STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT
The Kirk Session
The charity trustees of the congregation are the members of its Kirk Session. Under the
congregation's governing document, The Code, the book of the constitution and government of
the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, the Kirk Session seeks to watch over and promote the spiritual
interest of the congregation and of persons not connected with any congregation who are within
its bounds. It ensures pastoral care is in place in the congregation and seeks to further the
contribution of the Church to Christian witness and service in the local community. The Kirk
Session has delegated to its Congregational Committee the temporal affairs of the congregation
including administering all funds and property belonging to the congregation. Members of the Kirk
Session are ex-off icio members of the Congregational Committee.
The Kirk Session consists of the ordained minister and the ruling elders of the congregations. All
members are entitled to propose, speak and exercise equal votes at meetings, except that the
Moderator, the minister in active duty in the congregation, has no deliberative but only a casting
vote.
Stated meetings of the Kirk session are held before each Communion Service131, before each
committee meeting and whenever a meeting is required.
To be chosen for the office of the eldership in the congregation a person must be a voting
member and a regular attendant on its ordinances. The selection of those proposed to be called
to the off ice can be either by the congregation or by the Kirk Session. Members are elected if they
obtain two-thirds of those who vote.
Presbytery
Under the Presbyterian Church in Ireland form of governance the corporate oversight of a
congregation is the responsibility of a Presbytery which superintends generally the spiritual and
temporal affairs of the congregations assigned to it by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in Ireland. Urney Presbyterian Church has been assigned to the Omagh Presbytery of the
Presbyterian Church in Ireland. The membership of the Presbytery consists mainly of the active
ministers of congregations assigned to it by the General Assembly, minsters who have retired
from active duty and an elder appointed by the Kirk Session of each congregation.

The General Assembly
The General Assembly is the supreme court of the Church, representing in one body the whole
Church and acting as its supreme legislative, administration and judicial authority, in dealing with
all matters brought before it. The General Assembly is normally constituted during the first week
in June for worship and to conduct its business. At the end of business it is dissolved. The
membership of the General Assembly consists mainly of the active ministers of each congregation,
retired minsters and a representative elder appointed by the Kirk Session of each congregation.
DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE
The charitable purpose of the congregation is the advancement of religion.
Urney Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. The
Presbyterian Church in Ireland, as a Reformed Church within the wider body of Christ is grounded
in the Scriptures, and exists to love and honour God through faith in His Son and by the power of
His Spirit, and to enable its members to play their part in fulfilling God's mission to ourworld.
The congregations mission purposes are summed up in our Mission Statement is:

