Prayer
Prayer is vital for the life of our church and we would love you to join any of our prayer ministries, whether it be praying over Donaghadee, praying over imPrint or praying with our Prayer & Bible Study Group. For all these groups you can come and go as you wish. If you have any prayer requests you can email them to prayer@shorestreet.org or leave them in the new Prayer Request box at the
front door. (Table beside window) These will be passed to the prayer team on a weekly basis. Adult Ministry
CHRISTMAS HAMPERS A huge thank you to everyone who donated, packed and delivered our hampers. We want you to know that the people who received these were so appreciative, more than we can realise – this small act of kindness made a real difference. Thank you for being a BIG part.
These ministries will all re-commence in the new year – details to follow. imPrint – Our Youth & Children’s Ministries

All organisation accounts for 2013 (signed and audited) are to be with the Treasurer by Sunday 12th January 2014. Due to a change in the way accounts are to be presented these can not be emailed. Please ensure that the opening balance for 2013 is the same as the closing balance for 2012. Thank you so much for your help.

Many you have already given thoughtfully and generously to the Moderator’s Appeal to help the people in the Philippines and we so appreciate that… This Appeal … Let Justice Flow … is our normal Christmas Appeal for 2013 and if you feel that you can support this then that would be fantastic. We don’t want anyone to feel pressurised as we recognise there are so many demands on people these days. It is always a privilege to share with the poorest people of our world, many of them women and children. All we ever ask is that you pray, ask GOD what He wants and then do His will. Thank you once again. We appreciate all your love and kindness… It is so like JESUS … isn’t it? Next Blood Donation service Tues 31st December in 1st Presbyterian Church halls from 9:45am-3:30pm. Blood supplies are needed and it’s a great way to help others…
Shore Street Presbyterian Church family ‘Welcome’… We so love having you here. We long for GOD to speak and work quietly but quite powerfully in your life to-day…That would be amazing!!
