To celebrate 150 years of worship in Cooneen Church, we will be holding a Christmas Tree Festival from Friday 6th December to Sunday 8th December 2024.
The church will be open for viewing from 10.00am to 9.00pm Friday and Saturday, and from 2.00pm to 7.00pm on Sunday. A Carol Service will close the festival at 7.30pm on Sunday. Refreshments will be available in the parish hall during the viewing times, and a Santa's Grotto will be open on Saturday. Please come along and enjoy the festivities and the trees, many of which have been supplied by local business and organisations, whom we thank in advance for their support. On Sunday 17th November 2024 at 11am in Colebooke, we will have a service of Confirmation by the Bishop.
To prepare candidates for confirmation, I will be holding a series of classes each Thursday evening beginning 12th September 2024. Attendance at both class and church is required in order to be forwarded for confirmation. Those commencing 2nd year at secondary education, or higher beginning Sept 2024, are invited to attend. Please get in touch with me to register your young person, or if you have any queries. From Sunday 24th April, 2022, Cooneen’s services will begin at 9.30am on
the 1st, 2nd and 4th Sundays. Colebrooke's services on those same Sundays will begin at 11.00am. When the churches combine for Family Services, or other special occasions, the services will begin at 11.00am. During the summer months the services will alternate as in past years, and will begin at 11.00am each Sunday. These changes will hopefully allow a greater number of parishioners to worship weekly in Cooneen, and have been approved by both Select Vestries and the Bishop of Clogher. I plan to take holidays from 12th August - 12th September.
Canon Peter Wilson 02889521882 will cover any emergencies from 12th to 19th August. Canon Maurice Armstrong 02889541232 will cover from 20th August to 12th September. The church wardens also have details of those providing service cover. Thank you to Peter & Maurice, and also Joy and Ellen for services.
