The Rambling Rector

Everyone loves to see Rory Wilson home where he belongs in St Columbanus! These days it’s not just the beard, the glasses and the

colourful shirts that give Rory away, it’s Denise and now Gideon – nearly 2 years old. Six months may seem like a pretty long holiday, but don’t forget the Wilsons only get home every third year. For those of you who know the names but not the story, having grown up in Ballyholme, Rory exchanged life at the Ashley Park Surgery as a GP, for life at Uganda’s Kiwoko Hospital as Medical Director. It’s fair to say that was at a time when things at home seemed economically buoyant, when jobs still seemed to be plentiful and more or less for life. As the downturn rumbles on, one has to wonder: could it be that some of the well-qualified and highly trained young people currently struggling to get their foot on the local career ladder might begin to think a little more laterally? The Christian mission agencies are always recruiting, short term and long term. God’s ‘Situations Vacant’ column has never been longer – and the Wilsons will readily vouch for the faithfulness and generosity of the employer.

It was announced in Church on 25 March (too late for the

April magazine) that, following the imminent departure of the Reverend Stephen Smyth on 17 June, the Reverend Alistair Morrison will be joining us as our new curate to begin in September. If the name rings a bell for some of you, it may be that you remember Alistair’s son Andrew who worked with

David Cavan through the 2008-2009 season as our Church of Ireland Youth Department Gap Year student. Alistair came to ministry after a career in architectural conservation and a long involvement in the parish of Belvoir. For the last year Alistair has been serving as intern Deacon in the parish of St Colman’s Dunmurry with our own former curate the Reverend Denise Acheson.

As you may have heard in Church on Easter Day, Sam Johnston our Youth Worker has

been ‘Recommended for Training’ for the Church of Ireland Ministry. This means that he will be leaving us this summer to begin full time residential study at the Church of Ireland Theological Institute in September. For the last year Sam has been pursuing the Foundation for Ministry course with St John’s Nottingham and if all goes according to plan he will graduate with an MTh degree from Trinity College Dublin in the summer of 2015 and proceed to Ordination. We rejoice with Sam and his family that the Church has affirmed his call and recognised the combination of personality and talent that make him such a remarkable young man.

This is just to say a “Huge Thank You” to all of you and friends at Ballyholme who gave and helped so generously

with food supplies for our CAP Storehouse.At present the need is so great that we are distributing an average of 5-8 food hampers each week, so you can see how much your thoughtfulness was appreciated.Can I please ask you to pass on profound gratitude, on behalf of, not just the Bangor Cap centre at Primacy, but also of Julie, our centre manager, and of course our clients, to the parishioners at Ballyholme. We all are most grateful.Many needy clients will have been helped to experience God’s love this Easter and beyond because of your kindness.

What’s on your iPod?Stefan AndreassonHi, I’m Stefan. I’ve been teaching and writing about politics at Queen’s University since 2003, when my wife Tracie and I moved to Northern Ireland from Arizona. We, and our two sons, Karl and Victor, have belonged to St Columbanus since 2008. I was born and grew up in Sweden and lived for twelve years across the American Midwest, Deep South and South west. When not buried in stacks of dusty books, I spend a lot of time listening to music, especially on evening walks down to Ballyholme and along the coast. My musical preferences are rather eclectic and what’s on the iPod at any one time tends to change rather drastically. In fact, being asked to list a Top Ten I found it desperately difficult to choose! In any case, here’s a very narrow slice of the kinds of music that I like and which has been playing on the iPod recently:

1 Ramblin’ Man The Allman Brothers Band2 Crazy Love Van Morrison3 Dindela Abdullah Ibrahim4 Love TKO Teddy Pendergrass5 The Magic Flute Mozart6 Neria Oliver Mtukudzi7 After Forever Black Sabbath8 Toh-Sui DJ Krush & Toshinori Kondo9 Mama, You Been On My Mind Bob Dylan10 Gospel Ship Earl Scruggs

Easter General Vestry Elections

Crèche Help NeededDuring the 10 o’clock service children aged 3 and under meet in the St Columbanus Room to play and colour, giving their parents a chance to enjoy church alone! Throughout this year we are delighted that the Crèche has grown in numbers but now this means that we need more help as Church of Ireland Guidelines require that there is 1 adult present for every 3 children.Would you be able to help the Crèche leaders as a volunteer on 2 or 3 Sundays a year during the

10 o’clock service? No previous experience necessary and all ages welcome. If you are interested in helping please speak to any one of the Crèche leaders (Violet Davidson, Katherine Newman, Julie Monaghan or Heather Glasgow) who will be at the back of the church at the end of the Family Service in June, or contact the Church Office (91274912).

