A new song for Sunday
This Sunday we will be learning a song that is new to us as a congregation. Why not take a listen between now and Sunday to help us get the hang of it.
Lent in Portstewart
The first Sunday of Lent is 9th March. We celebrate Lent to create time and space in our lives to prepare for Easter. The Easter Story is at the very heart of the Christian Gospel. Easter tells the story of the ultimate sacrifice when the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world was slain so that all who believe may have eternal life.
Over the six Sundays in Lent as we prepare for Easter in Portstewart we will be thinking about Jesus I am sayings. We have called this series Jesus said, ‘I Am’. Our hope is that as we consider what Jesus said about himself that we would learn to trust in truth. Of course the greatest truth to trust is Jesus resurrection and incredible victory over death.
All to often Lent is reduced to giving up chocolate in today’s world. Why not use this time to do something much more meaningful. Come along to Portstewart Presbyterian Church for the 6 Sundays in lent at 10:30 am and who knows instead of learning to live without chocolate, we might learn what it is to live with Jesus.

Sunday’s in Portstewart
Over the coming Sunday’s we are reading and thinking about the book of Daniel. In 2023 we looked at the first 6 chapters of Daniel in a series we called the Confidence of Daniel.
In the remaining 6 chapters we are thinking about the Vision of Daniel. Daniel had a number of strange visions of animals and other strange creatures, all of which symbolise an earthly kingdom and how those kingdoms fall before the throne of God.
If you would like to come along and be part of worship in Portstewart, below is a list of who is preaching and when. Also included are the passages we will be reading from so as you can come prepared for each Sunday.
