Ladies, Friday 16th June 7.30-9.30 in the minor hall, we are launching Secret Sister for Portstewart Presbyterian Church..
Secret Sister is where you pledge to pray every day for a year, for another lady out of the church, though they will not know it’s you praying for them…thus SECRET sister.
This is a great opportunity for any women who attend or are connected to Portstewart Presbyterian Church, to get to know each other better, grow in their faith and have fellowship together.
On the secret sister night we will have fun, a yummy sweet supper (so come hungry) and a Fashion Me Perfect workshop, where you can learn how to work out what colours and shapes suit you best.
On that night you ll fill out a form giving your name, address, birthday (if you d like to) and prayer requests. These will be thrown into a hat and you pick one out, and that will be the lady who you will pray for. There will be a basket in the church foyer where you can leave cards or small gifts for your secret sister to encourage them through out the year. If you can make the night please let Helen Davies, HazelWalker or Wendy Porter know. If you can’t make the Friday night but would like to be part of Secret Sister, please let us know and we ll give u a form to fill out which can be included on the night.
We live in a world that is constantly changing, and for Christians we can be left wondering where we fit into this new reality. The book of Daniel helps us come to terms with a new culture and still remain faithful to God.
It was a special St Patricks Day 2023 for one member of Portstewart Presbyterian Church. Nan Hayes was delighted to receive a 100th Birthday Card from the King.
Born on the 17th March 1923, Nan has been a Portstewart girl all her life. She was from good farming stock, learning from an early age what it meant to work hard on the family farm. Nan enjoyed those farming days.
It’s incredible to imagine the changes Nan has witnessed over her 100 years. Even this method of congratulating and celebrating her 100 years was unthinkable until recently.
One thing that hasn’t changed over Nan’s 100 years is her faith. She remains very much a woman of faith in Jesus Christ. One of the highlights of the year is the visit to celebrate home communion with her.
Nan, thank you for your wisdom, your laughter and your prayers and many happy returns on such an incredible birthday.
Every Sunday we send Bertie the Bookworm home with a treasure hunter to read and learn whatever story our treasure hunters have been learning. These are the photographs of his adventures.
Mervyn was never one to be left out

Easter is almost upon us a time to switch off and hopefully enjoy some early spring sunshine with the family. Is that all Easter is? Another holiday, another opportunity to do something different?
At Portstewart Presbyterian Church Easter is about much more. Easter is a celebration of all that Jesus has done for us through his life, death and resurrection. Why not join us to hear and experience the Easter Story through our special services.
Just before the school holidays we welcomed the children of Portstewart Primary School into our halls for a special telling of the Easter story using the senses. Read more here
The theme for our Easter Services is Confidence, hope and power. On Palm Sunday we will think about the confidence we have in Jesus as our King and High Priest. When the children come into the service after Treasure Hunters we will have a special sensory telling of the Palm Sunday story.
On Good Fridaythe annual churches walk of witness begins at 11:00 am in the Harbour Hill Carpark. This is a wonderful opportunity to walk through the promenade stopping occasionally to hear the story of Jesus passion and death. Then at 7:30 in the church we will have our annual Good Friday Service. The sensory theme to Easter continues in this service as we celebrate Communion together.
It’s an early start on Easter Sunday as we meet on the Harbour Hill at 6:00am for the annual Dawn service before going to Burnside Presbyterian Church for a hearty breakfast.
At 10:30 our Easter Sunday Service will be a packed celebration of new life and resurrection power. The praise group will sing for us, girls from our GB will also sing King of Kings and we will will celebrate the sacrament of Baptism. A packed service full of life and joy and all the while our treasure hunters will still be available for any child of primary school age.
Come along to some or all and celebrate the story of Jesus wonderful grace offered to all.
The Christmas market in Portstewart Presbyterian Church was back with a bang this weekend. Crowds flocked to find a bargain and a seat to enjoy one of the hundreds of cups of tea and coffee sold on the day.
A big thank you to all who organised the hall and tables, the stall holders who came and made sure there was plenty of opportunity to browse and buy those all important gifts. Take time to view the gallery below to get a flavour of the day.
