Mullabrack GFS

The Girls' Friendly Society was founded in London in 1875 by an Irishwoman Mrs Elizabeth Townsend to provide support, skills and training for girls who came from the country to work in the city. It was a society for friendship and recreation in which all girls might share a bond together in the fellowship of Christian love and service. The movement spread rapidly all over England and came to Irela

nd in 1877 and also to America and Australia about the same time. The Girls' Friendly Society is the oldest Church of Ireland organisation for girls and women.

Where's The Piccolo?

Sir Michael Costa was conducting a rehearsal in which the orchestra was joined by a great chorus. About halfway through the session, with trumpets blaring, drums rolling, and violins singing their rich melody, the piccolo player muttered to himself, "What good am I doing? I might just as well not be playing. Nobody can hear me anyway." So he kept the instrument to his mouth, but he made no sound. Within moments, the conductor cried, "Stop! Stop! Where's the piccolo?" It was missed by the ear of the most important person of all.

It's much the same way with the use of our abilities for the Lord. Whether our talent is great or small, the performance isn’t complete until we do our best with what we have.

-Richard De Haan

At certain times in life, we may feel insignificant and useless. Surrounded by people with greater talent than ours, we are tempted in our weak moments just to settle back and let somebody else do the work. We reason that what we have to offer won't make much difference anyway. We forget the truth suggested by our Lord's use of five loaves and two small fish to feed a multitude (John 6:1-14).

Each of us has something important to offer in His service.

“We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.” Romans 12:6a

We also welcome special guests Chris and Ross from to share with us about how God is with us in our fears and how we can live life to the full and shine for Him even when times are difficult.
