Activities
Bible Study Groups
In Ballinderry we believe that God’s Word is first and foremost, and for that reason we try to give people a variety of opportunities to think about what God is saying to them through his word. Our three sessions provides an opportunity for men and women of all ages to meet together in friendly and welcoming settings, to study the Bible and discuss its relevance to our everyday lives. The Bible is God’s word to us, so by studying it we can get to know God better and can come to a fuller understanding of his plan for each of us.
There are three different groups that meet week to week:
-
- Ladies Bible Study – On Tuesday mornings in the church hall.
- Parish Bible Study – On Wednesday evenings, we meet as a Parish at 8pm via Zoom.
- Home group – On Thursday evenings, meeting face to face or sometimes on Zoom.
Why not join online or come to a meeting and find out for yourself? You will be made very welcome, we would love to see you.
Prayer Meeting
Every Sunday evening at 7.00pm
Everything we do as a congregation needs to be steeped in prayer, as we seek God’s will and God’s blessing on our contribution to his work.
We hold an online prayer meeting every Sunday evening from 7pm. This started during “lockdown” and has been a time of great blessing. If you would like to join this meeting, please contact us and we will email you the link.
Choir
The Choir lead the praise at Sunday Services and prepare anthems and special music for particular occasions such as Christmas, Easter and Harvest time.
The Choir is ably led by our organist and choir master Mr Robert Yarr BEM. Robert is always on the lookout for new members who will be made very welcome. Why not give it a try?
If you would be interested in joining the Choir or would like further details, please contact us.
