Today marked the end of a very special year for Danny Roberts, as his time as The Mayor’s Chaplain at Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council drew to a close.
 
Indebted to the outgoing Mayor, Councillor Andrew Gowan, for giving him the opportunity to serve in this important role, Danny spoke at the beginning of each council meeting, and at many special events, when he opened the Bible to share from God’s Word; encouraged listeners to consider the Gospel message; and shared from his own story, of God’s grace in his life.
 
He also enjoyed many excellent conversations with councillors from across the political spectrum, and with lots of kind civil servants, encouraging them all as they serve their community. All the glory for these special moments goes to God, and we know His word never returns to Him void.
 
Please pray that all the Danny has shared will stay with the councillors as they move forwards, causing them to give thought to things of eternal consequence, even as they continue to serve their constituents in the ‘here and now’.
 
Well done on a brilliant year, Danny.
