Glenhoy Presbyterian Church

Information provided by Jo Mulligan

Introduction:

My husband was born into and brought up within this congregation and we belonged to it as a family after we married - both our sons were baptised in this church. My brother-in-law is still an elder there and we often visit and always attend the services and functions while there! (We now live in Wales)

I have transcribed these with a lot of help from a book "GLENHOY - the first 200 years" put together by Jack Johnston, MA, M Litt in 1979 and printed by W & G Baird, Antrim. This little book was printed for the congregation and local people and is full of interesting information.
