First Antrim // Getting Back To Church
We have introduced 2 morning services, 10am and 11am to be able to safely facilitate our meeting together.
You can register your attendance via eventbrite:
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/first-antrim-presbyterian-church-31010666707
10am service // Majury Hall
This service will last 30mins. It is tailored for children and teenagers so effectively we are asking that if you have anyone within this age range living in your house you attend this service with them. It will focus on a short Bible talk as well as featuring other creative means one might encounter at a Holiday Bible Club.
11am service // Church Building
This service will last 40 mins. It will more or less follow the “Church at Home” format. There will be no children’s talk. If you do not have children or teenagers living in your house you must attend this service.
Attend only one service.
There will be no congregational singing at either service, but we will endeavour to provide some engagement with music-praise as part of worship.
It is strongly advised you wear a face-covering.
The 11am service will be livestreamed, so don’t worry if you are not in the position to physically attend. As this service will also be recorded those who attend the 10am service and who want a little bit more ‘in depth’ Bible teaching can so avail.
If for whatever reason the 10am service does not work for you, you may attend the 11am service but please be aware the service content will not include any specific engagement with children. Remember too that those who may fall into a more ‘vulnerable’ category might be present at 11am. However we are not encouraging a reciprocal arrangement: do not seek to attend the 10am service if there are no children or teenagers living in your house.
