What’s been happening…..
Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (WPCU) – 18-25 January 2012
In company with churches around the world, we came together for joint worship to mark the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, on 18th January. Our service was hosted this year by St Mary’s Star of the Sea Roman Catholic Church. Many thanks to all who helped to organise the service and refreshments afterwards. It was good to see both old friends and new faces.
Our Christmas parcels for Seafarers event was a great success! Many thanks to everyone who helped. Click on the link for pictures. Christmas parcels event 2011
Pause For Peace @ Ocean Terminal, Sunday 11th September 2011
Our short act of remembrance in Ocean Terminal for the 10th anniversary of 9/11 was attended by 40-50 people, and included a minute’s silence in the whole mall. We remembered all victims of terrorism and those working for peace. Several people told us afterwards that they had found it both moving and appropriate. Many thanks to the Ocean Terminal management and staff for their help in arranging this. For the order of service, click on the link. PAUSE FOR PEACE.
