children. Kid’s Club was held one Saturday each month in Castledawson and we had a Kid’s Bible Week in Castledawson in June and many children attended for all five nights. Fun was had with quizzes, games, choruses, verses and bible stories. The assembly was encouraged by the positive reports and thanks received from parents and children.
In November, the assembly sent over 100 shoe boxes filled with essential items for children in Romania to be given out at Christmas. We had a report telling how well received these items were. In the month of December, hampers were put together from food items donated by members of the assembly. During these difficult times, the hampers were greatly appreciated by the local people who received them.
The Financial statement for Aughrim Gospel Hall shows that all funds received are voluntary offerings. These funds are used to maintain our building, fund activities and support Christian workers in the Lord’s service.
