On Friday, 22nd May there will be an Ecumenical Night Vigil in support of persecuted Christians
in the Middle East. Please support them with your presence for some, or all of the night, so that
we might all be united with them in communal prayer. We know there will be many reasons why
this might be difficult for you, but please, just consider that no more than a 4/5 hour flight from
your home there are people who are in fear of their lives, people who have lost everything
except their faith in God, the same faith that we profess in our lives. We must not be immune
to their Suffering and Sacrifice! Please see the notice boards for details of the programme
and a chart for you to mark your preferred Vigil times.
