Groomsport Presbyterian Church

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

The church building will be closed for services of worship and private prayer until further notice.

Storehouse contributions may still be left at the church building on Wednesdays 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)..
