St Andrew’s plays a part in the 2024 Provincial Youth Conference


The 2024 Provincial Youth Conference (Anglican Province of Jerusalem and the Muddle East) kicks off in Famagusta on Monday (26 August) and will be coming to St Andrew’s on Tuesday 27th.
Members of our church community are most welcome to join participants at St Andrew’s for any part of  Tuesday’s programme:

Arrive at St Andrew’s.
10:00 Holy Communion – lead by Fr Nael Abu Rahmoun, the Vicar of Nazareth
11:30 Presentation on the Social Concerns work of the Diocese – Revd Anne Futcher
13:15 Lunch – in the church hall.
& Free time for participants to visit the harbour, etc
15:00 Departure to Nicosia

The conferees draws together around 30 participants from the Diocese of Jerusalem, and of Cyprus and the Gulf. It is the second such event to be held in the Province, following last year’s conference in the Jordanian town of Rafah.
The conference theme—Under the Tent of Abraham and Sarah: Rethinking Mission for Young Leaders in the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East—will shape a week of sharing, worship and learning.

“At a time when so many in the region are in despair, it is more important than ever that young people are able to come together to draw strength and share in the joy of Christ,” said Bishop Sean.

The conference programme includes sessions led by the Reverend Canon Dr Peniel Rajkumar of USPG, as well as talks, group discussion, and visits to points of interest across the divided island—and opportunities for reflection and prayer. St Andrew’s and St Mark’s Famagusta will host services of Holy Communion.
