Bishop Ken Clarke to become new Mission Director of SAMS Ireland from Autumn 2012
Press Release Added to Church of Ireland web page www.ireland.anglican.org/news/3940 on 10th February 2012
The Right Revd Ken Clarke, Bishop of Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh, has been appointed as the new full-time Mission Director of SAMS Ireland (South American Mission Society). He will take up the post later this year and continue as bishop of his diocese until the Autumn. Bishop Ken Clarke is in his twelfth year as Bishop of Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh, having been elected as bishop on the 13th November 2000. On the announcement of his appointment by SAMS Ireland, Bishop Clarke said: ‘I have been immensely privileged to serve in this Diocese. I have found many wonderful people who love their Church. We have a great team of clergy, Diocesan staff and hard-working volunteers. With my wife Helen, I have experienced love and loyalty in Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh. We are thankful to God for the many friendships made here. This year in our Diocese the theme is mission and I am looking forward to helping in many of the planned initiatives. For that reason I will not be leaving the Diocese until later this year in the Autumn.’
He continued, ‘I believe that God has called me to become more involved in SAMS Ireland and world mission. I am keen to develop and deepen links with Anglicans in South America and in other parts of the Anglican Communion. The development of leaders and the facilitation of missional opportunities will be amongst my priorities. My links with SAMS Ireland stretch over most of my forty years in ordained ministry and I have served as Chairperson since 1993. This new post will be an immense but exciting challenge.’

Please note change to Healing Bible Study location:
Due to to the road works on the N87 Bawnboy - Swanlinbar road it has been decided that the final Bible study for this season will take place in Kinawley Minor hall and not in Swanlinbar. The change of venue will make it easier for the Southern end of the group to get there. It begins as usual at 8pm on Thursday 24th.
Rev Brendan will be leading a short Bible study series on healing.
The meetings in Ballyconnell old school are on the following dates.
| Thursday 24th November 8pm |

These meetings will be practical with opportunity for prayer for healing.

Day
of Prayer 11.11.11
This Friday 11th November 11.11.11 is both a unique date and a special day for prayer in Ireland.
Along with other churches in this land we are having a special hour to pray in each church.
The 7 churches in our group will each be a space for prayer with 12 prayer points around the building.
We will soon discover there is so much we can pray for and many different ways of praying.

Sometimes even the mention of prayer can be intimidating and this day takes that into account so that everyone can be encouraged.
No one will need to pray out loud.
The visual style of prayer with our prayer points will be a great way to spend an hour and we will discover an hour flies in!
After a simple opening prayer there will be chance for everyone to move around, explore and pray.
