Churches Together in Farnham
Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
18–25th January 2019
As in previous years, Churches Together in Farnham marked the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity by daily prayers during the week, with a Service of Christian Unity on Sunday 20th January 2019.
UNITED SERVICE ON SUNDAY 20TH JANUARY 2019
On the Sunday evening, around 60 Christians from churches across Farnham gathered for the annual Service of Christian Unity which was held this year at the church of St.Thomas-on-the-Bourne.
The service was led by the vicar of St.Thomas, Revd.John Morris, with assistance from Bob and Margaret Skinner from Weybourne Community Church, Beth Davenport from the Spire Church, Revd.Hannah Moore of Badshot Lea and Hale, and Michael McDonnell from the Catholic Church of St Joan.
The service material originated from the churches of Indonesia and the theme of the service, and of Revd.Morris’s address, was Justice.
During the service, congregation members were asked to write cards with a simple intention to contribute to justice in our world; these were then gathered up to see if ideas for collective initiatives might emerge in addition to the individual pledges.
A collection was taken for the work of the Wycliffe Bible Translators. The service was followed by an opportunity for networking between members of different churches over a fine array of refreshments.
