It was led by the Circuit Missions Committee, and the address was given by Deacon Ruth Hinch.

The theme of the service was ‘Making a Difference,’ the premise being that when a creature as small as a butterfly flaps its wings on one side of the world, this will have a tiny, yet definite effect, eventually, on the other side of the world. This is known as ‘The Butterfly Effect.’

Various examples of small changes producing small but important improvements in peoples’ circumstances were given.

Each member of the congregation was given a paper butterfly, and an opportunity to write on it a prayer for change, which he or she would like to see. These were offered to God.  

You may be interested in the prayers offered: 32% were for change in Zimbabwe 24% were for peace in Israel & Palestine 11% were for relief of oppression in Tibet 11% were for China, and the freedom of its people. Remaining prayers were for: - Iran England The whole world Burma India Iraq Africa, especially Darfur and Nigeria America The Philippines

The Circuit Missions committee would like to express its thanks to Ruth Hinch for speaking eloquently on the subject, to Concordia and Thelma Lappage for the music provided, and to members of Christ Church for the drama: - so simple and so well done.

Thank you, too, to anyone who took part, - it was truly a Circuit effort.

The money raised, amount not known as I write this, - will surely make a difference.
