Hall

This is the oldest window in the church showing a bible and the verse “ The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom.”Prov 9:10 At the bottom of the window is the dedication: “Erected by Rev. William Kane BA In Commemoration of the completion of these Ecclesiastical Buildings 1880”

Rose

This beautiful window represents The Holy Trinity: God the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.

Bible

This window represents the Bible in which the story of Christianity from beginning to end is revealed. “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the […]

Holy Spirit

As soon as Jesus was baptised, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. And a voice from heaven said. “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Matt 3:16-17

Resurrection

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven…. The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are […]

Redemption

Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world! John 1:29

Incarnation

The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.” Luke 1 Ch2:10-11

Law

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” Moses was there with the Lord for forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant […]

Judgement

The Lord saw how great man’s wickedness had become…. The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the Lord said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth.” But Noah found favour in the eyes of the […]

Confusion

But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come let us go down and confuse their language so […]

Expulsion

And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever.” So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work […]

Temptation

“You will not surely die” the serpent said to the woman. “for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and […]

Creation

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. Gen 1:31 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the […]

Minister – Rev Andrew Watson

Welcome! Dunfanaghy is one of the most north-westerly Presbyterian congregations in Ireland. “Donegal” is sometimes known as the “fort of the foreigner”, the place where visitors are assured of a warm welcome. I hope this website gives you a ‘flavour’ of our life and work. While many find the “History” of interest, you can […]

History

A carefully researched exploration of our history, ‘Dunfanaghy’s Presbyterian Congregation and Its Times’ (PDF, 3.8Mb), a retrospect, was published in May 1978 by Colan MacArthur MA. Records mention a Presbyterian community and Minister in 1679. However, the Scots Plantations in the area of Dunfanaghy date from around 1610/1611 and “Presbyterian” clergy were in the Raphoe […]

Amos – the Last Call (Amos 5 v 18-27 Luke 13 v 1-9) On the 28th of August 1963, Martin Luther King stood on the steps of the Lincoln memorial in Washington DC and delivered his famous ‘I have a dream’ speech. It was a call to the country and people he loved to practise […]

Carol Service 2018 Dunfanaghy

No room for the baby in Bethlehem’s Inn,
Only a cattle shed!
No room on this earth for the dear Son of God
Nowhere to lay His head.
Only a cross did they give to our Lord,
Only a borrowed tomb.
Yet today He is seeking a place in your heart –
Will you still say to Him, ‘No room’?

No room for the Saviour today it seems,
So busy we just don’t have time.
Only contempt do we hear on TV
For the Lord of all glory sublime.
Selfishness, pride and idolatry reign
And are dragging us down to our doom!
God’s grace isn’t wanted, salvation despised
By a world that hasn’t got room.

Oh we’ve room for gambling, violence, sex,
Drunkenness, lying and more,
Spiralling deeper in darkness and pain
Unable to find the door.
Jesus would save you, bind up your wounds
And assure you of Heaven to come.
In stubborn defiance will you remain?
Will you still say to Him, ‘No room’?

The King will return here for judgement soon.
Creation will bow to His name.
Among His people that day will you be
Or crying out in terror and shame?
Let Him find room in your heart and your life,
Let Him have first place of all.
Turn from your sin, and welcome the Christ.
Be ready to answer His call.

When heavens arches ring and her choirs shall sing
At His coming in victory,
May His voice call us home saying ‘Yes, there is room,
There is room at my side for thee’.
And my heart shall rejoice Lord Jesus
When you come and you call for me.
Come now to my heart Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.
