8 August 2015

This Sunday we meet in Ballyhenry for our morning service at 11am. As usual music will be led by our Praise Group and there will be a supervised creche and summer Sunday School programme. Our Bible teaching this week comes from John 8 vs 12 where Jesus said 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.' Niall will be giving our talk thinking about how the image of light is developed in the Old Testament and how the New Testament writers applied their conviction that Jesus really was who He said He was.

This Sunday morning we meet for our morning service at 11am (we pause our evening service format during the summer months). This week we begin a new series where we will be looking at a selection of the 'I am sayings' from John's gospel. In this series we have opportunity to hear Jesus in His own words as He takes us to the heart of who He is and what it means to believe in Him.

This week we are looking at John 6 vs 35:

'I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.'