Have you spotted the man with a beard seen lurking in the congregation recently? Dr Rory Wilson, his wife Denise and 2 year old

son Gideon are back in town.The Kiwoko Wilsons are on 5 months home leave and between visiting their support Parishes, which includes St Columbanus, and various meetings they are enjoying catching up with friends and family.For Gideon particularly the cold weather has been rather a shock. Brought up in temperatures of 20° – 30° or higher, the low temperatures and wind are proving hard to get used to. Keeping his shoes or slippers on is rarely a problem as otherwise his feet become very cold. He has enjoyed his first swim in Bangor Leisure Centre pool; again a rather cold experience but much enjoyed. It was certainly rather different to the muddy water hole that he can splash around in at Kiwoko Hospital.Gideon is also enjoying seeing such a variety of vehicles on the roads. On arrival in Heathrow he was fascinated to have a ride in a bus and train. Until now he has never seen a bin lorry, road

sweeper or the variety of vehicles of construction and destruction. To a little boy brought up in rural Uganda this is a very strange world.Rory, Denise and Gideon will be coming to talk to us in St Columbanus on Sunday 27th May at both the 10.00 am and 11.30 am services. They hope to meet with as many people as possible at breakfast which will be served between 9.15 and 10.00 am or at coffee between 10.45 and 11.30. For those who would like to support the work of Kiwoko Hospital there will be a collection bucket at the back of the church. cw

PARISH ACCOUNTS FOR 2011

Rector’s commentary on the year

2011-2012 was a year of genuine financial breakthrough for us in Ballyholme. As you will have heard by now, on Christmas Day I announced that we had paid the final instalment of our loan on the Parish Centre. This is a real cause for celebration and to God be all the glory. Credit must go to the whole parish for rising so admirably to the challenge of the Home Straight appeal, especially when so many are passing through times of financial uncertainty. The loans on the Rectory and the Curatage remain of course, and if the money continues to come in, we should clear our outstanding debt by Easter next year (2013). I know that it came as a genuine surprise to some parishioners that there was any sort of parish debt, let alone one of £176,000. The truth is, I was as surprised as any of you. Suffice to say, I have had a growing sense over the four years since coming to Ballyholme that the twofold key to financial well-being in our own and every other parish is transparency and communication. Let me explain.Shortly after I arrived in St Columbanus, a wise man said at a Vestry Meeting that as a parish, we are extremely happy with our Seniors programme co-ordinated by Karen Baker – and long may Karen and her wonderful team of volunteers continue. He went on to say that we’re equally happy with our Youth programme – co-ordinated latterly by Sam Johnston, whom we shall all miss very much when he moves on from Ballyholme this summer, but for whom we are keen to appoint a successor. He was careful to add that we are also entirely happy as a parish to support our various overseas missionary interests, especially our two major partnerships with Kajiado and Kiwoko. But his closing and final point was to say that what we must do as parish, and probably what we haven’t done hitherto, is be realistic about how much that costs on a Sunday by Sunday, week by week basis. How do we know how much to give, if we don’t know how much our parish is costing to run? I have never felt particularly at home in the world of accounts, but even I can see that what they always come down to is three critical figures: Income, Expenditure and Debt. The aim

for us must be to get those three figures ‘out there’ as the modern phrase has it, to filter them into the consciousness of the whole parish so that everyone has a real-world sense of our overheads and can see for themselves what their personal share of those overheads must be. In terms of the compilation of this year’s accounts, I cannot begin to convey to you the effort it has taken from our Honorary Treasurer, the always willing and never complaining Roy

Lawther. Behind the scenes, we are also heavily indebted to Mark McBride for the final reconciliations and formatting and to our Independent Examiner Peter Hamilton. Thanks must also be recorded to the unsung heroes John Peel and Harry Williamson who open the envelopes (and their able deputies

