This Sunday 13th May we meet in Ballyhenry at 11am and 7pm.

At our 11am service we will be taking time to remember the death of the Lord Jesus as we share together in bread and wine (communion). We will also be thinking in our service about choosing a new congregational committee. In particular we will be thinking about the character traits that the Bible encourages us to look for in those who would serve in this way. (This is ahead of us electing a new committee at the beginning of June). We will also be publicly receiving several individuals into full communicant membership.
