Prayer Points: 

*At this Easter season, let us pray in the words of 1 Peter 1 v3

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who in His great mercy, has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”

Pray that He would enable us to reflect the joy and hope of Easter to family and friends.

*As we repent of our failures to please Him, give Him praise that His faithfulness is great and is not limited by our circumstances or our weakness.

Thank Him that His love never ceases, His mercies never end and are new every morning!

*Lift to Him, our worship opportunities as a church family this week:-

Palm Sunday all age service and all who take part and for the Rev. Noble speaking God’s message in the evening.

Good Friday communion service and fellowship with those in Trinity Boardmills.

May we be humbled, as our minds and spirits are renewed to live lives of compassion and service.

*Thank God for being with the Rev. Smyth as he preached the Gospel message this past week in Katesbridge and ask that He would nurture the seed sown and bring many into a personal relationship with Him.

*Pray for the GB and BB, that their annual displays would  be a witness to parents and friends about God’s love while also sharing about weekly activities.

Thank God for the energy and creativity of our leaders.

*As we look at our fractured world, ask God’s wisdom in how to pray for countries like Ukraine, Sudan and Haiti.

May the hope of Easter and the knowledge of God’s power enthuse us to pray that the plans of corrupt leaders and governments will fail and justice be restored.

General Announcements: 

  • YOUTH CLUB – Youth Club will be starting in 2 weeks time and we can’t wait! Jemma is on the look out for some resources if anyone has and would like to donate them to Youth Club.
    • If anyone has Nintendo Wii Games that they don’t use and would like to donate, please speak to Jemma after today’s service.
    • If anyone has any board games or card games, for example UNO and would like to donate those, again please speak to Jemma after the service.
  • CARRYDUFF PRIMARY SCHOOL SU VOLUNTEERS – We are all delighted that doors have opened in Carryduff Primary School and we have been invited in to run and develop a Scripture Union group for children in P5, 6&7.  The school do not have the capacity to provide anyone to come along and run or to help with the group.  Jemma will be the group coordinator; however, she absolutely needs others to get involved and help with the group.  It will be on a Friday afternoon from 3pm-4pm, in the school hall.  If you think you could help by coming a long and being another adult in the room and to support Jemma, she would really appreciate your help.  If you would like a role during the session, Jemma will also be happy to give you the materials and you can do that – or you can help with discussion groups and with the craft activities.   Again, this can be done on a rota basis and hopefully with the help of the other churches we can have a good group of volunteers on that rota. If you think you would be able to help with this please speak to Jemma ASAP.
