Beside The Burn
This week we continue our series Finding Jesus! We are going to the Old Testament into the book of Genesis to Find Jesus at Babel, as we discover Jesus in places we never noticed before.

​Let’s Pray For Howth & Malahide (Co Dublin) 
Pray for a clear priority over all else to worship together, for a sense of God’s presence each week as the congregation gathers, and an eager appetite for God’s Word.


Inch (Co Donegal)
Pray for this small island congregation as they continue to witness for God to friends and neighbours. Pray for them as they discuss future plans with the Linkage Commission and other local congregations.

​Portstewart Primary Reading Partnership

Kathryn Taylor principal of Portstewart Primary School writes the following.
​In school we are focusing on improving reading across the school. 
We are also introducing a new literacy intervention called 'Reading Partnership'. This provides a support programme for pupils who require a little extra help with their reading or a boost in confidence. The Reading Partner volunteer provides a relaxed environment that gives pupils the time and space to practise and apply the skills taught by their teachers and to talk about their reading with an interested adult.
We are recruiting volunteers to work with our children to increase their reading skills and love of reading. If any member of your congregation who would enjoy supporting children to read please get encourage them to get in touch. 
Ideally this literacy intervention requires only 15 minutes of support 2 or 3 times a week per child over 10 weeks. In such a short space of time, many of the children that Reading Partners have worked with have shown great improvements in their reading ages. However we are flexible and can work around volunteers availability. 
Training will be given to volunteers in both supporting children to read and on safeguarding. Volunteers will also complete AccessNI checks. Please note that volunteers need to be 18 years or over to volunteer as a reading helper due to the safer recruitment checks required for the voluntary role.
If any members of your congregations who are interested in volunteering as a reading partner for our school please encourage them to get in touch with me by telephoning Mrs Kathryn Taylor on 02870832194
