22 September 2016

This Sunday is a special day in the life of Ballyhenry. Over the summer months we have been carrying out a programme of refurbishment to mark the 40th anniversary of the opening of our church building in 1976. With this work now complete we gather on Sunday to give thanks for God's faithfulness over the years and to rededicate ourselves, and our facilities, to Him and His work.

This Sunday - 18th September

15 September 2016

This Sunday morning we gather in Ballyhenry for morning worship at 11am. Our theme for the morning is 'Don't just listen. Do it.' Our Bible focus is on James 1:19-27 where we find James highlighting the importance of being good listeners - listening to one another and primarily listening to God's word (the Bible).