Charles Ruttle and Dennis McMorris) and to Anne Adams who so quietly and efficiently keeps our books up to date.It has been great to have Sue Bleakley back in the Parish Office after her period off last year. Her move from five mornings to three mornings a week has meant the welcome addition of Rachel Brittain to cover the other two days. Their job-share is working well and where would any of us be without the support of ever-present Ann Browne our Sexton and, when it comes to all matters worship, Ian Bell our Musical Director. Which leaves only one member of our staff team whose imminent departure none of us is looking forward to, least of all me. Who would have thought as we advertised for a curate in the summer of 2008 that God would answer our prayer so bountifully? In the Reverend Stephen Smyth Ballyholme has been blessed with dedication, vast pastoral and preaching experience and an international perspective, which has proved both timely and insightful. Weekday Morning Prayer will not be the same for me without Stephen and Sam, but I thank the Lord for the rich time He

Honorary TreasurerRoy Lawther

gave us together. As He continues to lead our parish forward it is comforting to remember that in every generation the Lord has more than supplied our need. Those who run our finances, our Parish administration and our programmes deserve our grateful thanks, but they represent just part of the extended team involved in the work of our busy parish. Our Children’s Church has made tremendous progress thanks to this year’s team of Jacqui, Michelle and Kelly, building on the foundation laid by Joan Dales. The Select Vestry keeps a watching brief on our finances, fabric and furnishings and I welcome its natural membership turnover. The annual introduction of fresh blood has the capacity to refresh Vestry’s thinking and provides new opportunities for service. So my thanks to Vestry members; thanks also to Susan and Gareth our 2011 Church Wardens and best wishes for 2012 to their successors Vicky Hayes and Stefan Andreasson. Glebe Wardens in St Columbanus tend to have lengthy tenures and Rector’s Warden Harry Brown reminded us recently that he

is entering his tenth, and what he plans will be his final year. Harry’s contribution to St Columbanus could fill a book; suffice to say it has ranged from unofficial site-clerk during the construction of the Parish Centre to being the only parishioner who understands the mysteries of our central heating time switches. A giant thanks then to Harry and as a token of our appreciation why not lend a hand with one or more of the Glebe working parties we plan to establish. These will start with the painting of the Church railings over Easter and move later to Beverley Gardens in anticipation of the arrival of our new curate.And last but not least, how could I forget, wasn’t the soup and lunch at our meeting absolutely superb? Thanks again to our catering team and to the shifts of Vestry members who assisted before and after. What a tremendous team of people we are blessed with; isn’t it comforting to remember that as the Lord leads our parish forward He has more than supplied our need in every generation. The St Columbanus cup still runneth over.

Select Vestry’s Review Of 2011

Similar to last year the Select Vestry presented a report and financial accounts in the format recommended by the Church of Ireland. They are a simplified version of the accounts previously presented and comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP)

“Accounting and Reporting by Charities”, produced by the Institutes of Chartered Accountants and the Charities Commission. The aim of the simplified accounts is to make them more understandable to all.Highlights of the accounts include:

Income:•Total Income rose from £206,161 to £219,451, an increase of £13,290 or 6%.•Voluntary planned giving through envelopes and standing orders (including the tax reclaimed) was £181,825, an increase of 5.3% from last year (£172,104).•Income from other sources, such as Catering, Legacies, Hall rental fell by 8% from £37,017 in 2009 to £34,057.

Expenditure:•Expenditure increased from £219,166 to £219,891, an increase of £725 or 0.3%•Our share of the costs of the diocese was £18,392 and represents just over 8% of our total expenditure.•Running costs have increased, e.g. heating and lighting by 9% and office costs such as postage, stationary and printing by 9.6%.

The outcome for the year was that we spent £441 more than our income, compared to £13,003 last year.

MissionsOur giving to mission during the year totalled £12,252 representing 5.42% of our total income. Mission giving comes from two sources:

1. Specific collections and gifts during the year totalling £5,065.2. Money from the general fund available for distribution by the Mission Committee, this is

transferred to the Missions account after the Easter Vestry each year and amounted to £7,753 this year.

10% of the building fund collected is donated to Kajiado. We gave £5,000 to the Kajiado project in January 2012.

Home StraightThe Home-Straight appeal, which was launched at the beginning of Lent 2010, has been a huge success. You the congregation have responded with incredible generosity to enable a considerable reduction in the debt to just above £53,000. In December, we paid off the Parish Centre debt and are on track to pay off the Ward Ave loan and Beverly mortgage next year. The Beverly Gdns mortgage has been reduced by routine monthly payments from £11,791 to £8,225 and the Ward Ave refurbishment loan from £48,434 to £45,296.

