Groomsport Presbyterian Church

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

The church building will be closed for worship from 27th December 2020, until and including Sunday 24th January 2021.

The church will also be closed for Private Prayer from Wednesday 30th December 2020 until further notice.

Storehouse contributions may be left at the church building on Wednesdays commencing 6th January 2021, 10am – Noon.

We will continue to record a virtual service each week. The service will be uploaded to this page, every Sunday for 11.30am.

Please find below, an audio recording of this week’s service and a video children’s talk.

These have been specifically recorded for members of Groomsport Presbyterian Church. However, we pray that it will be of blessing to all who choose to listen in. The musical items in the service were recorded at worship services in the past but all other parts were recorded just a few days before uploading to this website (Hymn numbers refer to the Irish Presbyterian Hymn Book)..

Mission In Groomsport Presbyterian

The Mission Committee has been reviewing the various projects that we had hoped to support this year.
Following approval by session, our supported projects have received donations from Groomsport Presbyterian Church. We have also sent donations to ‘Storehouse North Down’ and ‘Hope Christian Trust’ that supports a Christian school in Gaza. Please remember the work of the mission committee and the projects run by our partner organisations in your prayers. Thank you.
