Members MurphyMan30 Posted July 14, 2014 Members Share Posted July 14, 2014 Greetings Fellow Baptists, My name is Diarmaid Murphy. I am a 30yr old Irish guy from Co Clare in the West of Ireland. I live in Dublin though and am a fairly new Christian. I was Baptised roughly 2 years ago in Grosvner Road baptist church and was saved about 6 months before that. I am new to this online baptist community and am so glad to have found it. I am spending a good deal of time in Clare at home with my parentsand where they live is a very remote and isolated place called Mount Shannon (its really nice though!). I have been feeling very cut off from fellowship with other Christians and after initially having a profound spiritual high have found this last year very tough spiritually. I am in serious need of community, fellowship, church, bible edification and most of all our Lord Jesus Christ in my every actions and moments. I am so happy that I have found this community and would be really happy to receive and give any support/ fellowship/ encouragement possible. Thank you all, In Christ, Diarmiad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MurphyMan30 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Members Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thanks for your replies people. I guess I'm going to like Online Baptists. If there are any members from Ireland or have Irish family it would also be cool to connect even though any person living for God is an equal in fellowship.. Oh yeah, this is the church I was baptised in. Some of their sermons are pretty cool.. http://www.grosvenorbaptist.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Standing Firm In Christ Posted July 14, 2014 Members Share Posted July 14, 2014 My family may have Irish roots, but that was like the early-15th Century. Farthest back I could trace was 1405, Leichestershire. (some genealogy researchers say it was England, others say it was Ireland) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Standing Firm In Christ Posted July 14, 2014 Members Share Posted July 14, 2014 My grandmother claimed part Irish/part German descent, so I lean toward the family line being from Ireland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to a cousin who follows genealogy records, I have relatives in Ireland. Primarily in Dublin and County Mayo. Welcome aboard! In about a year, my husband and I will be traveling to Scotland, to help church planter friends of ours with their ministry there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Miss Daisy Posted July 15, 2014 Members Share Posted July 15, 2014 why does your church have Lord's supper so often? I looked at link to your church and it shows about every other week. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MurphyMan30 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Members Share Posted July 15, 2014 In response to your question Miss Daisy Im not sure why it has it so often. I grew up in a catholic background so I just thought that was usual for Baptist churches it being the first and only Baptist church Ive gone to.. Is it different in your church?

Members John81 Posted July 15, 2014 Members Share Posted July 15, 2014 Each Baptist church establishes their own time for the Lord's Supper. Our church has the Lord's Supper once a month, on the first Sunday of the month. Others do so at differing times; some more often, some less.

Administrators HappyChristian Posted July 15, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 15, 2014 Diarmaid, I have Irish in my family background as well (if you can't tell by my picture - that is myself and my son). My great-grandfather Thomas Devlin came over with his family to escape the Great Famine. I'm of the O'Devlins of County Tyrone on my paternal side. On the maternal side, I'm of Scotch-Irish descent of the clan McPheters (the spelling my grandmother's family used) immigrating from Northern Ireland as well. And then there is the McCoy link, also on my maternal grandmother's side (this is the clan McCoy of Hatfield/McCoy fame here in America), also being of Scotch and Irish descent.
