Dear Friends of Burnside,
This week is Harvest Thanksgiving. Join us at 11:00am & 7:00pm as we give thanks for God’s provision for us this year. The praise at both services will be led by the choir. Join us after the evening service for supper in the hall.
There will be an opportunity to bring non-perishable food items which will be donated to the food bank at Ashes to Gold in Coleraine. There will also be an opportunity to give towards the United Appeal of the Presbyterian Church.

Climate Change Survey
The Presbyterian Church in Ireland (PCI) is conducting a survey to hear from a range of people within PCI regarding climate change. This will help to provide a better understanding of thinking, perceptions and positions within the denomination. This research by the Council for Global Mission, along with other data collection, will help shape how PCI can best engage with the issue of climate change and creation care. The survey is anonymous and should only be completed by members of PCI congregations.
The survey takes around 5 minutes to complete and will be available to complete from 20 September – 31 October. It can be found on the PCI website by visiting: https://www.presbyterianireland.org/stewardshipofcreation
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
Stained Glass Window Refurbishment
The two large circular stained glass windows have been removed for refurbishment. The Triple glazing panels have broken down and need to be replaced. Any donations towards this work can be directed to the Building Fund. Acc No. 41014986 Sort Code 95-04-28
