Dear Friends of Burnside,
This Sunday as most of our refurbishment work has been completed, we begin a short series on Building The Church. We turn to Matthew 16:13-20 and hear Jesus say, “On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” During the service we will also give thanks to God for his blessings and dedicate the work on the windows and the entrance to His glory.
Next Sunday 5th November we welcome Lee McAllister back to Burnside to conduct worship.

PW
2:00pm Monday 13th November 2023 with Neville McCormick from the Barnabas Fund. I had the privilege of meeting with Neville recently and hearing about this fascinating work which supports persecuted Christians financially. Many people when they turn to Christ, are living in countries where they are shunned by their families and they can no longer gain employment. Barnabas Fund enables them to develop new sources of income and get out of debt. All ladies are very welcome.

Church Finances
After our recent Committee meeting we realise that everyone has extra demands upon their finances, but it also means that Church expenses have increased significantly over the last year. We have taken a number of measures to reduce our expenditure but giving has also decreased over the last year. We have four months before the year end to address this and would ask you to prayerfully consider your response. The offering each week is received before and after the service via the plates in the vestibule or by transfer into the main Church Account no. 71013858 Sort Code 95-04-28
Treasurer
After 10 years serving as church treasurer, Francis Kerr has decided it is time to hand over the responsibilities. We thank Francis for his dedication in this job, if you think you could help the church as treasurer then speak to Francis, Jeremy or Richard for more details.
