Christians@Work - Monday


'Window on the World' is a week of sharing, learning and fellowship among Christians in the family of churches that make up the CWM (Council for World Mission) European Region. This includes two of our parent denominations at St David's Uniting Church - namely the United Reformed Church and the Presbyterian Church of Wales.

As a family we are by now seasoned Window on the World go-ers and it was good to be back once again at the Urdd Centre at Llangrannog for this year's conference on the theme 'Christians@Work'. Over a hundred people gathered, from toddlers to octogenarians, and coming from England, Scotland, Wales and from South Africa, Tuvalu, Singapore, Madagascar, Korea and Germany.

After settling in and eating supper, our first session was one of introductions and setting the scene. Daily, all-age worship will be lead throughout the week by Prince and Cheryl Dibeela. Both are ordained ministers of the United Congregational Church of Southern Africa and Prince is currently the Moderator of CWM. Worship was woven into the introductory session, along with activities to encourage people to mix and get to know one another.

Arrangements for the various children's groups that run in parallel with the main conference sessions were explained at a meeting for parents.

Finally Christians@play - evening entertainment of games, barn dancing for the young and the young at heart.
