Joan’s sister Valerie Ruddell explained that four special Music and Friendship Evenings will be held in various venues across the peninsula starting at 8pm each evening.

"They were always warmly welcomed. At each evening speakers will seek to illustrate how God can help people cope with the trials and difficulties of life.

"They will also use the Bible to show how people can find hope in a troubled world. The evenings are informal and there will be special music and singing,” said Valerie.

The first evening is in the Tul-na-Ri in Carndonagh on Tuesday, October 18 when Ed Smyth will bring a message of hope and inspiration.

On Thursday, October 20 a special evening will be held in the Community Centre in Greencastle when James McKean will bring a message of comfort.
