The Protestant Reformation provided the foundation for everything that King William III stood for and should be the primary focus for Orangeism today.

We encourage you to attend this special service to give thanks for those who brought the saving truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of Europe.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”
‭‭
Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭16-17

It should’t really surprise anyone what Donald Trump has said. He is well known for flattering his host when the occasion suits and he certainly had the Irish Prime Minister grinning like a Cheshire Cat after publicly inflating his ego.

The fact that the US President was visiting the Irish Open at his golf resort in Doonbeg, and that this comment - coupled with an on‑course announcement about cutting tariffs on Irish wh***ey - would almost certainly guarantee a friendly welcome, is no coincidence either.

He would do well to stick to his own affairs, but with elections coming up in November, comments like this to please the Irish ex-pats and promises of a cash payout to every US adult for a Republican victory, probably show us what his real agenda is.

The Imperial Grand Master of the Independent Orange Institution has blasted US president Donald Trump after he backed a united Ireland.

September 11th. You only need to mention the date and people know exactly what you are talking about.

Twenty-five years ago an unimaginable event unfolded before our eyes on television. Within the space of twenty minutes two hijacked planes were flown into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York.

Approximately thirty minutes later a third plane was flown into the side of The Pentagon building in Arlington County, Virginia. A fourth plane, potentially headed to another key location, was crashed into the ground in Somerset County, Pensylvania after the hijackers were resisted by passengers onboard.

Two thousand nine hundred and seventy seven people were killed and thousands more injured at the hands of terrorists. The remains of over one thousand of the victims have still to be identified.

Men and women on their way to work. First responders and emergency services coming to the aid of those caught up in the attacks. People travelling to see family and friends.

We are all too aware in Northern Ireland of what terrorism is capable of, albeit on a smaller scale. Terrorism destroys lives - it is unjustifiable past, present and future. No ifs or buts. Nobody will ever tell us otherwise.

Today we remember those whose loved ones were victims on that horrific day and our thoughts and prayers are with the survivors.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18
