May the God of hope fill you with all joy and
peace as you trust in Him.
Romans 15: 13 

2 Welcome
The Rev-view
Recently I listened to someone talk about what could
well be the most valuable thing in our possession. 
You’re maybe thinking it’s your home, or your family or
maybe (just maybe) it’s your pet dog. 

No, according to this person the most valuable

possession that we hold is the gift of our “yes.”  What
we say “yes” to determines much of the direction of
our lives.  I wonder what in life gets your “yes”… what
gets all of your attention, affirmation and trust? 

In the Bible we read about Abram whose family had

settled somewhere short of the land God had for them,
the Promised Land.  Into this setting God interrupts
Abram’s life, asking him to leave his country, his people and his father’s household for a
country that would be shown to him.  Notice this: no details given. “GO … leave and go
… not further details just yet Abram … just trust me and go.”  

Incredibly, Abram humbly obeys.      Abram said “yes” - not to a clear plan or precise
strategy - but “yes” to a person, to God Himself.  

This is what Christian faith is. God puts His hand upon us
and we say “yes” to Him. He calls, we respond. Our first
resounding “yes!” must always be to the saving work of
Jesus on our behalf - we trust all that He secured for us
through His death and resurrection. In faith we continue
to trust Him with all the days of our lives, trusting that He
travels before us and with us over every cloudless
mountaintop and through every dark valley. 

My big “yes” this past year has been to God’s call to

come to WPC.  I can report that this year, as with every
other year, He has been faithful in every way. 

Pause and think: what are you doing with your “yes?”    

Rev Stuart Hawthorne

 Raising


Faith
Many parents talk about that feeling of
walking out of the hospital with their new
born baby, cautiously driving home,
thinking “I have no idea what I’m doing,
how have I been given this responsibility?”
Yet at the same time they feel incredibly
blessed and so full of joy. It’s good to know
that almost everyone is feeling the same
way, a little overwhelmed and unsure.
There are so many things that lie ahead
that parents have never had to navigate
and figure out. When should children eat?
Sleep? Walk? Talk?. We all want what’s
best for our children and we want to help
them develop physically, intellectually and
emotionally to the best of our ability.
However what about their spiritual well
being?  

Maybe your memories of church and God

are not that pleasant. Maybe you were
forced to go to church, to sit in silence
while adults talked around you. Maybe
you felt like God let you down or abandoned you. Or maybe you didn’t understand
the Bible, you didn’t know what was so good and exciting about it all. If you are a
Christian now, I wonder is your testimony something along the lines of “I went to
church as a child but I didn’t understand anything until I was a teenager, or until I
was in my 30’s or 60’s?” So many of the adults I speak to have a similar experience
and so that is why I am passionate about ensuring parents are equipped to pass on
their faith to their children, and why as a church we care so much about ensuring
even the youngest child understands the truth of God’s word. 

Helping your child grow in their faith is both a God given responsibility and a divine
opportunity, but please don’t be daunted by that. That is something to rejoice in,
not run away from. It’s not difficult, in fact it’s probably a whole lot easier than potty
training! Children understand a lot more than we give them credit for and they
accept the love of a Heavenly Father easier than most adults do. Pointing your
children towards Jesus doesn’t have to be difficult nor does it require you to find
time in your already hectic life style. Instead it can be about finding Jesus in the
everyday, in the walk to school, acknowledging the Creator God as you take note
of the world around you, or playing some worship music as you drive in the car.  

4 Church Life
Praying for your children and with your children is so important. Again, this can happen
at the same time as doing other tasks. When homework is getting difficult, pray. When
they come for a cuddle, pause the TV and pray. When you’re putting them to bed or
around the dinner table, pray.  

Although God has given us this opportunity and has

commanded that we pass on our faith to our children, we
also must remember that He is the Lord of the harvest, not
us. He is the one who works in a child’s heart, we can
simply guide them, pray for them and allow Jesus to be at
work in their lives.

