“We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Protect Christians From Working Sundays.”
Current legislation does not protect Christians from having to work on Sunday so please sign this petition on the Downing Street website.
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.” Exodus 20:8-11
After last week’s very frustrating match at Cherryvale, Renwick returned to the Ozone with an impressive win against the islanders. With a similarly sized squad the manager was faced with a selection headache, but eventually decided the stick with the 4-3-3 formation which had worked to great effect in the opening games of the season. Ian Buchanan returned to the role of playmaker, while Robert Cromie claimed his first start of the season, with Robert McCaughan dropping to the bench.
So much for “the last available pitch”
For the second week running, Renwick were facing a team they had never played before. The Caribbean side had taken 4 points from a possible 6 and so the match was approached with caution. This may have been the first time Renwick had faced a team who normally play in black, and for a while it was thought the blue kit from the 2006-07 season would get a run out. However it then transpired that T&T’s kit is reversable and so would be playing in a red kit.
Clever
Not today
Renwick kicked off, with T&T refereeing the first 45. After a few early defensive lapses, Renwick soon picked up their game and started to dominate all over the park, picking up loose balls and winning the majority of headers. Mark McCavery opened the scoring on about 15 minutes, in a similar fashion to last week, seeing a shot first saved only to score from the rebound. The goal was a fair reflection on the game up to that point, with the formal colony failing to create any noteworthy chances. The second goal, probably the best of them all, came from some very good play in midfield. Gavin Blackwell picked up the ball, played it wide left to Robert Cromie who beat his man before picking out Philip Dunwoody in the box to knock in his fourth of the season.
The score remained at 2-0 for most of the half as T&T kept their defence tight and dealt well with the considerable pressure Renwick were putting them under. Towards the end of the half T&T had some attacks of their own, resulting in a few free kicks being conceded around the edge of the box giving the Renwick keeper something to do. A poorly defended corner which allowed T&T a free header in the box should have halved Renwick’s advantage but the header was straight at the keeper who comfortably caught it. Not long later the team in Red had the ball in Renwick’s box again, and in a bizarre piece of refereeing, Ben Hanna was deemed to have conceded a penalty for what seemed to be a perfectly legitimate challenge. Despite the Renwick protests the penalty stood. Having let a penalty in last week, McCullough had consulted Renwick legend Joel Loughridge about penalties. The advice was to stand up tall and not to dive. The striker struck the ball straight down the middle allowing the keeper to get hands on it and make the save, eventually resulting in a corner kick. A great confidence booster for the young goalkeeper.
As the half was drawing to a close, Renwick continued to pile forward. One attack saw Andrew Lynch surge into the opposition box from the right, cut in a play a dangerous ball across the face of goal, which the hapless defender could only turn into his own goal. Half time followed minutes later. Other noteworthy incidents from the half included a comical throw-in from Cromie and nasty looking challenge from Piemonger on Dealwithpainwell.
Boo
At the interval, three changes were made. Andrew McKelvey, making his first appearance of the season, and Mark Porter replaced Gavin Blackwell and Andrew Lynch in midfield and Robert McCaughan replaced Robert Cromie on the wing. Cromie took over the whistle for the second half, just as the rain was setting in.
Renwick started slowly in the half, now playing slightly into the wind. This meant another barrage of long kicks which were expertly dealt with by a defence led by Gareth Smith. After an hour Andrew Morrison and Philip Dunwoody came off to be replace by Chris Carson and Michael Hawthorne who both gave a good account of themselves. Trinidad and Tobago’s only real chance in the half came when the ball fell at the feet of their striker 8 yards from goal, which produced a one handed save from McCullough to push the ball over the bar. At the other end Renwick scored through Gareth Smith who rose well to meet a ball from Ben Hanna and beat the keeper to head in his first competitive goal for the club.
Lynch and Blackwell came back on for the last 20 minutes, taking the places of Buchanan and Hanna. Following a goalmouth scramble Michael Hawthorne managed to fire in the fifth from a tight looking angle. Andy McKelvey fell awkwardly in a tackle and had to be substituted off, with Philip Dunwoody returning to the action. McKelvey seemed determined to get his name on the scoresheet, and made a big contribution to the team while he was on the pitch. A rasping half volley from at least 25 yards stick out, and if it had been struck anywhere other than straight at the keeper would surely have resulted in a goal. It was a shame to see him go off in such circumstances. Only moments after coming on, Dunwoody broke free through the defence and from the edge of the box knocked the ball into the corner past the onrushing goalkeeper. With just minutes left on the clock, a harmless ball drifted into the T&T and in attempt to clear it, a defender was adjudged to have handled the ball, allowing Mark McCavery to step up and mark his 50th appearance for the club with his 20th goal of the season. The lone striker has had a fantastic start to the season and seems to be thriving on the support provided on the wings as well as the intelligent play of Ian Buchanan.
Philip Dunwoody might have completed his hat-trick in the dying seconds, only to see his goal controversially ruled out for offside. Still aggrieved at the penalty decision, the T&T keeper lashed out and for a moment it looked as though the situation could escalate, but heads were soon calmed and shortly after the referee blew the final whistle.
25 goals together
Another very satisfying return to form for the Elmwood side, and a great confidence booster ahead of their next match against Derry City Supporters Club. This was the fixture that all but ended Renwick’s title hopes last season, and those who played last year may still feel they have a point to prove. A composed and mature performance will be required if Renwick are to win, which, on the evidence of yesterday, they certainly capable of.
With such strong performances all across the pitch, it seems unfair to select any one individual as man of the match. Everyone was man of the match!
In other Belfast Super League news, MGT FC lost to Bar Staff, a team who themselves lost to Donegal Rangers on the opening day of the season. Results like this prove the unpredicatability of this league, and show why it is considered to be one of the top leagues in the world by many. Renwick currently sit 2nd in the league, however a late result from the Derry City vs. Law Society fixture could change this.
Fans of Piecam will be glad to know that he did later see if Getonwithitwell was alright. Just look at that cheeky grin!

