The Bishop of Connor, the Rt Rev Alan Abernethy conducted a service of rededication on Sunday March 5 at the newly improved and refurbished Rectory in Ballymena Parish.

This marked the culmination of more than 12 months of hard work and planning within the parish.

The rector, the Rev Mark McConnell, speaking on behalf of his family, thanked all concerned. “You have created both a wonderful home and a great place where we can share hospitality and be about God’s business together,” Mark said.
