Additional Announcements

Tonight Stephen starts a new series on the book of Habakkuk entitled ‘Is God really good?’ Please come back and join together at 6:30pm. Tea and Coffee to follow.

This Tuesday night is the Equip meeting in 1st Ahoghill at 7:30pm. This month the topic is ‘Who Jesus died for’, and the speaker is Rev Stephen Kennedy from Buckna.

Kells Inbetweeners (anyone in their 30’s-50’s) are going to kick off 2026 with a ‘bring and share’ lunch after the morning service on the 1st Feb. We would love to see you all there for some tasty food and a chance to catch up with one another. There will be activities for the children to do. If you have any questions, please speak to Lynda Little.

Our half night of prayer is taking place on Fri 6th February from 8pm-12 midnight. Please keep this evening free to come along for part or all of the evening. The theme this year is ‘Jesus said, “ALL power has been given to me in heaven and on earth…”’ This is always a great night, and it is so important for our congregation that we devote time to prayer.

The Elders would like to better use the time before the morning service to give greater opportunities for prayer and fellowship. The plan is that the Sunday morning prayer meeting will move to 10:45am to coincide with the start of Sunday School and Bible Class.  Then there will be tea and coffee from 11:15. You are welcome to attend the prayer meeting or just come for some fellowship over a cuppa.  To make this happen, we need volunteers for tea and coffee. If you can help in this way, please sign up on the sheets at the front and back or speak to Carolyn or Stephen.
