Sister Martha McKinney's funeral service will be held on Monday 20th November in Wilton Funeral Home, 334 Ravenhill Road, Belfast, BT6 8GL at 2.15pm.

Beyond the sunset, O glad reunion,
With our dear loved ones, Who've gone before;
In that fair homeland, We'll know no parting,
Beyond the sunset, For evermore!

We are in sorrow at the passing of our beloved friend and sister Martha McKinney. Our love and prayers are with her family and friends. May the words of the hymn writer, which form part of Martha's precious testimony bring you comfort:

Oh, when the saints go marching in
Oh, when the saints go marching in
I'm going to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

When the new world is revealed
Oh When the new world is revealed
I'm going to be in that number
When the new world is revealed

When they march around God's Throne
When they march around God's Throne
I'm going to be in that number
When they march around God's Throne

When they crown Him Lord of Lords
When they crown Him Lord of Lords
I'm going to be in that number
When they crown Him Lord of Lords

And on that Hallelujah Day
And on that Hallelujah Day
I'm going to be in that number
On that Hallelujah Day

Oh, when the saints go marching in
Oh, when the saints go marching in
I'm going to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

We are saddened to hear our friend and brother Tommy Beattie has passed on. May the Lord comfort his family and friends in this time of great sorrow. May the words of the hymn writer bring you comfort:

When a million years have passed in that wonderful place
My song of praise will just have begun
Any my song will never end
While I look on His face
And my song will never be done

And while the ages roll
I’ll keep on praising Him
And my voice will never tire or grow old
And my song shall ever be
Praise the Lamb who died for me
And I’ll sing it while ages shall roll

Celebrating the Passing of Dear Friends

Thank You Lord for the joy in sharing our lives, our witness and testimonies with our friends who have now journeyed
home to be with you.

Brother David Cardwell, John Mcafee, Brian Geary, Sister Rebecca Cardwell, Brothers Jackie Donaldson and Jim Beven.

Thank you Father that each and everyone could testify with confidence the words of the hymn writer who wrote:

I'm saved to the uttermost, I know that I am
Washed in the blood of the Precious Lamb
Thru the Father, thru the Son, thru the Holy Ghost
I'm saved to the uttermost

Our Love and Prayers remain with all their families and friends!

ISN'T THE LOVE OF JESUS SOMETHING WONDERFUL!!!

KEEP FAITH - SOON WE WILL ALL ONCE AGAIN STAND TOGETHER

1 Thessalonians 5:16 - 22
Rejoice evermore.
Pray without ceasing.
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Quench not the Spirit.
Despise not prophesyings.
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
Abstain from all appearance of evil.

There will never be a sweeter story, Story of the Saviour's love divine.Worship from Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle, Belfast: Recorded 23rd March 2008

Merry Christmas Everyone!

As we approach Christmas Eve please remember that this year there is no service on Christmas Day morning. However, there will be a service at 8pm on Christmas Eve.

On Sunday the 27th December our Lord's Day morning Breaking of Bread Communion service will take place at 11am. Due to the Northern Ireland Executive's curfew on the approach to New Years Eve the church will not hold a Sunday evening service.

Again, there will be no watch night service on New Year's Eve due to these restrictions.

Services will be back to normal on Sunday the 3rd January with an 11am and 7pm service.

Luke 2:13-14
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Keep Faithful, Keep Blessed & Keep One Another In Prayer!

1 Corinthians 13 (J.B. Phillips New Testament)

1-3 If I speak with the eloquence of men and of angels, but have no love, I become no more than blaring brass or crashing cymbal. If I have the gift of foretelling the future and hold in my mind not only all human knowledge but the very secrets of God, and if I also have that absolute faith which can move mountains, but have no love, I amount to nothing at all. If I dispose of all that I possess, yes, even if I give my own body to be burned, but have no love, I achieve precisely nothing.

4 This love of which I speak is slow to lose patience—it looks for a way of being constructive. It is not possessive: it is neither anxious to impress nor does it cherish inflated ideas of its own importance.

5-6 Love has good manners and does not pursue selfish advantage. It is not touchy. It does not keep account of evil or gloat over the wickedness of other people. On the contrary, it is glad with all good men when truth prevails.

7-8a Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. It is, in fact, the one thing that still stands when all else has fallen.

On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the glory of his resurrection share;
When his chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.