Thanks to the stream of support for the various Home Straight fund-raisers, which have peppered the year, from rectory garden parties and tea dances to Christmas Bazaars.

The challenge this year is fourfold:

• To maintain the momentum on the Home straight appeal to pay off our loans by end of 2013.

• Review our voluntary giving. Consider giving an additional £1 per week.

• Payment by Standing Orders. This will: ◊ Provide regular income. ◊ Reduce the cost of purchasing envelopes. ◊ Reduce the administrative burden of counting and banking the money.

• Financial stewardship. A budget has been produced, which will be discussed by the Select Vestry. This budget considers ways of reducing our costs over the next year.

The Crocks on the Rocks aka St Columbanus Walkers

The 4.200 acre Lagan Valley Regional Park runs for 11 miles from Stranmillis to Union Locks west of Lisburn and is a wonderful area for all sorts of activities – walking,

running, cycling, canoeing, orienteering, fishing and horse riding. It is typified by its rolling landscapes, ornamental parklands and farmland and was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1965.

Our party of 17 met in the Belvoir Forest Park. The estate was the former home of a plantation family, the Hills who arrived around 1740 and had a massive mansion where the car park is now. Subsequently it belonged to the Batesons and the Deramores, the latter leasing it to Walter H Wilson, a partner in Harland and Wolff. The last owner was Sir James Johnston, the Lord Mayor of Belfast in 1917/18. It is unique in that it is a working forest within a city!

We headed down to the Lagan through Corbie Wood and crossed at the Lock Keepers House, one of the few cottages still standing beside what remains of the 26 mile 18th century Lagan Canal, which was abandoned in 1950. From there we took the path through Clement Wilson Park (a former ‘factory garden’ for the Wilson Company) across the Lagan and then on to Shaw’s Bridge via the ‘Burma Road’, thus called because it was constructed out of rubble from bomb damaged buildings after World War II. It runs along the course of a former mill race that led from the River Lagan to a factory at Newforge. At Shaw’s Bridge we watched several canoeists on the river, over which are suspended slalom poles. The Bridge is named after Captain Shaw who built an oak bridge in 1655 to transport Cromwell’s guns across the river. This was replaced in 1698 with a stone one, which subsequently collapsed. The present five-arch span bridge was built in 1709. On along the towpath then, to Gilchrist Bridge and on through Edenderry village to the Giant’s Ring. This chambered grave is believed to be over 4,000 years old and unusual in that it is surrounded by an earthen ring. From there it was off to Terrace Hill for our picnic lunch.

The long gone Terrace Hill house was originally owned by Frederick Russell who had a bleach green and flour mill in nearby Edenderry. Several years and several owners later it was bought by Edward (Ned) Robinson, of the famous Robinson and Cleaver store in Belfast. After lunch we set off down

‘Freddy’s Steps (built by Frederick Russell) to the Minnowburn, famous for its beech trees, stunning in the autumn. From there it was a couple of miles back along the towpath to a welcome break at the Lock Keepers Inn before heading back to the Belvoir car park. The walk was very varied – forest paths, the Canal towpath, the riverside, fields, a short road and all in a peaceful environment within a few miles of Belfast city centre. Whilst our outing was about 6 miles, the Park has several access points from where you can do shorter

walks in a beautiful environment within easy reach of Bangor. For more info visit www.laganvalley.co.uk or you can buy a map at the offices beside the Lock Keepers Inn. Our next walk is the Barnavave Loop at Carlingford on May 5th. We leave at 8.30 from the church car park. Betty Armstrong

Sheep, Turf & Giants

Mid-March saw Youth Fellowship traveling up to Ballintoy on the north coast to spend a weekend in the Sheep

