So, a new year begins, and with it the reminder of the many things that bind the different Christian churches together which is provided by the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, always held from 18-25 January. During the week, the churches of Churchdown and Innsworth especially invite members of the other churches – and everyone else as well - to join them at one or more of their services, as an encouragement to that working together which we try to ensure is going on all the time. This year, the very first day of the Week of Prayer will see a service led by the children of St Mary’s School at Our Lady’s Church, which should be a lovely occasion, not forgetting that Jesus taught us to learn from children, who often have such a fresh and straightforward approach. The services each day will be as follows:
Please do come and join us at any of these services. Another reminder of the things that link the churches, not just across the denominations but across the world, is the Women’s World Day of Prayer, which this year will be hosted by St John’s Church on Friday 2 March at 10am. This will be followed by light refreshments in the Church Hall. The service has been prepared by the women of Malaysia and the theme, on which one of the local clergy will speak, is ‘Let Justice Prevail’. All are very welcome – men as well as women!
