Crumlin Churches are coming together

The service which is taking place at St. John’s Church (Church of Ireland) in Main Street, Crumlin on Sunday 1st August at 6.30pm will be open to all in the local community and beyond. This service marks the fourth occassion in the last two years that ministers and congregations from the local Anglican, Non-Subscribing Presbyterian, Moravian, Methodist, Presbyterian and Roman Catholic congregations will come together for worship and fellowship.

There will be a special offertory collection during the service which will be donated to the Aquaculture without Frontiers (UK), a registered charity which is active in some of the most deprived areas of the world. Aquaculture without Frontiers (AwF) Director and Crumlin Minister, Rev. Dr. Scott Peddie said: ‘As an independent non-profit organisations with no paid staff, AwF relies on the generous donations of individuals and organisations to continue its work overseas. Without such generosity we would have been unable to successfully complete a diverse range of projects in Bangladesh, Ghana, Liberia, Guyana, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Malawi, Nepal, Papua New Guinea and Thailand.”

Dr. Peddie continued “For AwF, every penny counts in the fight against poverty and our aim of helping people in the most disadvantaged communities to help themselves out of poverty via food production. It is particularly fitting that the Crumlin community will be coming together to celebrate all that they have in common whilst also helping others in deprived communities many thousands of miles away.”
