For Such A Time

Paul and Jean attended a day at Westminster aimed at celebrating all that God has done through the New Church movement over the last 40 years in the UK. As well as celebrating what had happened in the past the day looked ahead to the new things God is doing in the UK. Those church leaders present committed to supporting one another through these new initiatives.

The prayer declaration below sums up the day and a full audio recoding can be accessed here.