It was all change for this years Eastern Presbytery Weekend as we moved away from the familiar territory of bed bugs, Ballyclabber sports hall and whiskey drinkers all around Bushmills and headed towards Ganaway BB Activity Centre. It did seem controversial; as for many, Bushmills has always screamed EP Weekend and many were left wondering if GAC’s old stomping ground could manage it.
So on reflection, just decided to put up a poll and let you, the people, vote on it. So regardless of whether you’ve been on the EP Weekend or not, let’s see what you think of these venues!
Well regardless of venue, I had a fantastic time on what is always a special weekend for me. I was eagerly anticipating Uncle Robert’s take on these series of talks on the Covenanters, knowing he is a Church History fanatic, and he didn’t disappoint.
We looked at what a Covenant actually is, where the making of Covenants is biblical (2 Chronicles 34) and how this impacts us. He had also produced time-lines that took us through 1516 (Martin Luthers Conversion) to 2009 (Continued existence of the RP church).
These were really helpful as we looked at many individuals such as Patrick Hamilton, Andrew Melville and James Guthrie, how God had worked in their hearts and in the nations hearts as he revealed this reformed message to many. But we also learned about the great challenges the Covenanters faced, the persecution from the Stewarts and ‘the Killing Times’ where 18,000 died for their beliefs in King Jesus.
A Covenant doesn’t bind us to any additional things outside the word of God, but it does bind us to that which is already our duty to do.
It was fascinating and challenging stuff and better still was to hear so many around me who hadn’t previously known much about this topic being enlightened by it. Dicussion Groups were also based around the topic and it was great to discuss these matters of Church history, to see my fellow brothers and sisters get a true grasp on what the cost was for this Reformed faith and also see many finally realise what that blue banner on their church signs actually means.

Saturday morning followed the usual format. The afternoon is where the benefits of Ganaway became very clear, a range of activites took place, starting with what seemed to be a fitness regime of relays, first in the usual sprint and then other variations of frog hopping, crab crawling and others. After this, people split up for the regulars of Football, Rounders and Volleyball, however some others afternoon activity was getting up from the sofas and going to the ‘vendys’. I went for Volleyball, our team comfortably winning both times, special mention must go to Ruth Coulter and Abi Nelson with their contributions.
Volleyball didn’t last for long as there was a change of game to ‘6 Square’, being introduced to me as a Trinity CY game, I was immediately wary of it but it turned out to be class, got me highly competitive and was good banter. (No photos of this sadly, the intensity of the game was so high there was no time! Plus I was too busy winning….) Every one then got cleaned up for tea and our evening activity, in this time Tom ‘the plumber’ Somerville managed to break and fix our toilet to our amazement.
Mark once again getting right in the middle of my scenic overview shots...

