ON-LINE SERVICES VIA YOUTUBE:
During the Covid-19 Pandemic, we, like everyone else were closed. This meant that we conducted no Church Services during that time. In the interim we introduced VIDEOS (SEE BELOW) of services - from a sister 'Baptist based' church in Portugal) - actively supported/sometimes attended by 2 members of our church family.
These videos can be found on the Sermon Audio and Video tab - but since most people tend to come to the 'Events and UPDATES' page first - all those from 14 06 2020 onwards can be found below:
So - enjoy the worship - watch & listen to God's word from Joy Borgan.
(Joy is the Minister at the International Christian Fellowship - Portimao).
Joy has sent these YouTube links to be used on this website - and she is happy for them to be shared as you think appropriate.
N.B. SOME VIDEOS HAVE NOW BECOME 'UNAVAILABLE' - due to owners removing right to use them for copyright issues.
