Newsletter - Sunday 20th October 2024

Dear Friends of Burnside,


We warmly invite you to join us this Sunday as we invite our Girls’ Brigade Company and their families (and everyone else) to our annual G.B. Enrolment Service. The loose offering on Sunday will be given to the GB charity this year - Habitat For Humanity. Habitat for Humanity, Ireland is part of a wider international Christian housing organisation that helps families and communities to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter in 70 countries around the world. Please give generously.


Whether you are a regular attendee, haven't been in a while, or are looking for a church home, why not join us this Sunday at 11:00am. There will be a cuppa after the service in the Main Hall.


Thank you for the overwhelming response to the Ashes To Gold Food Bank Appeal at Harvest. The food was delivered on Monday to the Coleraine Charity and was greatly appreciated by the Coordinator David McCracken. (Hopefully his Thankyou letter is attached to this email.)


We look forward to seeing you on Sunday.
