Sunday 9th May 2010 at 3.00 pm. There is no other evening service on this day.

On Sunday 2nd May Dromore’s town square was host to a cross community worship service. The service was part of Dromore’s Civic week activities which are organised by Dromore in Action.

This is the second year of such a service and Dromore In Action hope that it becomes an annual event. Last year’s service was organised by Dromore Cathedral, but although successful, it was essential that this year’s baton would pass to another Christian faith group. The 2010 event was organised by Pastor Sheila Smyth of Fresh Oil Ministries Dromore and hosted very successfully by Fresh Oil Ministries. The event was yet again a collaboration between Christian faiths in the town.

Intermittent heavy rain didn’t appear to dampen the enthusiasm of the assembled crowd (not a bad size given the day) who were treated to a programme of ‘old’ and ‘new’ worship songs. The programme included drama from Dromore’s Youth for Christ (DYFC), with those in the front row audience no doubt feeling part of the action. Although it was cold and wet, Amanda, one of DYFCs interns from Pennsylvania USA managed a violin solo, her fingers no doubt warmed by the love of Jesus in her heart. Individual singers from our Christian community demonstrated the gifts God has bestowed on the youth of Dromore.

Pastor Sheila Smyth led Fresh Oil Ministries large singing circle with the strains of the banjo lending a bit of an American ‘blue-grass’ feel to some of the musical pieces.

Karen Bowden, Dromore Cathedral’s new worship leader, along with husband Jeremy, led some of Dromore Cathedral’s Praise singers in old and rousing favourites “What a friend we have in Jesus” and ‘I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene”.

Dromore In Action thanked Sheila for all the effort which went into her organisation of the event. Planning for next year’s event will start early in 2011 and Dromore In Action would welcome ideas from potential organisers and participants.

Christ himself gathered his flock around him in the open air so, although out of the ordinary for Dromore, it was just as our Lord himself would have done. We pray it was pleasing to Him.

We wish all our readers and browsers a faithful, fruitful and fulfilling new year in 2010.
With faith in Christ, with willing servant hearts, and with a desire to see God’s kingdom extended, we cannot yet imagine what God will do with us and through us in the coming year. All we can seek to do is to be faithful to Him, to his Word, and in his work.
Romans 12.1-2
