This Sunday in Ballyhenry we round out August with the final part of our series 'The Shepherd and the Sheep.' Our topic this week is 'The Precious Flock' seeing how the New Testament writers combine the imagery of sheep / shepherd / Lamb to emphasise the special place that the Church has in God's purposes and plans. If you are reading ahead our key passage will be 1 Peter 5 vs 1-6.

June Jones will be doing a special Children's Talk and our Praise Group will be leading from the front. Supervised creche and Streetwise for children of Primary School age.

It's that time of the year again for Meet the Neighbours at Ballyhenry. This year's event is being held on Saturday 20th August and gets under way at 12pm and runs through until 4pm.

Over the years Meet the Neighbours has grown into a really appreciated part of our local community's diary and this year as ever we have a whole range of things lined up to keep all ages entertained.

This Sunday in Ballyhenry we meet for our morning worship service at 11am. We seek to put our services together in a warm and welcoming environment, accessible for those who maybe haven't been to any church for a long time, as well as being 'home' for those who attend regularly.

The Bangor Worldwide Missionary Convention is taking place this month in Hamilton Road Presbyterian Church, Bangor (19th-27th August). The convention brings together a wide range of missionary speakers from around the world and also includes a series of morning 'Bible Readings'. This event comes warmly recommended (either to attend in person or to access many of their talks on-line).
