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.
