Come&C Dun Laoghaire Will Celebrate Churches Working Together to Serve Their Community
The next Come&C Songs of Praise Service takes place in Christ Church, Dun Laoghaire, on Sunday May 29 at 7.00 pm. The theme of this service will be “To transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and pursue peace and reconciliation”, based on the Fourth Mark of Mission of the Anglican Communion.
The service is part of the diocesan programme of services built around the Five Marks of Mission of the Anglican Communion which have been taking place around the dioceses during Dublin and Glendalough’s Year of Come&C.
The location for this service, which will celebrate churches working together to serve the community, is fitting as Christ Church Dun Laoghaire and their Vicar, the Revd Ása Bjork Ólafsdóttir, established The Dining Room in the Parish Hall. The Dining Room is an inter–Church venture, serving the homeless, the poor, the elderly and the lonely. Now based in the nearby Dun Laoghaire Evangelical Church, they serve hot meals on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Donations of non–perishable food items including pasta, rice, sugar, tea and tinned vegetables and fruit (particularly tomatoes) will be gratefully received for The Dining Room at the service.
Come&C how churches in one area are working to transform unjust structures in society.
