Reflection……..
How are the New Year resolutions going? I am still keeping mine though I am accused
of cheating because for more years than l wish to remember my New Year resolution is
“not to make any New Year resolutions” and l have stuck to that. So while all around
me hang their heads in shame at their failure to keep whatever resolutions they made, l
can smile with contentment and satisfaction.
Having said that, in my Bible readings during January, l have become increasingly
aware of the fact that God actually encourages us to make new resolutions, new
beginnings and it’s never too late to start.
From the very beginning God has been interested in new starts or new
beginnings. The very first words in the Bible state that “In the beginning…God
created..”
And like so many people who made New Year resolutions which they have sadly
broken God’s people frequently did the same and had to begin all over again. At one
stage it became so bad that God sent a flood so He could start all over again through
Noah and later on He began again through Moses as He freed His people from slavery
in Egypt.
As you read the Bible you see numerous examples and instances of new beginnings.
At Christmas we celebrated a new beginning when God sent His Son Jesus into the
world to be our saviour. Time will end with a new beginning…with “a new heaven and
a new earth”.
In your parish you are looking forward to a new beginning… to the appointment of a
new Rector. During the vacancy remember in your prayers you Parish Nominators that
God will guide them to His person for your parishes and that He will prepare that person for His call to serve here.
In our own lives we all feel the need to change something, to make a new beginning.
To try to lose a bit of weight, take a bit more exercise etc. Maybe its time to forget
some old memories, to heal some broken relationship, to take more care of my soul and
make more time for the things of God.
February is a short month, a good time to make a new beginning even if l only resolve
to do something just for this month… who knows where and what that might lead to!
I will leave you with the words of a man who made many new beginnings…St. Paul,
“..Forgetting those things which are behind, I press towards the prize for the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
Canon Harold Given.
SERVICES FOR FEBRUARY
LEAVING SUPPER AT BOVEVAGH FOR REV. McBETH
A great evening with the choir singing, poetry, a sketch and country music
was held in Bovevagh Parish Centre on Monday, 29 th December to say
farewell to Rev McBeth, April and family.
After a lovely supper, presentations were made to Rev McBeth and April
from the parishioners, and other organizations.
We thank Rev McBeth for his dedication and service to our Parish during
his time with us and we wish him, April and their family God’s richest
blessing as they move on to All Saint’s Parish in Londonderry.
On Sunday 28th December, not only was it Rev McBeths last Sunday with
us but it was also Tommy Wallace's as Parish Reader. Tommy decided to
retire from being our Parish Reader and we presented him with a gift
for his long and dedicated service over the years. A gift was also
presented to David Robinson for over 50 years as a vestry member.
Congratulations and thank you to you both for all your work within the
church over the years.
On Monday 29th December we had a Farewell Party for Rev McBeth and
April in the Parish Centre. We were entertained by Kenny Archer, Kenny
Neely, poems by Cathy, the vestry ladies and Tommy, singing by the
choir and a sketch by Hilda & Joan.
Presentations were made by the Girls Bridage, the Bowling Club and the
Parish. Thank you to everyone who kindly gave a donation for them
leaving. They were presented with an oil painting of the church, a
bouquet of flowers and a money gift of £1105.00.
Rev McBeth thanked everyone for their generosity and said they had a great
4 years in Bovevagh & Dungiven and they were sorry to be leaving the 2
Parishes and wished us well for the future.
A lovely hot buffet supper was served afterwards and it was a great
night enjoyed by all.
Thanks goes to everyone who helped make the night a success, especially
to the ladies who prepared and served the food and to all who set up
the hall.

Bovevagh Flower Festival
This is 2015 and the countdown is on for our flower festival happening
from 29th - 31st May!
Preparations are well on the way and our plan for the festival themed on
'The circle of life' has been finalised. This has been given to the
Londonderry Floral Art Society who are now designing the floral
displays.
Again, we look at raising funds for the festival and so we are offering you,
the parishioners and members of the local community the opportunity to
get connected to the festival by being able to make a contribution to the
floral displays. A general donation can be made or you might want to
make a donation in memory of loved ones.
A minimum donation of £100 is requested and this can be made by
individuals, families, groups of people or organisations.
If you or someone you know is interested in making a donation, please do
not hesitate to contact any member of the flower festival committee
(Rosemary Robinson, Daphne Quigley or Beverly Steele).
Many thanks, in anticipation of your continued support.

