Congratulations Rebecca and Jeff
What a pleasure to be part of Rebecca and Jeff’s wedding. Wishing you God’s richest blessing on your life together.
Grace
This Sunday our theme in Established was God’s grace. We used Ephesians 2:8-9 to explore what grace means and how that grace is received by us. What an incredible privilege to have so many young people in the manse to talk about these things. If you haven’t been to established yet then why not come along to the manse on Sunday 13th October at 6:30 pm…. Michelle might even bring some more cookies with her!

Established
Is a new gathering for young people in year 8 and above. The one thing young people and the rest of us have in common is that they want to establish a place in this world for themselves, and we want to see them established.
Is a place where our young people will have the opportunity to explore scripture and their place within the church in a way that enables them to become established as they plot their course through the rest of life.
meets in the Centenary room which is in the main church building on Enfield Street from 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month On a 5th Sunday in the month we will go out do something different. Click on the logo to find out more.
Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Hutchinson
Michelle, our Youth and Family worker, married Richard Hutchinson last week. We wish Richard and Michelle God’s richest blessing.
Acts – The church on fire for Jesus
This September in Portstewart Presbyterian Church we will be spending time thinking about the book of Acts. In Acts we read about the church being born, almost like a baby fawn as it takes its first shaky steps into the world. In Acts the disciples had to get used to Jesus been raised from the dead and then deal with the mixed emotions of watching him ascend into heaven.
Find all the sermons on Acts here.
This new church seemed to be incredibly vulnerable in those early days as it waited for the promised Holy Spirit and dealt with persecution from both the Roman and Jewish authorities. Despite such vulnerability the church not only survived but it grew and it did this with incredible displays of power and resilience.
As we read the book of Acts we are left wondering, what has changed? Why does the church look so different today?
- Sunday 1st September: Acts 1: 1-11 – Stuart Morrow
- Sunday 8th September Acts 1: 12-26 – Stuart Morrow
- Sunday 15th September Acts 2: 1-13 – Stuart Morrow
- Sunday 22nd September Acts 2: 14-41 – Stanley Stewart
- Sunday 6th October Acts 2: 42-47; 4: 32-37 – Stuart Morrow
Why not come along and join us as we seek to become more like the church in Acts – a church on fire for Jesus. It doesn’t matter if you are a member of the church, or maybe you have benefitted from the church in the past, or you just want to know more about what it means to be part of a church, you will be most welcome.
We will be learning some new songs in September some of which you can familiarise yourself with below.
