Dear Cleenish Parish,
As a parish which has supported SAMS Ireland projects and mission trips, I would like to invite you to an online zoom series entitled 'A mission shaped heart'. SAMS Ireland Mission Development Officer Claire Holmes will be leading us through a teaching series on mission. The dates over the winter are:
Tuesday 7th Dec 8pm 'The Message'
Tuesday 18 Jan 8pm 'The People'
Tuesday 22 Feb 8pm 'The Messenger'
For some people, it will be many years since they had the experience of visiting the local church and seeing it in action in places such as Paraguay, Argentina, Chile or Peru. For many, these overseas mission trips will have had a profound effect on shaping one's view of mission and God's love for the whole world! For our part it has been a privilege to witness these things and be encouraged as our presence has encouraged the mission partners in these countries.
At SAMS, we believe that God provides these experiences for a purpose and a reason. Coming together online, or attending Friday night live at Craigavon Civic Centre on 4 Feb 2022, will be a way of thanking God and wondering together what God's call to mission looks like in these post pandemic times.
I do hope you will be able to encourage those who you think would like to participate in these mission teaching events. The Zoom link for the first meeting is: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84200968194?pwd=U3ZPN2Npand0dEJBcTA5YlZHenFDZz09
Blessings in Christ.
