The Big Bash

Wonderful things sometimes happen when many people come together with one collective purpose. That's what the fellowship of Ballydown did at the weekend to pay tribute to Billy and Margaret. Billy has been the minister of Ballydown for some 36 years ably aided in every way by Margaret. It became evident very early on that the Church hall would be inadequate to accommodate all those wanting to attend. To that end we hired a large marquee and plans were set in motion to cater for around 300. It was a remarkable weekend, full of joy and emotion. On Sunday Billy delivered his last sermon to a packed Church and a large overflow in the Church Hall. Best wishes go to Billy and Margaret in whatever God has in store for them.
