What’s on in Portstewart this Easter

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 Friday the 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.

Christmas in Portstewart

Christmas in Portstewart

There is a lot going on in Portstewart this Christmas. It all begins on Saturday 26th of November from 10:30 – 13:30 when the Christmas Market returns to our halls for the first time since the Covid pandemic struck.

Why not come along and sample the wonderful traybakes, cakes and incredible variety of craft stalls. More than a few Christmas presents can be sourced and all under the one roof.

Sunday the 4th December is the annual Salvation Army toy appeal. Bring a toy labelled for a boy or girl and leave it under the church Christmas tree. That sense of Christian community continues on Monday the 5th of December when the local churches come together for community carol singing. We meet at 6:30 in Burnside Presbyterian Church carpark before singing at the local folds and sheltered housing.

Then on Sunday 11th December our brothers and sisters in Burnside Presbyterian church are holding a drive in Carol service in their church carpark. A novel way for us all to come together and hear the Christmas story. Our own carol service will be on the 18th December at 6:30. This service will involve many of our own members, a choir which is coming together especially for the occasion. All of this with the unique Christmas atmosphere as we worship by candlelight

Our young people from GB, Glow Club and Treasure Hunters will all be coming together to tell the nativity service on the morning of the 18th. Two services not to be missed.

We will again be hosting the primary school carol service on the 16th December. All of this as well as our Christmas morning service and it really is a time to celebrate this Christmas time. Why not make plans to come to one or more of the events this Christmas.