2016 – A Year of Opportunity
In November 2014, Bishop Good announced his ideas for 2016 which will
be "A Year of Opportunity" for all parishes in the diocese. A meeting was
held recently for anyone interested in this to hear how to discern God’s
priorities and how to turn these hopes into plans. Over the next few
months, an interim team will be set up (representative of all sections of
our parish) under the guidance of Canon Given, who will meet together
and pray together, in order to formulate a plan for Bovevagh Parish
church for 2016.

humble to have been able to do the job for so many years. He thanked the
Rev. McBeth for his support during his time at Bovevagh and wished him
well as he moves on to a new Parish.
David Robinson also retired from the Vestry earlier in 2014 after over 50
years serving the Church. He was of sound counsel and wisdom, very
encouraging and a true gentleman. The
Church presented him with a gift to
recognise in a small way David’s
enormous work for the Church over
many many years. David thanked God
for the privilege and good health to be
able to serve his Church, he also
thanked the people of the Church for
their attendance and support.
REV MCBETH AND APRILS FAREWELL PARTY
AT DUNGIVEN
Thank you to everyone who made a contribution towards Rev McBeth &
Aprils gifts, on behalf of the congregation we presented them with a NIV
Proclamation Bible, Flowers and a cheque which will come in very handy
as they move to their new rectory. We would also like to thank all those
who took part in any way at their farewell party. All the performances
were excellent, Cecil was the perfect compare for the evening and we had
loads of laughs when our surprise guests arrived looking for a Blind Date
and made quite an impression on the Rev McBeth. It was our last evening
of fellowship together with them and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who
attended and as always concluded with a beautiful supper provided by the
ladies. We wish Rev McBeth, April & family God’s Riches blessing as he
continues his ministry at All Saints Clooney in Londonderry.

GOSPEL IN LIFE
A Gospel in Life course lasting 8 weeks will begin in Drumrane Primary
School on Wednesday 28th January 2015 at 8.00 p.m.
Participating churches include Banagher Presbyterian Church, Balteagh &
Bovevagh Presbyterian Churches, Dungiven & Largy Presbyterian Churches
and Dungiven & Bovevagh Parish Churches.
For further info visit http://www.gospelinlife.com/study-materials/gospel-inlife.html, where you’ll also find a video that can be used to promote the course
in your church or churches.
The blurb on the website states the following:
Gospel in Life is an eight-week course on the gospel and how it is lived out in
all of life— first in our hearts, then in community, and out into the world.
Week 1 opens the course with the theme of the city: our home now, the world
that is. Week 8 closes the course with the theme of the eternal city: our
heavenly home, the world that is to come. In between we will look at how the
gospel changes our hearts (weeks 2 and 3), changes our community (weeks 4
and 5), and changes how we live in the world (weeks 6 and 7).
Session Titles:
1. City: The World That Is
2. Heart: Three Ways to Live
3. Idolatry: The Sin Beneath The Sin
4. Community: The Context for Change
5. Witness: An Alternate City
6. Work: Cultivating the Garden
7. Justice: A People For Others
8. Eternity: The World That Is To Come
The course comes highly recommended by one of the participating ministers
who has used it in his previous church.
We look forward to a good representation from our local churches in this joint
effort.

A 'Thank you' letter from EMMS International has been received for our
donation of £300. Because it was received before 31st January it will be
matched, pound for pound, by the UK Government's Aid Match Scheme.
I would like to thank Rev. McBeth and the Select Vestry for the lovely gift
of an inscribed clock that I was presented with, having retired as a Parish
Reader. I enjoyed the role and I felt humbled in being able to serve the Lord
in this way and found my reward in the number of people who over the
years thanked me for the help they received from my prayers. I would also
like to thank all those who made contact with me on learning of my
retirement.