Peter seems to love captioning photos on AK these days, any suggestions for this one?
William's Saturday afternoon activity
After tea, Malcolm Ball then had a slot to talk to us about Nantes and complete his whirlwind tour of all the Presbyterys and Scotland. This was pretty challenging, also made me realised how rubbish I am at French, apparently I said I like Las Vegas to him? Could any one confirm this?!
Any way, after Uncle Roberts last talk, we were straight in for the infamous Saturday Night games, this year, taking the form of a ‘Friends like These’ contest. Games included, a Spelling Bee (insert American/Home-Schooler joke here, needless to say Abi won), Tights and Tennis Ball Bashing, Tower Making, Cotton Wool throwing, and well to put it frankly, Head Licking.
I think young Matthew was putting together a documentary of the Weekend

Conor about to cry, Rozi and Hayley loving the Dessert
Awaking on a wet Sabbath morning, we got packed up quickly and headed off to Ards RPC (or Nards as Ali G affctionately calls it). We benefitted greatly from the teaching we recieved from Romans, with Knox calling us to be Living Sacrifices for Christ, very appropriate for us as young people with our whole lives ahead of us. After this, we got a great lunch, great time of fellowship and then discussion groups and usual time of Psalm Singing. Was really challenged as a few of the younger guys got up and introduced the Psalms, made me realise about how excited we can be with good generations of young people coming through, living for Christ, but also how role models are needed too.
All in all, a fantastic weekend, very beneficial for every one during a busy time at school/university or work. Thanks go to the Committee for all the organisation and to God for giving us blessing in every thing we did.

Renwick suffer first defeat under new manager in nine goal thriller
McCavery adds 4 goals to his tally
Allure of 50th game draws record crowd
Cherryvale Playing Fields “naff”
Renwick’s excellent start to the season came to a shuddering halt this week against one of the new teams in the Belfast Super League, MGT FC. Having never met before, MGT were an unknown entity for the Elmwood crew, although having put six past World XI, Renwick knew they were in for their toughest test yet.
Renwick started with a familiar line-up, with Conor Hyndman replacing the injured Ian Buchanan just behind the attack after Michael Hawthorne went awol in the hours before kick-off, and Andrew Morrison returned at right-back. With one of the largest squads in recent memory, the subs’ bench was very strong, including the likes of last season’s hardman, Dave Smith and veteran forward Robert Cromie. MGT boasted a similarly sized squad, a number of whom had featured for other clubs in previous seasons.
Waiting for his chance
From the kick-off it was clear the match was going to be a tight affair with Renwick not allowing MGT to play through the middle but failing to dominate possession and struggling to create any real chances. In their first meaningful attack, the lone MGT striker broke through the Renwick defense and was bearing down on goal when Gareth Smith had seemingly recovered his position before being forced to dive in and take a lot of the man and little of the ball. The referee correctly awarded a penalty which was duly converted.
For the first time in over four and a half hours of football, Renwick found themselves trailing and found it difficult to respond. The second MGT goal followed shortly after, coming down their right flank. A lack of communication from the left side of the pitch left an MGT forward unmarked, who from considerable distance and a tight angle produced a shot of the highest quality, looping in over the goalie giving him no chance and bouncing in off the far post.
Possibly the second
2-0 down with 15 minutes to go in the first half, things were looking bleak for Renwick. The midfield were struggling to get hold of the ball, on the wings neither McCaughan nor Dunwoody could find any space to expose and playing as the lone striker, McCavery was facing two experienced centre-halves who hadn’t given him an inch. However, with a renewed determination Renwick started to play football the way they had in the previous 3 games and the goal was not long in coming, with McCavery released from midfield and having seen his first shot acrobatically saved, headed home from close range. Meanwhile at the other end MGT had few chances in open play, their biggest threat coming from corners. Going in at half-time the score was 2-1.
Captain Phil encouraging
Having played their worst 45 minutes of the season, Renwick knew at the start of the second 45 they had it all to do. Shortly after the restart, Ben Hanna broke down the left wing, and with his last action of the game, crossed the ball allowing Mark to finish with ease. Having finally put themselves into a winning position Renwick ought to have stayed there. After the goal Morrison changed the whole left of the pitch, bringing on Dave Smith and Philip Aicken for Rob McCaughan and Ben Hanna, and moving the industrious Steven McCollum to left-back.
It was deemed unfair to unleash Pete on them
Mark was then at it again, with Conor winning to ball in midfield, and slotting it between the centre and full back to allow Mark to run through and claim yet another. See this goal below. However only minutes afterwards, MGT gained possession in midfield and with a shot from nowhere managed to draw level to 3-3. Unfortunately this goal was down to a goalkeeping error and the keeper will be hoping to improve on scenarios like this in weeks to come. What the visiting referee made of it is anyone’s guess.
Get in
On 65 minutes Renwick’s player/manager Morrison took himself off for young Chris Carson who played a very good 25 minutes at right-back following his noteworthy performance against Donegal Rangers the previous week, and minutes later captain Philip Dunwoody was replaced by Robert Cromie. The goals kept on coming for MGT however, and they added another two in quick succession. There were 15 minutes left on the clock and the scoreboard read 5-3 in MGT’s favour. Renwick’s play had improved greatly since the first half and spent the remainder of the game encampted in MGT’s half. McCavery managed to add a fourth but it was not to be enough. Gareth Smith saw a header glance just wide of the post and a further two chances were cleared off the line in the same attack. An indirect free kick awarded for time-wasting was wasted by Renwick and ended up a throw-in. Had the team had that little bit more composure you might have been reading this yesterday they might have snatched a point from the game, but it wasn’t to be.
Perhaps it was the pressure of previous results, or maybe it was the record crowd, could it have been the change of venue, or even the lack of skills? Whatever it was, I sure hope it doesn’t bother us next week.

