Presbyterian Church launches new podcast for local congregations

The Weekly podcast, entitled ‘These Three Remain: Stories of Faith, Hope & Love from the Presbyterian Church in Ireland’, will include insights from a variety of ministers and leaders in congregations across Ireland as they reflect on church life as it is now, share creative ways to respond and discuss supporting their local communities.

The podcast editor Alan Meban is member of Kilmakee Presbyterian Church, and it will be presented by PCI’s Discipleship Development Officer, Rick Hill.

The first episode in the ‘These Three Things’ podcast explores how congregations are adapting to their work given that church buildings are closed and church activities have ceased.

“Our first episode is called ‘Responding to a scattered Church’ and over the next few weeks we will also explore the need to re-imagine youth, children’s and family ministry, support people in this time of crisis and disciple people form a distance,” Rick explained.

Presbyterian Moderator, Rt Rev Dr William Henry, minister at Maze Presbyterian Church, said: “Different times lead to different ways of doing what we once took very much for granted. I really want to commend this podcast and thank all those working together, albeit remotely, to make this happen. I especially want to thank Rick who is presenting and Alan Meban, of Kilmakee Presbyterian, for editing it all together, not to mention the contributors of course. I would encourage everyone to follow along, sharing the podcast on social media, subscribing, leaving reviews and engaging with this new initiative as we get used, for however long, to these new times.”
