The Dominica Christian Union Church commemorated 82 years of ministry this year and held its 60th District Council on April 18 and 19 at the Public Service Union Building.
The District Council, the Church’s highest decision making body, was attended by delegates from its 15 member-churches across the island.
This year’s Council focused on the theme “Hitherto Hath The Lord Helped Us”, I Sam. 7: 12; and over the two days, delegates focused on the ways God has provided reliable help in the past and will examine the challenges and opportunities for the Church’s ministry now and in the future.
The two day meeting culminated with a Grand Worship Celebration on Good Friday at the Goodwill Christian Union Church.
Bishop Lennox Timothy is the District Superintendent of the Christian Union Church. In the the audio clip below, he talks about today’s activity at the Botanic Gardens.
Under the leadership of Pastor Ned Prince, the Church was striving well.
But now, things have changed, sin reigning in the camps and the results, the church is being stagnant.
I don’t understand y it is called the first. Before every year during Easter there was this zonal competition etc . The churches always met for fun etc. They haven’t done it for so long that it seems new but it’s not. Stop being too show too flam. Make it a yearly thing as it was u all took too long to bring it back. But I am glad.
