 Dear Friends of Burnside,
We warmly invite you to join us this Sunday in Burnside as we gather to praise God, seek His presence, and encourage one another for the journey ahead. This week we conclude our summer series, Excess Summer Baggage: Letting Go for a Lighter Life Releasing the burdens we carry for Christ’s freedom. Our focus is on “Throwing Off All That Hinders”, drawing inspiration from Hebrews 12:1-3. In this passage, we are reminded to throw off everything that hinders us and the sin that entangles, and to run with endurance the race set before us. We will discover how faith, the example of those who have gone before us, and especially keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, enable us to travel light and finish strong—no matter what life brings. Whether you feel weary or eager, burdened or hopeful, the service will offer an opportunity to worship, reflect, and be encouraged in your faith. We will sing and pray together, and hear God’s promise for our lives. Bible Reading Hebrews 11:1-3; 39 – 12:3 “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith...” (Hebrews 12:1-2) Come and be part of this time of blessing and fellowship as we journey together. Livestream Of Service If you aren’t able to join with us on Sunday you can watch the Livestream at anytime throughout the week.

The inspiration is Psalm 23 - The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he restores my soul. Psalms 23:1-3 (NIV) Burnside Church was first planted beside a burn (a stream) and each day I want to encourage you to take time to sit down beside the burn with the word of God and ask the Holy Spirit to restore your soul. Each episode offers Bible teaching, prayer, and quiet reflection.
