Newsletter - Sunday 18th January 2026

Dear Friends of Burnside,


This Sunday at Burnside we’re continuing our  series “Jesus – True and Better”, and you are warmly invited to join us.


We’ll be looking at the story of Abraham and Isaac discovering “Jesus, the True and Better Isaac”, and thinking about how this passage helps us understand what Jesus did for us at the cross. 


Our Bible reading will be Genesis 22:1–14 – the account of Abraham being asked to sacrifice his son Isaac and the Lord providing a substitute.


Whether you’re a regular at Burnside, someone who hasn’t been for a while, or you’ve never been before, you’ll be very welcome. 


We’d love to see you at 11:00am on Sunday


We will also be singing Psalm 103 again https://youtu.be/ZKKTIFCr1Js?si=ImmrZWGQqF1L2uy1


Join us on Sunday at 11:00am
