Presbyterian Church in Ireland

Presbyterian Church in Ireland The Presbyterian Church in Ireland is committed to bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ to people of all ages across Ireland and the wider world. Rev.

The Presbyterian form of Christian faith is best described as 'Reformed' with its strong emphasis on the Sovereignty of God, the Kingship of Christ and the authority of the Bible. Preaching the Word of God is central to Presbyterian worship services that are set amongst a mixture of prayer and praise. There is no fixed liturgy in Presbyterian services of worship. Prayers and hymns, psalms and paraphrases, Scripture readings and sermons are adapted to the needs of the occasion. The word 'Presbyterian' itself describes the form of Church government, which emphasises the individual and corporate responsibility of members. Ministers and members share in the organising and running of every aspect of the Church's work. In the Presbyterian Church in Ireland this is undertaken at three levels:

Congregational (local)
Presbytery (regional)
General Assembly (denominational)

The General Assembly is the highest decision-making body of the Church. One of its roles is to elect the Moderator, the chief public representative of the Church who serves for one year. The current Moderator is Rt. Dr. John Kirkpatrick. The Moderator, however, is not the ‘head of the church’. The Code, or constitution of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland clearly states that ‘The Lord Jesus Christ is the sole King and Head of the Church…’

The Presbyterian Church in Ireland has over 225,000 members who belong to 539 congregations. PCI is the largest Protestant denomination in Northern Ireland. The Church's administrative heart is Assembly Buildings, which is located at Fisherwick Place in Belfast.

⛪ General Council
As the normal schedule of meetings resumes, pray for internal meetings, such as the General Assembly Business Committee, under the leadership of its new convener, Rev Mark Neilly and external events such as the Irish Inter-Church Committee Meeting being held at the end of the week. Ask that God’s guiding and influence might be felt in each setting and wise decisions would be made.
📚 Training in Ministry
As the new College year commences, pray for the staff, students and residents in their various circumstances. Pray that the arrangements and planning that has already taken place will bear fruit in a harmonious community, where learning and serving together will take place. Pray for those commencing studies, especially those embarking on their studies for the ordained ministry of PCI.

Helping others find faith in later life

All the days of my life is a six session, light touch, evangelistic tool specifically designed for use with those in later life.

Walking participants through Psalm 23, it aims to bring to light an awareness of God’s presence throughout life as those who use it look back, then to gently facilitate a response of faith and trust in the Good Shepherd. It may be used individually, one to one, or in a range of small group settings in a church, residential facility or private home.

Copies cost £1.50 (euro equiv.) including postage and packaging and can be ordered here >>

🏥 Healthcare chaplaincy, Tallaght University Hospital, Rev Mark Proctor
Pray for the challenges in interacting with patients who speak little or no English, particularly for hospital staff, chaplains and those who find it distressing as they struggle to communicate. Give thanks for translators and translation apps that help everyone, including chaplains seeking to bring God’s comfort.
⛪ Drum, Cootehill and Kilmount, Rev Daryl Edwards
Please pray for the forthcoming harvest services over three weekends in September and October. As we give thanks for God’s faithfulness through another year, pray for engagement with our rural communities and for God to give the growth as his Word goes forth.

🇸🇸 Presbyterian Church of South Sudan (PCOSS)
Pray for the thousands of Presbyterians who, having lived at one time as urban refugees in Khartoum, then fled conflict to refugee camps in White Nile State. Pray that as they go about life in very confining, vulnerable circumstances, they would know adequate provision of food, accommodation and educational resources. Pray also for trauma healing and for God to strengthen their faith in the face of much adversity.

🚜 Moderator
This week the Moderator will be visiting the National Ploughing Championships event in Tullamore. Pray for him as he engages with various aspects of society; churches, charities, civic life, farming and businesses – that each encounter over the two days would be meaningful as the church is represented at the event.
🙇 Knowing the blessings of God in worship
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13. Ask that as you worship today you may know the blessings of God’s overflowing hope, joy and peace.
