Christians Together joined for a dynamic ecumenical service on Sunday evening 22nd January. The service was held at Brixington Community Church and led by CTE Chair Simon Atkinson.

In the context of worship and prayer, we were encouraged by hearing about all the ways in which churches are working together in Exmouth to express faith in action: Open Door Café and Child Contact Centre, CAP (Christians Against Poverty) to help people become free of debt, Open Door ICE Team working in the Community College and the wider community, Open Door Nightshift helping to keep the streets safe at night, Healing on the Streets, the Glenorchy Work Club, and Youth Work across the town.

Fr Robert Sellers was the preacher, spoke about our choice of baked beans, showing us that while tastes may vary, every can, every church, has the same basic ingredient at its heart. We all in our different ways are intent on following Jesus. We celebrate our diversity whilst rejoicing in our unity.

Prayers were led by a number of people, praying for the church in Exmouth and beyond, for the town and its needs, and for church leaders in their tasks of helping Christians become strong in their faith, grow in unity and engage in mission in Exmouth.
