Carol Service Highlights
If you enjoyed the choir and the praise band at our Carol Service then why not enjoy them again with the highlights below.
Christmas Tree Festival
This Saturday brings our Christmas Tree festival to a close. If you haven’t been able to see round the trees here is a quick tour of what you have been missing.
The closing of the festival doesn’t bring our Christmas celebrations to a close. There is still a lot of reasons to visit Portstewart Presbyterian this Christmas. Our Nativity Service is on Sunday 15th at 10:30 am. Our Christmas Party is on Saturday 14th at 6:30 and the annual Carol Service is on Sunday 22nd at 6:30 pm and of course Christmas Morning at 10:00 am.
Do come along and celebrate Christmas with us this year.
Christmas in Portstewart
Christmas is about much more than parties and trees, it is about the birth of a saviour. There are lots of opportunities in Portstewart to take time and reflect on this incredible miracle of advent. As well as our normal Sunday morning services our nativity service will be on Sunday 15th December at 10:30 and our carol service the 22nd December at 6:30 pm. Of course Christmas wouldn’t be the same without our Christmas morning service at 10:00 am.
Our Christmas Tree festival has been extended for another day. You can still come and see the trees on Saturday 14th December between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm. This really will be the last chance to see the colour and sparkle of all the trees so do make sure you come along.
The celebrations continue even after the tree festival closes. On Saturday evening our family Christmas Party takes place in the church hall. Eternity Socials will provide the party atmosphere and Crafts for Christ will be there to help us make those last minute Christmas decorations. Who knows, maybe we will have the odd special visitor calling in as well.
Why not come along and join us at some or all of what is on offer. Christmas is a truly wonderful time of the year, make it even more special this year by reflecting of the true reason we celebrate.
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.
