Ground Breaking Ceremony for new church at Oakfield Drive
Ground Breaking Ceremony for new church at Oakfield Drive on 29th May 1999 (Captured from VHS 2014)
At the time Pastor Sam said:
Our Ground Breaking Ceremony was held on the 29th May at the new church land at Oakfield Drive. It was a tremendous day for our congregation, as we were greeted by the warmest day of the year so far with beautiful sunshine and a large number of supporters to encourage us. There were at least fifteen ministers and pastors present from various denominations, together with our Mayor, Mrs Janet Crampsey, our Deputy Mayor Councillor Tom Creighton and Alderman James Brown. Each were there to cheer us on in the great task which we have embarked upon in the building of our new church. Also present were our Architect, the Builder and Bank Manager; with representatives from the Royal British Legion, the UDR Regimental Association, and Clanmill residents. Our local papers the Carrickfergus Advertiser and Times also took pictures and published fine articles of the event.
Rev Sidlow McFarland, from the North Street Presbyterian Church and Chairman of Mission Carrick gave us much encouragement as did Rev Brian Turnbull of the Antrim Community Church who also represented the Independent Minister's Fellowship meeting at Christchurch.
Just after the scripture readings from Pastor Marie came the dedication of the ground. I have to record that the prayer of dedication was not without some little emotion on my part as the history of the past twenty five years with my church passed before my eyes. But it was wonderful to see the emotion, the joy and the appreciation on the faces of all who were there to give God the glory. Thereafter brother George Yea presented the new spade to the Mayor. This was specially made and polished at Patterson's Spade Mill and donated by Michael and Irene McCune. After congratulations from the Mayor the first sod was enthusiastically turned to the applause of the congregation. Sister Elizabeth Craig then presented Alderman Crampsey with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
Our friends George and Jessie Cuthbertson were also there to encourage us, having travelled from Edinburgh, whilst Don Bowyer, a good friend of our church, supplied and put up the streamers giving much colour to the occasion. He also took many photos. Pastor Sam McIlwrath from the Belvoir Church had arranged for the fine band which accompanied the singing and entertained all our guests before the service and we extend to them all our grateful thanks.
My special thanks to the men and women of Christchurch who worked so hard in the moving of so many seats from the church to the site and the setting up of all the equipment; also to the catering group which provided such a wonderful reception. All this effort was going on whilst our faithful group of workers continued with their Car Boot Sale prior to the service.
A new era has opened for us in this our 25th Anniversary year. We have much to celebrate! Each week we can see the hand of God moving amongst us in answers to prayer in the building of the spiritual house as well as the material. Let us continue in the building of the house and let there be no let up in our efforts till we see the vision become a reality.