ACTIVITIES AND OBJECTIVES
The congregation meets for worship every Sunday at 12.00 noon with visitors often joining us for
the Service especially at Baptisms and at Harvest. The Sacrament of the Lords Supper is observed
in January, April and September during the year and all those who have been baptised and who
have made a profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ are admitted to the Lord's Supper.
The congregation holds a fortnightly Bible study meeting jointly with our linked congregation of
Second Castlederg.
Other activities that meet in the Church Hall are the Sunday School, JuniorArts Club16 weeks per
term), Urney Crafters and the 2 O'clock club (both handcraft groups) and Urney Gardening Club
(monthly).
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Worship and prayer
Sunday Worship is usually held at 12.00 Noon, but there are also joint Services with Second
Castlederg during the year. Average attendance is between 15-25 including children and we have
15 children in our Sunday School. Sunday School meets after the Children's Talk and Hymn when
the children leave the service. There are 2 leaders with the children each week and all our leaders
who are eligible have been checked by Access Nl. We currently have the largest number of
children115) in Sunday School for many years and they continue to be involved in our All Age
Services for Youth and Children's Day in June, at harvest in October and the nativity Service on the
Sunday before Christmas.
During 2022, many of the Covid 19 restrictions that we had been adhering to in orderto keep our
members safe were gradually relaxed. We were able to remove social distancing and return to
singing all of our hymns without masks. At Easter we once again placed gift bags of Easter eggs for
every family in the pews along with an Easter message. As 2022 celebrated the Platinum Jubilee of
her Majesty Queen Elizabeth11, our Youth and Children's Service focused on her life and her faith
using material prepared by the Bible Society. We were able to hold two Harvest Services and
following the morning Harvest Service we gathered in the church grounds to plant a tree to mark
the platinum Jubilee. At our evening Service we were delighted to welcome friends and visitors
and to enjoy a Harvest Supper together in the Church Hall. A Carol Service was held on 11
th
December with members taking part and sharing in Bible Readings, poems and prayers. The Bible
Study Group meets fortnightly and comprises members of Urney and our linked congregation of
Second Castlederg. Everythird Bible Study is held in Urney Church Hall with 10-15 people
attending. In 2022 we finished our series on Life Lessons from the Psalms and completed 12
studie5 on New Testament Characters. Both the questions for discussion and the Minister's
comments continue to be emailed to Church members.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT {conVd)
In 2022 our Craft Groups were able to resume in person and later in the year the Gardening Club
re-opened. Support from the wider community for these organisations continues to be strong and
we give thanks for the dedicated leaders and all their efforts to maintain contact with each other
during the worst of the pandemic. The Junior Art Club met for a special Christmas event and it is
hoped that further meetings will take place during 2023.
There were two baptisms during the year and one of our Trustees and a faithful member of Kirk
Session died at the start of 2022. An Interim Kirk Session has been formed with the help of two
Elders from Second Castlederg congregation
The number of families claiming connection with the congregation is 29 and the total number of
communicant members is 52. The Minister of Second Castlederg and Urney, who had been in post
for almost 7 years, retired at the end of October 2022 and the congregation is now vacant.
Pastoral care
Members of the congregation who are unable to attend church due to sickness or age are visited
on a regular basis bythe minister and those who are unable to attend Communion receive Home
Communion twice a year. Members who are in hospital are visited faithfully and anyone who has
been bereaved is supported through frequent visits and prayer. In 2022 there was a return to
more normal visiting, where possible, both in private homes, Nursing Homes and Hospitals.
Mission and outreach
Urney congregation is small and located in a border area where in the past it has been difficult to
reach out to the local community. But with initiatives such as the Gardening Club, 20'Clock Club,
Junior Art Club and Urney Crafters, new friendships have been forged and relationships built. Our
United Appeal Target for Mission in 2022 was £1373.65 and our total contributions came to £1370
and with Gift Aid of £351.25 we exceeded our target of honour. With the outbreak of war in
Ukraine and the huge humanitarian crisis that resulted, the Moderator launched a special appeal
which raised £880.

URNEY PRESBYfERIAN CHURCH CONGREGATION OF THE PRESBYfERIAN CHURCH IN IRELAND
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT {cont'd)
The annual collection for the Presbyterian Children's Society raised £190 with £90 in Gift Aid. The
2022 World Developrnent Appeal was called 'Rekindling Hope" and had its main focus on
Lebanon. Along with its own PDlitical, economic and social difficulties worsened by Covid 19 and
the devastating explosion in Beirut Port in 2020, Lebanon hosts 1.5 million refugees from Syria.
Being a refugee not only labels you as'stateless, but it also means that you are less likely to access
education for your children, health care and employment. The 2022 project supported a Tear
Fund led project that aims to provide schooling, health care and self-employment in an area in
southern Beirut and raised £170 plus £60 in Gift Aid. We also supported a project in Sudan where
as many as one in everythree people have been displaced from their homes by conflict. Members
also donated items for the Samaritan's Purse Christmas Shoebox Appeal organised by 2,
Castlederg PW and gift cards, vouchers and gifts were donated to the Christmas Family Appeal run
each year by the Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul. The Sunday School has continued to
collect 20ps in Smartie boxes and during 2021 this raised £270 including donations from church
members and the Sunday School donated what was raised equally between Smile Train and
Sightsavers. In 2022 they collected a total of £190 which will once again be shared out to charities
of their choice. The annual Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal received £130.00 through donations
at our Remembrance Service. The Craft Groups donated hand-made quilts for families in Zambia
and held a Coffee and Crafts event in November raising £2620.00 with £1310 going to Foyle
Search and Rescue and E1310 for Bowel Cancer.
Presbyterv
The congregation was represented at the regular meetings of Presbytery by our minister and one
of the elders. This provides an important link between the congregations and the wider structures
of the church. Once again in 2022 Presbytery meeting5 were held in person.
General Assembly
The minister and one of our elders were nomina.ed to attend the meeting of the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland held in Assembly Buildings, Belfast, in June. The
Assembly returned to its usual month for meeting and the Minister and an Elder from the
congregation were able to attend.

