You can catch up here with the Sunday Services and the daily Podcast or Lent : ROAD TO THE CROSS EASTER STORY TRAIL Don’t forget our Easter Story Trail along Portstewart Promenade. During the Easter Holidays you can follow our Interactive trail and discover the story of Easter. This has been organised by the two Presbyterian Churches in the Town, The story trail involves finding 5 posters in the shop windows along the Promenade, and each poster tells part of the Easter story from a different perspective. Beginning with Peter you simply scan the QR code on the poster with your phone, click the link, allow permissions and then point your phone at the picture on the poster and a short video will play. After Peter you are looking for Pilate and there are 5 different parts of the story to collect. We hope that you enjoy the story trail and once you have completed it join us on Sunday, as we celebrate that Jesus Christ is Risen.

This Sunday we begin a new series, “Jesus The True And Better …” Beginning with the Ark. Many know Noah’s Ark as a children’s tale with animals and a rainbow, but Scripture presents it as a sobering story of judgment and grace. Genesis 6:1-22 Peter tells us that the flood and the ark “correspond” to our salvation in Christ and to baptism, pointing deliberately beyond Noah to Jesus. 1 Peter 3:18-20 This Sunday we aim to see Jesus The True and Better Ark and to discover how our Salvation in Jesus is pictured in the Ark We will also be singing a version of Psalm 103 https://youtu.be/ZKKTIFCr1Js?si=ImmrZWGQqF1L2uy1 Join us on Sunday at 11:00am What Is Happening In Burnside Livestream https://burnsidechurch.weebly.com/sermons/sunday-11th-january-2026 World Development Appeal Thank You to everyone who contributed £1990 to Hives Of Hope this year.