Island View youth hostel. Upon arriving, our first order of business was an orientation exercise designed to help us develop an understanding of our surroundings.“Hide and seek” as it is known was great fun. Ryan Forde was particularly elusive, evading detection by standing behind a door, a surprisingly successful strategy. Once we were fully acquainted with every inch of the building, we settled down to watch a film, before heading off to bed.Our speaker for the weekend was Matthew McCullough, who helped us to think about what Jesus

really means to us. Matthew joined us early on Saturday morning, and after breakfast, we launched into our first session. We then moved to the kitchen where, with a flurry of culinary activity, we prepared our packed lunches then set off for the Giant’s Causeway. We were blessed with fine weather throughout our stay, and Saturday afternoon was no exception.A leisurely walk down to the rocks, followed by sandwiches on the causeway made for a great opportunity to spend some time in conversation. Scrambling over the rocks to enjoy the view did result in a small slip and a bruised shin, but I can assure you that I was very brave and didn’t cry, not even a little bit.Upon returning to our accommodation, Matthew delivered his second presentation. Next we set off for bowling at the Jet Centre in Coleraine. Great fun was had by all,

and everyone managed to resist the temptation to put up the ‘bumpers’. We headed into the town centre for a Pizza dinner and then back to the Hostel. The rest of the evening was seen in with some games by the turf fire and a walk down by the harbour before we rested our heads after a busy day.Sunday morning saw us rising (relatively) early and eating a quick breakfast before tidying up. Once we were all packed away, we filled the cars and set of for White Park Bay beach. After walking along the shore, we set about constructing a makeshift

rounders pavilion. Competition was intense and we drew quite a crowd (well, some passing dogs seemed interested in the ball at least). Then it was up to the cars to head home.

We were fortunate to have great weather for our trip, and to be joined by Matthew who challenged us all to think about the place that God has in our lives. Residential weekends are always great opportunities to get to know one another better and to enjoy one another’s company. This weekend was no exception.

The Quiet CornerThe Right Attitude to Rain

The right attitude to rain is the title of one of Alexander McCall Smith’s novels in the Isabel Dalhousie series. It was a title which at first surprised

me, but then I was reminded of the Benediciteor The Song of Creation which is one of the canticles in our Prayer Book. You can find it on page 123. It is a beautiful hymn taking as its theme the whole of the created order coming together to worship and praise the Lord.

Bless the Lord sun and moon:Bless the Lord you stars of heaven;Bless the Lord all rain and dew:Sing his praise and exalt him forever.Bless the Lord all winds that blow:Bless the Lord you fire and heat;Bless the Lord scorching wind and bitter cold:Sing his praise and exalt him forever.

As the days start to warm up and we begin to look forward to summer it might be just that little bit easier for us to sing this canticle, but in the depths of winter it’s hard to say anything good about wind and rain and bitter cold. Perhaps it’s the same for our lives: the rough and the smooth, the light and the dark, our sorrows and our joys. Perhaps, on reflection, what we really need to do is develop a better attitude to rain.

The Rev Stephen Smyth

Access all Areas!

Those of you who park along the Groomsport Road to come to Church will no doubt recognise the

driveway into Sandringham Court.One of our neighbours in the flats has recently got in touch to let us know that twice he has been unable to get his van out because cars have been parked on both sides of the driveway leaving enough room for a car to get in or out but not a van. Of course if a van cannot get out, then an ambulance or fire engine could not possibly get in. Moreover, our neighbour is a volunteer with the RNLI and both times his access has been blocked he has been leaving in a hurry to respond to an emergency call.The Church has been there a lot longer than most of the people who live around it and none of our neighbours is objecting to us making the most of whatever space we can find available once a week or so. Since parking is often at a premium at St Columbanus, especially on a Sunday morning when the upper car park is full, please always take care to park legally and considerately. Thank you for your co‑operation.

Mothers’ Union

A big “THANK YOU” to everyone who came along and supported our Spring

Sale and Coffee Morning. We were delighted to have raised £900 which will go towards MU Diocesan and Overseas Projects. Thank you also for generously supplying items for Women’s Aid. We were able to forward 5 boxes of towels, toiletries and baby items to the Centre which were very much appreciated. Our last meeting before the summer break is the AGM on Monday 14th May at 8pm followed by a fork supper. The Outing this year is on Sat. 9th June. We will be leaving the Church at 9.30am, stopping for coffee and scones at the Old Post Office in Lisbane and a visit to the “Crafty Fox”. We then travel on to a Flower Festival in Kimood Parish and after lunch spend a few hours in Newcastle. Total cost is £25. Any one who would like to go, please contact Yvonne 91469707 or Janice 91857448. Hope you all have an enjoyable summer. Pat
