      Closure of Church Buildings

      Church buildings in Keswick and neighbourhood are currently closed for public worship in line with Government regulations. However the church hasn't closed and most churches are continuing with their existing online offering which can be accessed by their websites. A number of churches remain open for private individual prayer. We hope that church buildings can be reopened for public worship on 6 December 2020.

      International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church

      Many Christians around the world suffer for their faith daily. They are treated less favourably by authorities, punished for crimes they did not commit & struggle to meet for worship - if at all possible.

       

      The Bible calls us to pray for our Brothers & Sisters in faith (Hebrews 13:3), to remember them & to provide as we are able.

       

      This Sunday, 15th Nov 2020 is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church - so please visit the websites below, get informed & pray !

       

      You would also be welcome to join with others at this Sunday's IDOP service led by Christian Solidarity Worldwide, Open Doors, Release International & Evangelical Alliance - please register via this link

       

      There will be speakers from Africa, China & India - hope to see you there.

       

      Financial gifts are also welcome to help with Advocacy costs & writing letters year round which is of great encouragement to those who receive.

       

      If you would like a local contact, Anne B is an Ambassador for CSW in Keswick - you can contact her here
