I've been listening to this song recently - it's called 'Call on the Name' and is sung by 'The Vertical Church Band'. Great words and really well set on YouTube. To watch/ listen click here.

I will call on the name
I will call on the name of the Lord
My God is greater

Jesus, my Saviour

This Sunday - 31st January

29 January 2016

This Sunday Dave Currie (Assistant Minister in Ballysillan Pres) will be speaking at our morning service. Over the past few weeks we have been working our way into the David story. This Sunday we take a sideways step into the book of Psalms. We’ll be looking at Psalm 1, the gateway into the book of prayers that is the Psalms, and explore how, when it comes to prayer, our first step is to listen to God, to fight our inattention and pay attention to his words about The Word. Morning service includes creche, children's provision and teenage Bible Class.