Raising Faith is a helpful and accessible book for parents

on how to pass on your faith to your children. Copies can
be purchased from the ‘Care for the Family’ website. 
The Kitchen Table Project Facebook Page is a growing
movement of mums and dads who want to inspire a faith
that lasts in our children. Follow the page for loads of
By Suzie Taylor simple ideas to build into everyday family life.

The Summer Book Club
“If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book. J.K. Rowling”

We asked ten readers of CONNECT to recommend a book for the summer!

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine (Gail Honeyman)

Eleanor leads a simple life and thinks she is ‘completely fine’; however,
you soon realise this may not be the case. The book illustrates how
small acts of kindness can make a difference to others. It is sad in
parts but also very funny. Recommended by Heather Brown

Longbourne (Jo Baker)

If you are a fan of Pride and Prejudice, this is for you. Set "below stairs"
in the Bennett household, the story alludes to Jane Austen's novel
while telling an engrossing self-contained story with an interesting
insight into the social history of the time. I was sorry to finish it.
Recommended by Felicity Young

The Shack (William P. Young)

Where is God when tragedy strikes? The Shack is an inspirational
page-turner you’ll struggle to put down. Embark on an emotional
roller coaster with Mack as he goes through a turbulent journey of
love, loss and a longing to find answers. I hope you enjoy it as much
as I did. Recommended by Claire Murphy

The Children Act (Ian McEwan)

This is a fascinating novel dealing with moral and ethical issues. A 17-
year-old young man develops a serious illness requiring treatment
involving blood transfusion; however, his family are devout Jehovah's
Witnesses for whom the procedure is prohibited. Although the subject
matter is very serious, it is an easy, thoroughly enjoyable read.
Recommended by Robert Thompson


Lamentation (C.J. Sansom)
Matthew Shardlake is a crime fighting lawyer who can't seem to keep
himself out of trouble, and in this instalment of the series he finds
himself caught up in a febrile atmosphere of fear, intolerance and
chicanery. Lovers of historical crime fiction will lap this up.
Recommended by Steve Bond

6 Church Life
 The Life you Never Expected (Andrew and Rachel Wilson)
An engaging and honest account from a couple parenting their
children with autism. This easy to read book provides guidance based
on biblical truths, hope for the future, empathy for the suffering and
suggestions for how to thrive when life doesn’t go how you expected.
Recommended by Claire Wilson

The Girl from Venice (Martin Cruz Smith)

Cenzo, a fisherman, is determined to sit out the last days of WWII
plying his trade in the waters surrounding Nazi occupied Venice. This
all changes when he rescues a young woman from the lagoon one
night. Cenzo is drawn into a murky world of ruthless partisans, defiant
Nazis and a social elite as shallow and treacherous as the lagoon
itself. Recommended by Keith Alexander

Soul Surfer (Bethany Hamilton)

This is a true story about Bethany Hamilton losing her arm in a shark
attack. It describes her recovery and how she returned to pro surfing.
I loved this book because Bethany is a Christian and an amazing
inspiration! I also want to live in Hawaii and surf all day!
Recommended by Beth Morrow

The Car Book: The Definitive Visual History (DK Publishing)

This book contains short summaries from Karl Benz to modern cars,
and follows automotive history, featuring luxury sports and
affordable cars. The summaries are accompanied by photographs,
and some cars have a detailed 2-page special feature. I would
recommend this book to anyone who has a curiosity about cars.
Recommended by Dylan Vaughan

The Dry (Jane Harper)

In this crime mystery novel, cop-turned-accountant Falk returns to his
hometown in the Australian outback to attend the funerals of his
childhood best friend, Luke, Luke’s wife and their son. Falk is drawn
into a grizzly investigation, forcing him to revisit events from his past
which harbour secrets of their own. Recommended by Phil Wilkinson

Surviving

 Sports Day
In my day, which wasn’t too long ago, Sports Day was a closed shop. Kids and teachers
only, no parents and certainly no extended family. To a certain extent it was a shame I
never really got to display my only real educational based achievement of beating
Andrew Buckley in the P7 final of the 60 meter race - proving all those doubters wrong.
That said I still returned home with the ribbon and tried my best to explain the history
that had just been written.  

