First Presbyterian Church, Armagh want to say a massive thank you to everyone who donated to the Food Bank at their Harvest Service last Sunday. Thanks to your generosity, 253.6kg of food was delivered this week by Rev Thomas Moore, Leslie Crowe, and Renate Kyle.
The Armagh Food Bank continues to be a lifeline for those facing hardship in our community, offering emergency food parcels and a helping hand when it’s needed most.
We also give thanks for our elders James Boyd and Sadie Somerville, who volunteer faithfully, and for the many others who serve there, making a real difference in so many lives.

While Armagh Robinson Library is hosting the exhibition of ‘Icons on Ammo Boxes’, the icons will be moved to St Patrick’s Church of Ireland Cathedral on Sunday 19 October to be viewed before and after services and then returned to the Library. The exhibition has been created by Kyiv artists Sonya Atlantova and Oleksandr Klymenko.
The icons have been painted on fragments of ammunition boxes from the war zones in Ukraine. They serve as silent war witnesses and symbols of victory of life over death. The project is also to help raise funds to supply the frontline medical care in Ukraine, and so the icons are on sale.
One of the icons, showing The Vernicle (The Saviour), has been suggested as a possible gift to the Cathedral so that a part of this significant exhibition would find its long term home in the City of Armagh. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the Cathedral has displayed a Ukrainian flag and kept a candle burning when the Cathedral is open, along with copies of the New Testament, Bible readings and prayers in Ukrainian. The lit candle represents the light of hope - the hope that peace, healing and reconciliation will soon be a reality in that war torn land. The proposal is to display the icon permanently next to the flag and candle if funds can be found.
The amount to raise to purchase the icon is £1,500. If people wish to donate towards that amount, then please donate by placing cash inside the specific envelopes into the donation box. The box will be moved from the Cathedral to the Library and will remain there until the end of the exhibition. The amount raised will hopefully be enough to buy the icon, and all the money donated will ultimately be used for humanitarian aid in Ukraine.
