Beside The Burn
Hope At Easter. This week we rejoice at the resurrection of Jesus Christ and we see how difficult it can be to trust in Jesus. Why not share this Hope At Easter with others? Each day we look at another resurrection story to see how Jesus transforms lives.

Let’s Pray For Hope at Easter
Jesus is risen! He is risen indeed! May this worldwide affirmation by Christians on Easter Sunday set the tone of our walking in hope and by faith in days of uncertainty. May we be people of hope, not of despair, placing our trust in the Lord who reigns over all.


Hope at Easter
The Moderator plans to be with the congregation in Portrush on Easter Sunday morning.
Pray for congregations as they make plans to return to their buildings, with the necessary restrictions in place, and pray especially for congregations in the Republic, for whom the restrictions remain in place.


Hope at Easter
Pray for our political leaders in both jurisdictions. Pray for political stability, and confident, principled leadership from our governments. Pray for the grace to disagree well. Pray strongly against those who would bully or intimidate those with whom they differ. 


Young People
Young People have lost so much this past year. Pray that as we progress, churches and ministry organisations will be able to provide them physically, emotionally and spiritually restoring experiences.
