Easter Community Prayer Walk – Praying for Gospel Hope in Our City

As we journey through Holy Week and prepare to celebrate the risen Christ, we invite you to join us for a special Easter Community Prayer Walk on Tuesday 15th April. We will gather at 6:30pm at the Salvation Army, York Street, and finish around 8:00pm at Alexandra Presbyterian Church. Along the way, we will stop at several local churches and key community sites in Tiger’s Bay and Mountcollyer, lifting our city in prayer.

This prayer walk is an expression of Gospel partnership — a visible sign that we are one body in Christ, united not by tradition or denomination, but by the shared hope of the resurrection. It is our desire to walk humbly, pray fervently, and proclaim Christ clearly in the heart of North Belfast.

As we walk and pray, we will be interceding for the people who live, work, and worship in our neighbourhood. We will pray for schools, families, frontline workers, those struggling with addiction or loneliness, and those in positions of leadership. We long to see lives transformed by the grace of God, and communities renewed by the love of Jesus.

The Church exists not for itself, but as a witness to the world — a signpost to the kingdom of God. In a time when many feel divided or discouraged, this is an opportunity for believers from different congregations to stand together, not in uniformity but in unity, declaring that Jesus is Lord and that His light shines in the darkness.

We warmly encourage you to come, to bring friends or members of your fellowship, and to walk with us as we seek the peace and good of the city (Jeremiah 29:7). May our feet carry the Good News, and our prayers prepare the ground for Gospel fruit in the days to come.

“And how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” – Romans 10:15

SPB Sermons || Sent Like the Son || JOhn 20:19-23

Sent Like the Son – Family Worship at SPB Belfast (Sunday 27th April 2025) On the evening of Easter Sunday, as fear gripped the disciples behind locked doors, Jesus appeared among them and spoke the words they most needed to hear: "Peace be with you." At St Paul’s & St Barnabas this Sunday, we reflected on John 20:19-31 and the incredible transformation that the resurrection brings — not just to history, but to our hearts and lives today. We joined the disciples in their fear and doubt, seeing how even the testimony of Mary Magdalene couldn’t unlock their fear. Yet no locked door could keep out the risen Christ. Jesus appeared, scars and all, speaking peace into their brokenness. His scars weren't signs of defeat, but emblems of the victory won at the Cross — a reminder that by His wounds, we are healed. Jesus did not come to rebuke His followers, but to comfort them with His presence, speak peace into their hearts, and to co...

This Is the Hour – Join Us for Holy Week 2025 at St Paul’s & St Barnabas

This Is the Hour – Join Us for Holy Week 2025 at St Paul’s & St Barnabas, Belfast As we journey toward Easter this year at St Paul’s & St Barnabas in North Belfast, we invite you to take part in our Holy Week services under the theme “This Is the Hour.” This powerful phrase comes from John’s Gospel, where Jesus speaks of the appointed time—the hour—for which He came into the world. From Gethsemane to glory, Jesus moves with divine purpose toward the cross and the empty tomb. We are invited to walk with Him in that hour: to sit in the sorrow of betrayal, to receive the grace of service, to stand at the foot of the cross, and to rejoice at the dawn of resurrection. Our Holy Week reflections will follow the Gospel of John, focusing each evening on a key moment in Jesus’ journey. All services begin at 7:30 pm , and we warmly welcome you to come just as you are. Tuesday 15th April – 6:30pm Easter Community Prayer Walk Meeting at Salv...

SPB Sermons || The King Has Come || Palm Sunday || Luke 19:28-40

The King Has Come – Palm Sunday at SPB The King Has Come – Palm Sunday at SPB On Palm Sunday, we stepped into Luke 19:28–40 and into the streets of a city full of noise, tension, and expectation. It was Jerusalem then — it is Belfast now. In his sermon, Rev. Andrew Irwin reminded us that the King we proclaim is not the kind we expect. He doesn’t ride in with fanfare or force but with humility, peace, and purpose. The city of Jerusalem was packed to the brim. The great Passover celebration was at hand, and the people of God were remembering a story of freedom and rescue while still living under Roman occupation. The air was thick with anticipation. Into that atmosphere, Jesus rides — on a donkey. Not a war horse. Not with soldiers. But with disciples and borrowed cloaks. As the crowd shouts praise and throws their coats on the road, we’re reminded that they had the right words — “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” —...