Now as a parent of three and more importantly a parent of one child currently in
primary school I find invitations to sports days a conundrum to manage. I’ve been to 3
so far and participated in one daddies race - which I preserve the video evidence of a
clear victory. The race, however, was not the hardest part of the day. The hardest parts
were maintaining a laid back demeanour about the eventual Dads race, faking
enthusiasm for other peoples kids winning ahead of mine and maintaining a presence
of being “online” at work (because I was working from home).  

Luckily for me, I don’t yet have the stresses & strains of managing to watch more than
one of my own children compete in the races - I’ve watched those parents glide
around the Multi Use Games Areas (MUGA) hoping to catch a glimpse of their rays of
sunshine compete - it’s a work of art to display such enthusiasm. So, if you are to attend
a Sports Day this year, here’s a few helpful tips from an experienced participant. 


1. Leave the work phone at home. Calls can wait

- these make you look even more disinterested.  
2. Bring a foldable chair - it’s a long morning 
3. If you are a parent of many participating kids ,
pick a central position (unless you need to get
the steps up) 
4. Wear trainers. Someone will drag you into a
race (my wife once fell during the race and felt
embarrassed. I told her from the beginning her
shoes were inappropriate)  
5. Bring coffee. It’s a long morning 
6. Don’t book a day of annual leave for it - this is now a standard “family related” day in
the work calendar  
7. Smile. You may only have 7 of these to attend as a parent in your life .  
8. Bring money – there’s a coffee and buns break! (Sports day is not for your benefit) 

In a way, despite all the complexities, I’m  glad Sports Day has been deregulated by
Primary School principals now . It’s a way for me to get to see my child interact with her
school friends & teachers, whilst catching up with friends from the village. It enables a
sense of community spirit that is maybe difficult to cultivate otherwise. So, whatever
Sports Day you are attending this year, have fun and enjoy it.

 Cleaning Tips
What is it about this
time of year that
makes us want to
Spring clean? Thanks
to social media
cleaning and
decluttering have
become very ‘on
trend’. Popular
Instagram star Mrs
Hinch is now followed
by over 2 million
‘hinchers’ and is
providing tips on how
to keep their homes
spotlessly clean.
 
A friend recently introduced me to Marie Kondo, the Japanese tidying expert. Her
books and popular Netflix TV show have got fans asking whether or not their
belongings ‘spark joy’. If you feel the time has come to declutter your home she is
the person who can help you achieve that goal.  


How do I start?  
-Sort - gather everything of one type together. Kondo starts with clothes, then
books, papers, miscellaneous items and mementos.  

-Ask - pick up one item at a time and ask yourself ‘Does this spark joy?.  

-Discard - if the answer is no, discard, recycle or donate it.  

-Spark joy - if the item does spark joy, keep it!  

-Place - find somewhere to keep the item so you easily know where to find it. Kondo
uses a very helpful folding technique for clothing that saves wardrobe space.  


Does it spark joy?  


Joy is not a word most of us think of when we consider the seemingly endless task of
keeping a home free from clutter. One decluttering expert said,

‘Decluttering with a goal helps us focus on what’s really important in our household.
It shines a light on what is getting in the way of living life and what we have in
excess that we could be sharing with others’. (40 bags in 40 days)

In the Gospels, Jesus talks about how much value we should place on having
material possessions. Jesus asked the rich young ruler to sell his belongings and it
was a stumbling block to him following Jesus as he put these things higher up in list
of importance.

It is vital that we give ourselves a spiritual spring
clean and rid ourselves of the things that distract
us from being the best we can be. When we are
no longer controlled by clutter in our lives we
can change and grow in ways that bring us
closer to God.  We should ask questions about
how we are spending our time and what our
highest priorities are. Should we be so busy
cleaning our homes that we have no time to
meet that friend for coffee who needs a listening
ear? Should we be so distracted by social media
that we don’t have time to read God’s word? I
would encourage you, this Summer, to not only declutter your homes but also your
minds. Ask God to help you to be all that He has created you to be. ‘Create in me a
clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit in me’. (Psalm 51.10)  

    
It is so much easier to keep a home clean after the decluttering has taken place.
Even Mrs Hinch herself couldn’t clean a home full of unnecessary stuff! Likewise, by
decluttering our lives of the unnecessary distractions it is much easier to live lives that
are purposeful and focused on what it really important. Faith, love, peace and joy.

