Omagh will be celebrating its 184^th Anniversary on Sunday, September 18^th at 11:15 a.m.  There will not be a service in Boston that morning so that the charge may worship together.  Shawn will be preaching the sermon.  A light lunch will follow the service.

As Shawn informed the congregations during the worship service on Sunday August the 7^th, after more than 40 years in full-time ministry, 33 of which has been spent with the congregations of Boston and Omagh, he will be retiring.  This will take effect at the end of October.

The Session has decided that in light of the changed circumstances, the wearing of masks in the church is now optional.

Boston will be celebrating its long-awaited “200^th” Anniversary on Sunday, June 19^th at 11:00 a.m.  The guest preacher will be the Rev. Dr. Mark Lewis, and the Rev. Rod Lewis will be a special guest.  A light lunch will follow the service.  Following the lunch, at 1:30 Josh Sinclair will perform a short piano concert.  There will not be a service in Omagh that morning so that both congregations may worship together.

The Session has decided that in the interest of everyone’s safety, the wearing of masks will remain in place until the end of this month.  This decision will be re-visited then.  The proof of vaccination requirement has been dropped.

The Annual Meeting will be held following the April 10th worship service.  There will be a brief fellowship time with refreshments before the meeting.
