The Caldwell family would like to convey
their sincere thanks to Carnmoney

helped them through the last week
organising the funeral for their beloved
son and brother Peter following his sudden
death. We especially would like to thank
Michael for taking both the service at home
and in Roselawn and for being there to
help us through the tough days before the
funeral, such a wonderful service, a very
fitting tribute to Peter’s life. Also Jean Pillar
whose support we have come to rely on
so often over the last number of years and
whom we are thankful to for her support
through this entire week. To John Dickinson,

us. To Iris McVea and her amazing team for
providing refreshments at such short notice.

IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT HUMAN
TRAFFICKING
Wednesday 4 February at 7.30pm, Fortwilliam
& Macrory Presbyterian Church on the Antrim
Road.
On 17 March 2014 an historic agreement was
signed by the Anglican and Roman Catholic
Churches, with the full backing of Archbishop
Justin Welby and Pope Francis, to combat
slavery and human trafficking. This is the first
time since the Reformation that the Anglican
and Roman Catholic Churches have united
together on a project of world-wide import.
Human trafficking is a scourge which affects
approximately 29 million people worldwide,
not only far away but also here in Northern
Ireland. As a topic of interest and concern to
Christians of all denominations this evening
will have input from representatives of
Tearfund, Trócaire and Stop the Traffik, all
of which are involved in different ways, at
home and abroad, in the fight against human
trafficking.
Event Free BUT donations welcome towards
the cost of the event.
