Newsletter - Sunday 9th November 2025

Dear Friends of Burnside,


This week is Remembrance Sunday and we will begin our Service with an Act of Remembrance.
A wreath will also be laid at the Sunday Service on the Promenade.


This week we will be Remembering Jesus and thinking about some of the things about Jesus that we may have forgotten.
Also Remember your bible as we will be in the Church Hall again.


We look forward to worshipping with you!


Livestream Of Service
We will be in the Church Hall again on Sunday due to redecoration of the Meeting House. 
There will be no live streaming available but we do hope to record the service and make it available later at the link below.
