Newsletter - Sunday 8th February 2026

Dear Friends of Burnside,


This Sunday (8th) we continue our series and discover Jesus The True And Better David from 1 Samuel 16


Next Sunday (15th) we welcome back Carol Wilson.


If you are unable to join us in person, the service will also be available via our livestream, with music beginning from about 10:50am. You can find this, along with previous services, on our church website at www.BurnsidePCI.co.uk


Why not take the opportunity to come along this Sunday, or invite a friend who might appreciate some encouragement and hope? We would love to see you, to worship together, and to share more of the good news of Jesus, our true and better Joseph.


If you have missed anything in this series so far you can catch up here with the Sunday Services and the daily Podcast:
