CMS Ireland Annual Project to be launched in Clogher Diocese

St Macartin’s Cathedral Hall, Enniskillen will play host to CMS Ireland’s 2012 Annual Project Presentation on Sunday 19th February at 3.30pm.   

CMS Ireland’s Annual Project is a specially produced resource for Sunday Schools and youth groups. It is designed to help children and young people discover something about life, faith and mission in a different part of the world. Each year, the project highlights the story of one of CMS Ireland’s Global Partners and uses age–appropriate activities to share key biblical principles for mission.

Last year, 17 parishes from Clogher Diocese took part in the Annual Project, Living Stones: Building Church in Burundi, which has raised over £23,500 for church building and clergy training in Burundi.

This year’s project is called The Beautiful Gate and focuses on the worship and ministry of SD Church in Nepal, using the central themes of ‘Loving God’ and ‘Loving Others’. The resource pack includes a Leader’s Guide, a DVD, age–specific workbooks and stickers. Pencils and Nepali keyrings are also available to purchase.

Sunday’s launch in Enniskillen provides an opportunity for local parishes to get together and hear a little bit more about the project and how they can get involved. Ronnie Briggs, CMS Ireland Mission Director will host the event and present the project to those who attend.
