Newsletter - Sunday 4th January 2026

Dear Friends of Burnside,


I want to begin this Announcement Email by wishing you a Happy New Year.
This week in Burnside we consider our Psalm of the year - The Unshakeable God In A Shaken World - Psalm 46


Why not read through the Psalm

And listen to “Ancient Of Days” which we will be singing
