Serving God in the heart of our community since 1881

St Andrew's Church, Taunton

Join us for the Taunton Churches Together service to celebrate the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

Sunday 21 January 2007, 6.30pm in church

The annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity begins on the Thursday, January 18 and concludes Thursday, January 25.

The Week of Prayer, which has been held each year since 1908, is an opportunity for Christians to repeat the prayer of Jesus that "all may be one." This year’s theme has its origins in the experience of Christian communities in the South African region of Umlazi, near Durban. A legacy of racism, unemployment and poverty continues to raise formidable challenges for its people, where there is still a shortage of schools, medical clinics and adequate housing.

Our service will be led by Katharine Smith, Reader at St Andrew's, and the preacher will be Revd Debbie Borda of Rowbarton Methodist Church. The service will include participation from members of churches across the town. We pray that our brothers and sisters from all churches in the area will be able to join us at St. Andrew's for this special service, and we look forward to welcoming you all.
