Meeting Programme:
Prayer and Welcome - especially to new ALMA Reps joining us for the first time.
News Updates including 2008 Lent Appeal
Reflections on a First Visit: Chris Owens and Clare Rider from St Peter and St Paul Teddington will share reflections on their visit to Pemba.
As a Link Grows: Francesca Keating from St Mary’s Hampton will show us how the link between St Mary’s Hampton and Mandimba has grown in the last two years.
The ALMA 10th Anniversary Service: Archdeacon Rachel Treweek will guide us through the plans for the service and our role in it. A practical task too – for the meeting and to take to our parishes!
Brief chaplaincy /networking time
**If anyone could help with refreshments (manning teas/coffees and clearing up – there is a dishwasher!) on 24th please let me know asap. It’s a great way of getting to know other ALMA Reps.
3) Friday 25 April - Jubilee Debt Campaign Prayer and Fast Day for Angola
In the run up to World Debt Day on 18 May 2008, a day is devoted to each of the 36 countries still in need of debt relief.
If you are holding a vigil for Angola on the 25th, or praying within a daily service the fact sheet below, prepared by Kensington World Development Adviser, Fran Chandler, may be of use. Do register your event with JDC.
St Mary Magdalene, Littleton is open 12-1 for prayer and chain making. Are any other parishes marking this?
I hope to see as many of you as possible at the Reps meeting – if you cannot make it would you try to send another representative from your parish?
