Beside The Burn
This week we begin the Journey of Lent, a journey of 40 days through the Wilderness with Jesus Christ towards Easter. We will discover that Wilderness is a much more positive experience than we might imagine and we pray that we will be drawn into a deeper relationship with Jesus.

Let’s Pray For Margaret Robertson (deaconess, Elmwood, Lisburn) 
Give thanks that even though we are physically apart we are connected by the power and the presence of the Holy Spirit. Pray for guidance and wisdom for Margaret in conversations with people on the phone, especially with those who are facing difficulties and heartache.


Cahir and Fermoy
Pray that phone calls and text messages will encourage church members. Give thanks that God’s Word is reaching out through social media to some who would not normally attend services.
