Prayer Service for Kenya

At the request of Kinsale's "Peace Project", a Prayer service  for Kenya was held in the Methodist Church on Sunday, 6 January 2008. Around 30 people gathered and joined in prayers led by the clergy of the four Churches in the town.  
Padraig Fitzgerald, one of the organisers of the Peace Project  in Kinsale, received an e-mail from Bishop Desmond Tutu's office, expressing thanks for our prayers.  Bishop Tutu is involved in peace negotiations in Kenya.

Church Repairs & Refurbishment

Following an enthusiastic fund raising campaign which included a sponsored walk in Killarney National Park, a concert given by the Trinity Gospel Choir and a Christmas flower arranging demonstration, work was put in hand to refurbish and reseal the outside of the church and provide a kitchen area and running water in a room adjacent to the church.