Sunday School
Sunday School meets after the Children's Talk and Hymn when the children leave the service to
meet in the Church Hall. There are currently 15 children attending. We followed the Go Teach
Programme. We had 4 leaders working in a rota system with classes.
From January to June five children were using the Beginnerfs Come Learn 8ooklet and the rest of
the children followed the Go Teachneen Search syllabus, all on the same Biblical topic. In
September one child moved on to the Primary book and the rest of the children continued as
before.
th
Our Children's Day Service on 26 June followed the book, 'The Queen who Chose to Serve" in
celebration of Queen Elizabeth Il's Platinum Jubilee. Prizes were awarded and gifts given.
th
The young people read Harvest poems and readings at our Harvest Service on 16 October, while
the little ones performed a piece entitled'colours" A Family Fun Evening was held in the Hall in
th
the form of a Beetle Drive on Friday 16 September. The families of Christ Church Urney, our
neighbouring Church of Ireland Church were invited to join our Sunday School young people and
their families. Great fun w3s had by all. The evening ended with pizzas and a return invitation for
2023. The children supported the Sunday School Sm3rtie Box collection raising £270.00. This
money was divided between Smile Train and Sight Savers, giving £135.00 to each charity.
Urney Ladies WhatsApp Group
An Urney Ladies What's App Group was created at the start of lockdown for the women of the
church to keep in touch. The main benefits of the group were the support the members gave each
other and a means to let everyone know what was going on within the church. This has been
continued throughout the year.
Urne
Crafters and The 2 O'clock Club
Urne
Craft Clubs
The dedicated Urney Crafters meet at 10.303.m. on Wednesdays, They enjoyed fellowship
together sharing their knowledge of various crafts and planning activities. They continued with
their Crafty Ladies What's App Group, with crafting ideas and craic flying back and forth. The 2
O'clock Club joined the Urney Crafters each Wednesday from 2-4pm. Our membership took time
to increase after lockdown. Unfortunately we lost good friends and some members were nervous
about mixing in a public place again. Atthe end of the year 11/12 attended on average.
These ladies enjoyed a social time together having a bit of craic and a cup of tea while doing
various crafts for themselves and other5.
The members knit, crocheted and sewed many items for baby units (hats, cardigans, blankets etc.)
distributed to various hospitals, when the restrictions allowed.

The stor
of the
uilts which travelled from Urne
to Zambia.
In 2016 the 20'clock Club started to join hexagons together to make The Nl Big Sock to be entered
for the Guinness Book of World Records. This wa5 a Northern Ireland wide project but
unfortunately it was not completed and the crafters were left with approximately 14 m x 10 m of
patchwork. The Urney Crafters subsequently decided to make quilts of varying sizes to use up the
material and backing kindly donated by friends, hoping that they would eventually be used in a
deserving cause.
After much searching for an outlet, they contacted Gareth Hayes from Hope Drop
Inn Newtowncunningham in Co Donegal, who said they would gladly accept the quilts for a young
girls, home in Lusaka, Zambia, which they had officially opened the day beforel Wonderful timing.
th
On Wednesday 16 March the groups met with Pastor Gareth 3nd Pastor Elijah who runs their
Hope Mission in Lusaka, They spoke to the members of the work they were undertaking and how
they were also supporting children in the Street Orphan program they run, called Hope Mission
Zambi3, providing food, shelter and pastoral support.
The group were delighted to be able to present 20 quilts to Gareth and Elijah, who assured
everyone that the quilts would be taken to Zambia as soon as possible and given to the young girls
as their own personal quilts. This was a wonderful outcome for all concerned. (They arrived
within the next week)
When the Crafters listened to the story of the work Pastors Gareth and Elijah were doing they
checked their funds and gave them a cheque for £IOOO.00 for the work of Hope Drop Inn
Ministries.
Before lockdown the Urney Crafters and the 2 O'clock Club planned, designed and worked on a
Summer Panel. It was the second of four panels of the seasons showing God's beautiful world. To
do this the members had opportunities to use patchwork, embroidery stitches (like French knots,
long stitch and stump work), also applique, button art, knitting and crochet. When they got back
together they completed this Summer Panel.
After a short break and over several months, they worked on and completed the third, the
Autumn Panel. Other work was continuing alongside the panel.
A bag making workshop took place, resulting in various useful shopping bags being made out of
donated material.
th
A Craft Fair wa5 planned for Saturday 12 November and these bags and many other crafts were
completed for sale. (Toys, Christmas decorations, panels, blankets, throws, various cards and
other crafts) The Craft Fair was a resounding success Wlth many customers coming from near and
far. £2620.00 was raised with £1310 going to Foyle Search and Rescue and £1310 for Bowel
Cancer.
Also between the Crafters and the Gardening Club any donations were dropped into an ongoing
bucket for Air Ambulance Nl.

