PALM SUNDAY CALL TO PRAYER      #ACallToPrayIreland #ACTPI

The simple call behind this initiative is to get as many people as possible across the island of Ireland to pray together, at the same time, during this time of great need. The call has gone out for us to do this together from 3pm to 4pm this Sunday 5^th April.

We would like to encourage everyone who is able to kneel down in an act of humility during the last 10 minutes. We want the heart and climax of this prayer time to be when we all kneel, in our homes, at 3.50pm.

To help do this at home there are two complimentary resources offered: 1. From the Moderator - including some interesing family activites! Click here   1. Evangelical Alliance  Click here

STEWARDSHIP & GIVING

Giving by FWO envelope is not currently available for most people. Now may be the time to consider subscribing by standing order. Click here for a copy of the form giving details you will need to set up a standing order with your bank. Be sure to use a name and FWO number as the reference for the transaction e.g. "McClure123". It would also be helpful if you completed the form and returned it to the Church Office. In the current crisis this means of giving is a great way of ensuring the continuation of the work, witness and upkeep of our congregation.