The management were unimpressed with the quality of the facilities at Cherryvale and will be seeking a return to the Ozone from next week. At the time of writing, fixtures for 4th November are unavailable, but keep an eye on the twitter feed on the right over the coming days.
A very big thanks to all who came and supported, it is very much appreciated. Come every week!
Man of the Match is this week shared between Mark McCavery for his 4 goal haul playing a very difficult role, and Andrew Lynch for the huge second half effort he put in in central midfield. Take note lads.

Finally, as a celebration of 50 Renwick games, a special shirt is being produced to mark the occasion. For those who have not been in Renwick recently, you can download the promotional poster here, and see a picture of the shirt below. Contact Andew Morrison if you’re interested. Cost – around £20
Renwick: J. McCullough, A. Morrison, G. Smith, S. McCollum, B. Hanna, P. Dunwoody (c), G. Blackwell, A. Lynch, C. Hyndman, R. McCaughan, M. McCavery. Subs: C.Carson, C. Robert, P. Aicken, D. Smith, P. Fallows.
Just a few things to mention before tomorrow’s game against MGT FC.
Firstly a change of location, we are not at the Ozone this week as it was fully booked when I phoned, but we will be at Cherryvale Playing Fields on Ravenhill Road. See on Google Maps. The pitches are about the same distance away from Renwick and are not all that far from the Ozone really. If you need a lift cars will be leaving from Renwick from around 1.40 onwards. Support would be much appreciated as this is Renwick’s 50th ever game (since records began). Trinidad and Tobago vs. FC World XI will also be taking place at Cherryvale.
Kick off is at 2.30, and changing rooms are available. If you plan on walking it the pitches are roughly 1.5 miles away from Renwick, it’s to be a nice enough day apparently..
Or if pictures are more your thing..
Hope that is clear enough, any questions just ask. See you there!

