Newsletter - Sunday 23rd August 2026

Dear Friend of Burnside,


Join Us This Sunday as we continue our Summer Series of Summer Stories - Life Lessons We Learn In Sunday School. Revisiting some of the stories we have learnt as children, this week is Jonah. You can remind yourself of the story by reading the four chapters of Jonah before Sunday.


If you haven’t been at church for a while Sunday is a good time to return.


Don’t forget that Alistair Begg is in Portrush Presbyterian on Sunday at 7pm
