The Presbyterian Church in Ireland has scheduled 13 evenings titled 'Declare and Display' throughout March. These events highlight mission projects, church plants, chaplaincies and individual churches supported by the denomination's Council for Mission in Ireland and United Appeal for Mission.

Rick Hill, Council for Mission secretary, stated that the series offers church members and the public a chance to learn about missional activities across Ireland. He noted that each meeting features speakers involved in various aspects of the work and includes a video on a congregation in Galway city.

The first event occurred this week at Downshire Road Presbyterian Church in Newry. Rev David Curran discussed a church development project in Wexford. Rev Colin Dickson addressed the International Meeting Point in Belfast, which assists newcomers settling in the city.

Rev Ben Walker, Council for Mission in Ireland convenor, reported about 100 people attended the Newry event. He described the evenings as focusing on stories of work in prisons, universities, rural chaplaincies, mission pioneers and home mission congregations.

The final event is set for Sunday, March 29, at Molesworth Presbyterian Church in Cookstown. Speakers will include Rev Kenny Hanna, the rural chaplain, and Rev Nigel Craig, chaplain at Queen's University Belfast, Union Theological College and Stranmillis College in Belfast.
