About First Comber
Welcome to the social hub for First Comber Presbyterian Church. Here we'll do our best to keep you updated on the latest news and events from Church.
First Comber Description
A bit like us, our story is not complicated. We're a community of everyday people who want to follow Jesus, His message and His example.
We have lots going on for everyone. Whether you’re a family, single, very young, or not so young – you will find something to help you feel a part of God’s family here.
As well as fun, we enjoy looking after each other - particularly through prayer.
Our Sunday Service is a genuine blend of both contemporary and traditional. Our worship band, choir, children’s church and talks endeavour to engage everyone and enhance our worship of God.
We strive to be, but probably do not always get it right: friendly, loving, accepting and supportive, so that people will be drawn to Jesus and His name honoured.
First Comber isn't just about Sundays. So whether it's 5-a-side, Girls Brigade or Boys Brigade, Mums and Tots, Hill Walking, Life-Groups, Prayer Meetings or Golf we have somewhere you can start your First Comber adventure.
Feel free to contact Claire in the office if you have any questions at all.
Reviews
As we approach Easter how about considering doing something differently? How about doing just one new, simple act of generosity. That would mean 100s of acts of love and kindness in Comber alone. What hope could that bring to someone, what a difference that one act could make, what a moment for the love of Jesus to be seen in a real way.
In the run up to Easter we’ll be sharing a number of the resources from the 40 acts project to hopefully inspire us all.
Lots of stories and photos to share from our church weekend away but here’s our ‘family’ photo filled with its fair share of personalities! Amazing weekend of faith, fellowship and family!
Church weekend this weekend at Whitepark Bay. Please pray that everyone involved has an amazing, fun-filled and God-filled weekend! Apparently violet’s on the pancakes tonight so we’re getting off to a great start!
UPDATE ON BABY CECILY:-
Cecily died this morning. She is safe in Jesus’ arms now. Please continue to pray for Owen, Victoria and the family at this time. Thank you all for committing to pray for Cecily these past 11 months. The family have appreciated this support.
PLEASE PRAY FOR CECILY
Update on baby Cecily Blair:-
Cecily is back in the Ulster Hospital. She has a very serious virus and is in need of air having to be put into her lungs and she is also receiving sugared water to keep her energy levels up. Pray for healing please.
Please pray for Gary Boyd’s dad, Alan. Alan has gone through a very serious surgery today and has still to be put into the recovery unit. Give thanks to God for the success of the operation and pray that Alan would begin to recover and heal. Remember Gary’s family in prayer too please that they would all know God’s comfort and closeness to them at this time of uncertainty.
Today Grant talked about making a difference in Comber.
He mentioned three ideas:
1. Praying for Comber and what’s going on here ... 2. A workshop on sharing our faith in the modern world without getting fired 3. Starting an Alpha course
If you’re interested in being part of the discussions or simply think they are good idea then BE AN ENCOURAGER and send Grant a message of support.
