Newsletter - Sunday 11th January 2026

Dear Friends of Burnside,


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
