Dear Friends of Burnside,
This year marks the 50th Anniversary of Burnside Presbyterian Church and to mark the occasion the Moderator Rt. Rev. Dr. Richard Murray will conduct worship on Sunday 6th April 2025. We would love you to join with us on that Sunday for Worship, you are also invited to a meal in the church hall after the service (details below). Also do let others know about this special Sunday.
This Sunday, we are asking once again, “Who Are You Jesus?”
To help us understand who he is, Jesus once again takes an everyday object and tells us,
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture.
John 10:9 (NIV)
Join us this Sunday at 11:00am
Why not bring a friend who might be searching for light in their own life.
