Easter is one of the most important seasons in the Christian calendar. There are lots of opportunities to be part of these celebrations this Easter in Portstewart.
Sunday 13th April is Palm Sunday. Our service in Portstewart begins at 10:30 am and we will be thinking about who the people were welcoming into Jerusalem that first Palm Sunday. Who do we believe Jesus is? We will be reading from John 14: 1-6 when Jesus said I am the way and the truth and the life.
Good Friday is the day we remember just how much Jesus has done for us. The day begins with a walk of witness. We meet with other local churches on the Harbour Hill at 11:00 am before walking along the Promenade stopping to read the crucifixion story along the way.
At 7:30 our Good Friday celebrations continue as we meet in the church for a communion service. We remember Jesus command to remember. All are welcome to join us in this moving and significant time together.
Easter Sunday begins with a dawn service at 6:00 am on the Harbour Hill. We meet with our brothers and sisters from Portstewart Baptist Church and Burnside Presbyterian Church to welcome the dawn of a day filled with hope.
The culmination of our Easter celebrations is the Easter Morning Service in Portstewart Presbyterian Church at 10:30 am. It is a morning when the church is filled with our own members along with people who have come to Portstewart on holiday. This makes for a wonderful celebration with a full church and incredible singing. Why not come along and join us this Easter as we declare together that Christ is Risen.
