To help achieve the advancement of the Christian religion and provide public benefiL the Select Vesty of St Lura¢h's, Maghera & Killelagh, continued to share the tNth and love of Christ in our community. Our vision ststement. A family that loves Jesus and has his heart for the world" is at the centre of all catTied out by the Parish and charity. During the first half of 2022, we were much in the recovery stage from COVID. Importantly, childreT]'s work was focused on continuing to enrich the lives of primary-school aged children. Although adults have suffered from isolation and loneliness throughout the pandemic. children, with &8 yet undeveloped social and relational skills have perhaps been more greatly irnpacted than we have realised. As such. our spiritual care and nurture for Children has been a vital ministy and public benefit to our cornmunity. This was demonstrated and showcased in an "Easter Trail" in April. and a'children's Day" in May. Along with thi5 attention to children, in June, multi-generational gatherings were facilitated with a"Bring-and-Share" lunch and setting up a BBQ-stall for a community day at the Maghera Wall Garden. Our pace quickened as we moved towards the end of the summer. At the beginning of September, we held a"24-Hour Prayer" event. which invited members of the Parish and community to bring all their cares - spiritual, emotional, and practical - to God, for thernselves, the Parish, and the community. All were welcome and St LuraGh's Church remained open throughout the night to be a¢¢essible to everyone in Magherd and beyond. This preceded the launch of a community'creation Trail" in September in the Rectory Grounds which was very well attended and proved a great success. Additionally, a hardship fund for those in need within the Parish was also established. Utilising the Changing seasons. Harvest w&s celebrated with a special lunch in October. And as we moved into November, along with welcoming the Royal British Legion on Remembrance Sunday. we also held a"Remembering our Loved Ones" s¢rviGe on the same evening. The devastation which COVID has caused meant that theff have been many bereavements during these last three years which were not properly or nomially marked. Restrictions on funerals and the inability to gather together at such a time of loss and grief has created and exacerbated already deep wounds. So, this community Service was for all to share their grief together at a special service to receive comfort and strength from one another and from the LORD our God. Children's ministy continued and increased throughout the year. From the Parish's Sunday School group climbing from I I to 19 each week, to special events held for primary-age children such as a"Festival of Light" to coincide with All Hallow's Eve. Additionally, we hosted a children's Christmas party and enjoyed the ¢hildren telling"The Christmas Story" in St Lura¢h's in early December. Then in later December, there was a special "Chri5tingle" Sunday focused on children and young families as part of our spiritual outreach into the community with the love of God Along with a return of a Parish Christma5 dinner, a special series of events and services occurred during December including Carol Services in both churches. a very successful "Community Caro15 by Moonlight" held at the Rectory. and a"Five Lessons and Carols" servi¢e at "Mullagh Court" sheltered housing. In spite of the difficult last few years during the pandemic, we believe that the Parish of St Lurach's. Maghera & Killelagh has meaningfully delivered its aims and objectives. The charity listed as "St Lurach's Parish, Maghera" has given careful consideration to the 'Charity Commission for Nl. guidance on public benefit to ensure that the activities entered into during the year have helped to achieve the parish objectives and activities, as well as providing public benefit to the wider community. All in all. we are pleased that our recovery from the effects and impact of COVID are palpable and we intend to carry fonvard all the good work done and completed by the end of 2022. We look forward with anticipation and excitement to all that 2023 will hold. Page 3
