Introduction of new Minister–In–Charge in Lower Shankill
The Rev Canon James Carson was introduced as Minister–in–Charge of the Lower Shankill Team Ministry, Diocese of Connor, at a service which spanned two churches on Sunday March 13.
The service got underway in St Stephen’s Parish Church, Millfield, at 3pm, and mid–way through clergy and the congregation all walked the short distance to St Michael’s Parish Church.
A large congregation of parishioners, family and friends heard Canon Carson introduced in both churches by the Bishop of Connor, the Rt Rev Alan Abernethy.
During the service Canon Carson’s daughters Emma and Lisa sang a duet. The sermon was preached in St Stephen’s by the Bishop.
The ‘parade’ which followed the footpath (pictured above), proved quite an eye catching sight!
Canon Carson was formerly rector of St Paul’s Parish, Lisburn.
