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.'

This Sunday morning we meet for our morning service at 11am (we pause our evening service format during the summer months).

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.'
