Millstreet Methodist Update

Services continue every Sunday night at 6.30 p. m. meeting in Drishane Castle (kindly granted) these meetings are open to everyone, not just residents of Drishane.

Also we are excited about plans for our mid-week Bible Group to move to more public premises in the town centre. From Tuesday 21st May this group will meet at
8.00 p. m. at the new Millstreet “Enterprise Centre” right on the town square. These are informal meetings when we gather to discuss the Bible together. They are open to anyone and everyone. A great way to find out more about the Bible and grow in faith. It would be great to see you there. <email>

Inside the first hour of racing on stage five they will scale the category two ascents of the Pass of Keimaneigh and Gortnabinna, then encounter 100 kilometres of mainly flat roads, passing through Macroom, Millstreet, Banteer and Mallow.
 
Those hoping to foil the sprinters will try to use the category three climb of Kildorrey to jump clear, but with fifteen kilometres between the summit and the finish, it’s a tough ask.” – from anpost.ie