Midfield trio boss game from the centre of the park.
McCullough concedes for the first time.
Comprehensive victories in pre-season gave Renwick House cause for confidence before their Superleague curtain-raiser against Union. Previous encounters between the sides had been tightly contested and a similar encounter was anticipated by the Renwick Manager. Sadly other duties meant that Morrison was unavailable for his first competitive game in charge so match day authority was placed in the safe and experienced hands of the experienced Philip Dunwoody.
Renwick made the breakthrough within the ten minute mark when the ball fell to Buchanan just inside the penalty area and despite the defence’s desperate lunges he calmly placed the ball in the top right-hand corner. Union struggled to maintain possession for any length of time and were left awestruck by an exemplary goal created by Dunwoody’s cross to McCavery who duly buried his header for his 49th all-time Renwick goal. The College team still looked like they might pose a threat but were unable to find their way past the defence in which Carson had replaced the absent Morrison. The new right-back faced the brunt of the opposition’s attacks in his first start and dealt with them comfortably perhaps giving his coach another selection dilemma as he made a substantive case for regular inclusion.
Again the basis for Elmwood dominance came from the middle of the park where the three central midfielders looked comfortable in possession, provided good service for those ahead of them and proved an impenetrable shield through which Union could not play leaving no option but the long ball. Andy Lynch was rewarded for his hard work when his 60 yard run climaxed in an exchange with McCavery and the Bready man finished cooly for his first-ever outfield goal for the team. Not long afterwards a delicate through ball from Buchanan found caretaker boss Philip Dunwoody allowing him to make it four-nil completing an awesome 30 minutes. Later in the half UTC, were starved of time on the ball, came closest to a PCI first half goal from a dangerous in swinging corner which nearly beat a nervous McCullough but it was Renwick who were to have the last word before the break when one of McCaughan’s many unstoppable runs helped Mark McCavery bring up his half-century.
When play restarted Michael Hawthorne came on to make his long-awaited debut and youngster Philip Aicken also took to the field and linked well together on the pitch. Renwick’s superior fitness made a mark difference and Union’s lack of game time left acres of space in the middle despite the no.10 dropping deeper in search of the ball. McCavery scored twice, the second after stealing the ball from an opposing defender, before Blackwell put his name sheet making it eight without reply. A delightful chip over the keeper gave Mark his fifth of the game then Michael Hawthorne spotted the keeper out of position and made it double figures with an audacious 30 yard lob.
As the game became more stretched Union were afforded more opportunities and defensive confusion combined with a unprovidential bounce off Smith’s knee, wrong-footing McCullough whilst bringing the ball back into the path of the striker who finished Renwick’s run of clean sheets. Responding to this 80th minute consolation Ben Hanna found a good position at a set play but his header cleared the bar. It was the head of another defender, Steven McCollum who scored the 11th, diving to meet McCavery’s cross only minutes from the end.
Despite their greatest loss since Geoff Allen it should be noted that Union were probably the best opposition Renwick have encountered so far but a better side was met with a better performance as Morrison’s men claimed the three points. The new formation appears to be a permanent change and no side has yet been able to cope with Renwick’s extra man in the centre of the park. The strength in-depth of the current Elmwood side is particularly noteworthy with Hawthorne and Aicken adding to the manager’s selection headache but as Morrison has stated “It’s a nice problem to have”.
A glance at the other results has indicated the presence of other potential title contenders in league leaders, the Law Society and new side MGT who recorded an impressive 6-0 victory over World XI. The next fixture will be the 50th game of the modern Renwick House era and the side will be keen to mark the occasion with another victory.

This is the second part of a guest article written by William McCollum about his visit to the destination for the upcoming 2010 Covenanter International Holiday Conference.
(A indicates Gartmore House)
“Callander is 10 mile west of Loch Katrine, just past Loch Venachar. Callander is twice the size of Aberfoyle but is a similarly beautiful village. In Callander you can visit the Rob Roy centre and experience the Rob Roy story, rediscover your childhood with the Hamilton Toy museum, walk off your lunch with a 30 mins walk to Bracklinn Falls or the Falls of Leny, spend some money in the shops, enjoy the best Fish and Chips at ‘Mhor’ lovingly prepared by the Lewis family or relax in the McLaren Leisure centre and swimming pool. Just outside Callander on the road to Stirling is the Blair Drummond Safari and adventure park as well as the Monster Maize Maze which is an excellent opportunity to get completely lost.
Stirling is 20 miles east from Aberfoyle. A full afternoon to Stirling would be a good idea and the castle is worth a visit. Guided tours are available every 30mins, as part of the entrance fee, as is the tour of Argyll’s Lodging, which is a superb example of a 17th century townhouse that was owned by a prominent covenanter. However, get your name down early for the Argyll’s Lodging tour when you arrive at Stirling castle as only 6 tours take place per day and there are only 35 spaces per tour. Also in Stirling is the National Wallace Monument. But be warned there are 246 steps up to the top of the monument and they are small stone steps in a spiral staircase. The views were worth the hair raising climb up the steps but then you have to make you way down again, trying to pass those on their way up! You do however get to see William Wallace’s sword.
FREEDOM!
Loch Lomond is 20 miles south of Gartmore. The Loch can be best explored from town of Balloch. You can go to the Balloch Country Park for a walk a long the shores of Loch Lomond, visit the Balloch castle or enjoy the children’s play area. ‘Loch Lomond Shores’ is 5 mins walk from Balloch Country Park. Loch Lomond Shores offers boat trips on the Loch, bike hire, the Loch Lomond aquarium as well as numerous shops and coffee shops to relax beside the famous Loch.
Edinburgh and Glasgow are both about an hour from Gartmore. During Gartmore 2010 a trip to Edinburgh will definitely be arranged. It will offer the opportunity to spend the day learning more about Covenanting church history or for those who would rather shop on the Royal Mile that will also be available.
Hopefully this article will have given you a taste of the activities that are available off site around Gartmore, obviously there will be other activities happening on site as well as various evening entertainments.