The Holy Spirit - divine miracle and mystery 
The Holy Spirit is often represented by the image of a white dove or by fire, but
who is the Holy Spirit and what part does he play in our Christian faith?

The Holy Trinity of God is made up three persons - the Father, the Son and the
Holy Spirit. Following his resurrection, Jesus returned to heaven and to ensure
his presence would always be with us, he gave the gift of his Holy Spirit at
Pentecost, which this year the church will celebrate on Sunday 9th June.

The Holy Spirit is the initiator and powerhouse of the Christian faith. His purpose
is to reveal the truth of who Jesus is and to enable us to live Christian lives that
bring glory to God. He is also known as our helper or comforter. He partners
with us, teaches us, prays for us and sustains us in every way to become firmly
established and to grow in a flourishing faith.

The Holy Spirit has the nature of Jesus. He is gentle, tenacious and powerful. He
does not force himself upon us, giving us freedom of choice, but draws us with
a loving kindness, convincing our hearts of our deepest needs for forgiveness,
Christ-like change and living hope. As we respond to him, he makes his home
within our hearts and begins his work of re-shaping our character, renewing our
minds, stirring our emotions and imparting the fruit of his nature into our lives.

The Holy Spirit is personal; he knows each of us

individually and tailors his ministry to us. He is
always with us, encouraging and caring for us,
meeting us at our point of need. At times of
difficulty he strengthens us with an unexplainable
peace and confidence in God. As the Spirit of
truth, he speaks to us through the Bible, helping
us to understand the scriptures and making them
real to us.

Jesus wants the very best for us, and his Spirit
guides us onto the best paths for our lives. He
gives us spiritual abilities for us to use to be a part
of his plans to bring his love and grace to the
world.

Community News
Some thirty years ago, at a time when I found myself afraid, exhausted and
restless, the Holy Spirit revealed to me my need to receive and follow Christ.
As I responded, I was given a new perspective in life, with new hope and
priorities. I continue to be a work of slow progress, it can be tough and I
often mess up, but the Holy Spirit never gives up and continues to make the
life of Jesus within me real. He is a gift that keeps on giving and for this and
much more, I am grateful.

If you are a Christian, I encourage you to intentionally

cultivate a lifestyle that enables you to nurture the
grace of a flourishing soul by spending time in God’s
presence, attentive and responsive to his Spirit.

Or if you have not yet taken the decision to follow

Christ, why not decide to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal
Jesus and your need for him to you. This will be the best
decision of your life and you’ll be amazed at what will
happen!

 Making Old Things New…
At the end of June, Waringstown will again play host to its annual vintage car
cavalcade. Some of the cars on display will have been cherished since they were
first driven off a forecourt, but others will have fallen into disrepair before being
restored to their former glory.  

Waringstown man Bobby Wilkinson has a long standing love of cars, and having
rallied a Mini and a number of Escorts in his younger days - mainly club rallies and
navigation events - he’s also undertaken a number of automotive renewals. 

The first car restored was a MG Midget, after which he moved on to a MGB GT.
Bobby has enjoyed displaying cars at the Waringstown cavalcade, but finds the
drive through the village a little slow for his liking, the memory of steam pouring out
of the MGB on one of those hot June evenings an experience he’s not keen to
relive!   After the MGB GT, he refurbished a Riley RMA, before taking a break for a
number of years. The restorations are time consuming projects: a friend of Bobby
helps him with some welding, but otherwise he undertakes all the work on the cars
himself.  

The next project was a 1961 Mini, which Bobby started but sold on before he’d
overhauled the car. He then bought another Mini, which had been off the road for
ten years, the photographs
accompanying this article showing the
difference Bobby made to the car. He
stripped that Mini right back to its shell,
fitted a new suspension and brakes, put a
1275cc engine in the car, and completely
overhauled the interior. 

