LMI Trip down Memory Lane: First LMI Office in 1981

In 1981, YEMF (now LMI) bought our first office at 147 Albertbridge Road, Belfast for £1,500 ☎️🙂.

A derelict building, the property took over a year to renovate. The tradesmen who managed the renovation project were Robert Glass from Castlederg and Norman McCreedy from Hillsborough, who were joined by teams of young, enthusiastic volunteers every Saturday morning. The total cost of the renovation was approximately £20,000.

A Word for your Week: Colossians 3:16

LMI's A Word for your Week taken from Colossians 3:16

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.  Colossians 3:16 (ESV)

Paul was telling the believers at Colosse how important it was to have God’s word as their foundation. It is still our guidebook and source of wisdom today, as we contemplate another week ahead. We can read it and hide it in our hearts. Many Christian songs can also enable us to lift our hearts in thanksgiving and praise to God.

Tandragee Free Presbyterian Church Visit

It was absolutely brilliant to be ‘back on the road’ again last night, as Danny Roberts and Alan Dourish travelled to Tandragee Free Presbyterian Church to join them for their midweek prayer meeting 🚍
 
Alan provided an update on the work we have been doing during lockdown and then Danny shared from God’s word, preaching from Joel 1 and drawing on the parallels between society then and society today.

Bangor Worldwide 2020

The Bangor Worldwide Missionary Convention icon.

At this time of year, the LMI team would normally be busily planning for the Bangor Worldwide Missionary Convention at Hamilton Road Presbyterian Church. It’s always a highlight of our year and a welcome opportunity to serve the wider body of Christ, as we decorate the church and Global Village with flags, mannequins, infographics and a wide array of items from overseas 🇧🇷🇰🇭🇮🇱🇰🇪🇳🇵.

This year, however, the Worldwide will look very different from usual, with many events taking place online due to the pandemic (*there are some events taking place in-person but you must register for these.)

Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!  Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works! Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice! Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!

Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wondrous acts. Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.’
