New lockdown Restrictions for Northern Ireland were announced last week. Churches were not forced to close their doors by law, but we as a church have taken the decision to move our services online for the time being in order to protect our own people, and give assurance that we want to assist in the effort to contain the spread of the virus, and in no way want to add to the problem, nor to act irresponsibly in any way. The leadership team will continue to keep things under review, and will prayerfully make decisions as we feel God would lead us, and not simply be swayed by popular opinion or knee jerk reaction, or panic.
Usually our Minister, Calvin Coulter, preaches at most of our services.
He will explain things as we go along but the format is quite simple. We read from the Bible, sing some hymns (usually three or four), Calvin will pray and then he will speak for about half an hour. Services usually last just over an hour.
Tea and coffee are served after many of our services, and these are great opportunities to get to know one another, form and renew friendships, and ask those puzzling questions that have been buzzing around in our heads since mid-way through the sermon.
