This Sunday we meet together in Ballyhenry at 11am and 7pm.

At 11am we step out of our Daniel series for a single talk on Psalm 131. This short Psalm was originally sung by people in Old Testament times when they were on their way to church (the Temple). We are going to take our time to read through this Psalm and to find how it speaks to all of us as we make our way through the changing seasons and circumstances of life. Our Praise Group will be leading our music, and we will have a full children's provision, creche, and teenage Bible Class.

This Sunday we are meeting in Ballyhenry at 11am and 7pm.

At our 11am service we will be picking up the second in our talks on the book of Daniel. We will be looking at Daniel 2 vs 1-49 in a chapter where Nebuchadnezzar has a dream that no one is able to explain. No one that is apart from Daniel. Watch out particularly for how the theme of 'friendship' underpins this particular part of the story. As usual our service includes praise led by our Praise Group, supervised creche, children's provision and teenage Bible Class.
