This Sunday morning we meet in Ballyhenry at 11am for a special 'All Age Service'. We've a visiting speaker (Mr David Morrison) and we are looking forward to what he will be sharing with us. Children and teenagers will be in for the whole service but we also have a supervised creche as usual.

Then at 7pm Niall will be speaking on the next part of our series 'Ears to Hear'. This week we are in Luke 18:1-8 where our topic will be 'Persistent Prayer'.

Do be encouraged to join with us and be assured of a warm welcome.

This Sunday afternoon (Sun 16th Oct) we will be holding a communicants’ class in preparation for our next Communion Service (20th Nov). This group will meet in the Manse.

So … who is this for, and is it for you?

Over the last number of years a whole variety of people have come along to our communicants’ classes.

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

This Sunday is Harvest Sunday in Ballyhenry. If you live in the countryside 'Harvest' is a big thing and it makes sense to think about ploughed fields and all that they produce. However even in our urban context we believe that it is good and important to pause at this time of the year and to acknowledge that (to quote an old harvest hymn) 'all good gifts around us are sent from heaven above.' In the morning we welcome back to Ballyhenry our former Assistant, Rev Mark Dodds (who is based in Tyrone).

Following on from last week's service of thanksgiving and rededication we meet in Ballyhenry this Sunday at 11am and 7pm.
