This Sunday we meet for our morning service at 11am. This week we have the next in our series 'Everyday Disciples' working our way through the New Testament book of 1 Corinthians.

This is a chapter that raises lots of real life issues - do take the time to read ahead and to pray that the Holy Spirit will lead and teach as we come to this text.

This Sunday - 17th September

14 September 2017

This Sunday we meet in Ballyhenry at 11am and 7pm. At our 11am service we pick up on the next part of Paul's letter to the church in the city of Corinth. Our focus this week will be on 1 Corinthians 3 vs 1-17. In these verses Paul warns against Christian immaturity. It was a number of years since many of the Corinthians had been 'born again' (to use a phrase that Jesus used) but they hadn't grown up. We'll also be exploring themes from within the passage of what it means to be a 'servant' and how the church is God's field, His building and His Temple.
