Today Rev. Mike, our Minister & Church Building Manager,Paul Clarke began work on what is to be a new outdoor worship area at the church. The aim is to bring our services into direct contact with nature, weather permitting of course. It is planned that on various Sundays across the summer our service will be held outside.
The plan entails the building of a permanent Communion/ Worship table using one of the original 300 year old flagstones from the church.

In recent weeks we have had a number of enquiries about our missing plaque. The plaque is to commemorate The Rev. Thomas Dix Hinks ( 1767-1857 ), who was a Minister of our church. We are lucky that when the plaque fell from the pillar, it hit the ground and cleanly split in two.
We are in the process of having it repaired and restored to its rightful home.

As Minister of the church I was honoured to attend the launch of LGBT+ Awareness Week at Cork City Hall. The evening began with the official raising of the Pride flag by The Lord Mayor.
In his speech the Lord Mayor praised all the agencies involved in the week and declared Cork to be a Republic of Equality. We were also treated to wonderful music from our talented friends at Choral ConFusion.

Minister, Rev Mike O'Sullivan said : " What better way to connect with God than to enjoy the warmth of the Sun while we worship, after all God doesn't dwell in a building, the spark is within us and all of creation".
