 The
Rev. William Nixon, former curate of Hillsborough Parish has
been appointed as the new rector of Killaney and Carryduff in
succession to the Revd John Auchmuty, who moved to Belfast when
he became Rector of St Columba's, Knock in September. The
Institution service for the new rector of St Andrew's Church,
Killaney and St Ignatius Church, Carryduff will take place in St
Ignatius Church, Carryduff on Friday 15th February at 8.00pm.
The Nixon family, William, his wife Caz, children Anna, Alice
and Sam, now living in Edinburgh, are looking forward to
returning to Down & Dromore. Speaking after his appointment had
been announced Mr Nixon said, 'In 2005 when we were appointed to
Emmanuel Church in Edinburgh we never thought that God would
bring us back to Down and Dromore so quickly. Once again God's
plans and purposes amaze us. We look forward to the
encouragement and prayers of our friends in Down and Dromore
when we come home in February. As we prepare to celebrate
Christmas in Edinburgh, we are very excited about coming to work
with the people of Killaney and Carryduff and look forward to
seeing God's heart of love made known as we share in the work of
the Gospel with both congregations. Our prayer is that Jesus
will be honoured in all we undertake in His name, as we
journey on this new path of ministry. We are thankful to the
Lord for this door opening and believe, that in His strength,
great things lie ahead for both ourselves and those He is
calling to work with us to His praise and glory.'
