Welcome To Burnside At Home

This week should have been the Girls’ Brigade Enrolment Service, but due to Covid-19 GB has not been able to meet this year, but today we have a special Church Service with lots of the Girls’ taking part as we remember that no matter what happens, God Is With Us.

This pre-recorded service is similar to what will take place at 11:00am in Burnside on Sunday. All of the video clips will be used so that the congregation can benefit from the enthusiasm of our GB Company. May God bless you as you worship with us today.

REOPENING
We plan to open our church building, once again for worship this Sunday (11:00am 18th October 2020) DV. and we will have an audio link into the hall once the church is filled. Everyone welcome.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
Campaigners Northern Ireland have had a online holiday club this week, so over the next few weeks our Sunday School is going to be the five days of the Holiday Club. This week we have Friday. You can either allow children to watch on a 2nd screen while you listen to the sermon, but better by far is to watch together and learn the songs and talk about the story.
Even if you are not of Sunday School age, I know of several adults who have enjoyed going back to Sunday School as last few weeks. Thanks to Laura at Campaigners for providing this.