Talk of Minis is timely given the car is 60

this year. The work of famed designer
Alec Issigonis, the car was a response to
rising oil prices caused by the 1956 Suez
Crisis, and was brought to the market in
just three years. The car is loved for the
face its big headlight eyes and wide
mouth radiator grill gives the car, as well
as its fun to drive character and wealth of
interior space - Bobby can recall having
six adults in one on at least one occasion.

Article by Colin Neill

16 Community News
After the second Mini project, Bobby
overhauled a very different type of car, a 1999
Porsche Boxster. The Boxster had a good body
but a lot of mechanical work was needed on it -
he recalls it as a ‘bottomless pit’ in terms of
money! Bobby has always loved Porsches,
recalling a house in Lurgan when he was
growing up that had a Porsche 356 he used to
stare at longingly, and he also laments a nearly-
bought Porsche 911 as ‘the one that got away’.  

Bobby may yet undertake another project. A friend

has a BMW 2002 that has been stored for 40 years
that could be refurbished, though he says that whilst
every car up to now has been a faithful restoration to
original form, if he did another car he would want to
bling it up & do something more creative with it.  

So if you’re out in Waringstown the last Friday evening of June, bear in mind that
behind every steering wheel is a Bobby or someone like him, and under every
bonnet the story of a much loved car.

A Heart for Volunteering
“You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give.” It has been
said that volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy so I caught up with
Waringstown’s ultimate volunteer Kerry Geddis to find out all about it. 

When did you start volunteering and why? 

After I attended the Olympic Games in 2012 in London I felt inspired and decided to
volunteer. I signed up with an organisation called “Volunteer Now”. My first event was
the World Police and Fire Games which, at that time, was the largest multi sport
event ever held in Northern Ireland. This was an amazing experience and cemented
my desire for volunteering.  

What events have you helped at? 

-Transport team – World Police and Fire Games - August 2013 

-Volunteer – European Heritage Open Day - September 2013 
-Marshall – Giro d’Italia - June 2014 
-Transport Team – Irish Open Golf, Newcastle – May 2015 
-Transport Team – Tall Ships Belfast – July 2015 
-Ambassador – Giro d’Italia Gran Fondo – June 2015, June 2016, June 2017 
-Marshall – Irish Open Golf, Portstewart – July 2017 
-Transport Team – IFA Women’s U19 Football – August 2017 
-Marshall – Belfast Marathon – May 2018 
-Volunteer – Irish Football Association – ongoing 

Which event has been your favourite and why?  

Whilst I have enjoyed all the events my favourite has to be the World Police and Fire
Games. The sheer size and scale of this event was breathtaking. It was planned on
the back of the Peace Process in Northern Ireland and it was heart warming when it
was dubbed the “friendliest games“. I feel it really put Northern Ireland on the map
as a great location for major events. I made many
new friends and we still stay in touch, meeting up
two to three times per year.  

The ultimate highlight for me however was meeting

the amazing and inspirational Lady Mary Peters
again. I had met her when I was just four years of
age and she was just as lovely when I met her again
this time. I was in awe and was in fact speechless to
begin with but soon was chatting away to her.

Community News
Tell me five ways volunteering has benefited you/ your life? 

1. A chance to give something back & an

opportunity to promote Northern Ireland
2. A chance to see places I would otherwise never
have seen: including behind the scenes look at
major events; 
3. Meeting new people and making friends for life; 
4. Learning new skills, and the opportunity to help
and learn from others; and 
5. Meeting VIPs such as delegates from other
countries and sporting greats 

Kerry agrees that the ability to remain flexible and

have a great sense of humour is very important for anyone thinking of taking on the
role of a volunteer but her enthusiasm for her role is certainly easy to see. When
talking to Kerry it is clear that she has many responsibilities and other things to keep
her busy but still makes the time for volunteering. The following quote from Habitat for
Humanity volunteer Elizabeth Andrew can be easily applied to her:   
“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time they just have the heart”