Urney Gardening Club
Urney Gardening Club met in the Church Hall in April for the firsttime since lockdown with about
35 attending. The members met on the last Tuesday of the month from 3.00-5.00pm, not on the
usual Wednesday, so that there wa5 no overlap with the Craft Clubs, due to Covid restrictions.
Sadly six of our members died since our last meeting before lockdown. The membership attending
was made up of church member5 and many from the surrounding areas. The club ha5 many keen,
knowledgeable gardeners and also those who enjoy the social aspect of the club.
At the April meeting Gail Campbell, from the local Alt Nursery and a member of our congregation,
gave an enjoyable, interesting talk and demonstration and she also had plants for sale. Many
members expre55ed their pleasure at being back together again as they looked forward to
meeting each other so much.
On May 31st Gordon Toner's talk was about Alpines. He and his wife travelled from Limavady.
Gordon is an expert and the members appreciated his presentation and slides on this topic. The
members remember with fondness their visit to his garden some years before.
The June meeting took the form of a visit to Adrienne Kelly's Oak Gardens, 219 Glenshane Rd.
About 25 members enjoyed the beautiful "room5 created in this widespread garden and also the
welcome cup of tea at the end.
In September the Club returned to the usual meeting day, the last Wednesday of the month at
th
3.30.-5.00pm. On 28 Kenny Crawford, from Irvinestown, discussed "Autumn Planting" and
reminisced about his first visit to the Club when it first started, expressing pleasure to see how it
had grown and had such a widespread membership.
On October 26th David Hardy, from Esker Farm Daffodils, gave an interesting talk describing how
he grew his bulb propagation business from small beginnings eventually sending his bulbs
worldwide. He had examples of his bulbs for sale. The Club hopes to visit Esker Farm in the future.
th
The Gardening Club was formed in 2012 and so celebrated its 10 Anniversary Christmas Party
with an exciting, inventive Flower Arranging Demonstration by the wonderful Milton Porter. The
festivities concluded with the consumption of a great array of delicious desserts supplied by the
members.
Urney Junior Art Club
The Art Club for children of Primary School age met for one session in December as a taster to see
if it should resume. Only 3 children attended due to illness and fear of infertion which was rife at
the time. Three leaders from the church were willing to try to reopen but it was decided to see
what the New Year would bring.

Volunteers
The Trustee5 are indebted to all of those who dedicated their time and gladly use their gifts and
abilities to serve God and be a blessing to each other and this community. In being so generous
with their lives, our work and witness continues to be maintained.
PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT
The Presbyterian Church in Ireland meets the public benefit requirement by providing benefit to
its members and the general public by making known the Christian Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ
through the advancement of religion.
The direct benefits which flow from the purposes of the Church include the gaining of an
understanding in Christian beliefs as set out in the Bible and in the Church's subordinate standards
{the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Shorter and Larger Catechisms) leadingto spiritual
and moral development and opportunities for response to Bible teaching. In turn, this framework
leads to practical expressions of Christian beliefs and standards in the local community such as
through the care of those in need (including the sick, disabled and bereaved).
Generally the above benefits are delivered locally by congregation5 and their members, or are
facil itated through presbyteries or are organised and del ivered centrally. Local del ivery is
facilitated by central resources in almost all cases. Public access is made known through the use of
noticeboards, printed material, press advertisement, websites, and soci31 media or in other ways.
The benefits are demonstrated through regular evaluation of the services and informal and ad-hoc
feedback from members, their families, and members of the public.
The purpose does not lead to harm, The only private benefit flowing from our purpose is related
to Ministers, Missionaries, Deaconesses, Irish Mission workers and Lay Agents who receive
benefits as a result of their holding office or employment. However, this is incidental and
necessary in order to further our charitable purpose. There are no other private benefits. The
beneficiaries of this purpose are members, their families, other individuals that the Presbyterian
Church in Ireland is in direct and indirect contact with, the community in which pastoral services
are provided and other communities throughout Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and
worldwide which benefit from our engagement with and support for both Christian and other
secular organisations, charities and individual members of the public.
The Kirk Session has had regard to the Charity Commissions public benefit requirement Statutory
guidance.
