St Mary's Church Upton
Making a difference, wherever we are, as we share Faith For Life in Christ
World Church
We encourage and co-ordinates support for several mission staff working in a variety of ways to share the good news about Jesus, expressing his compassion in practical ways, and practising and promoting his teaching on how to live.
Our links live on three continents and some have influence that extends even further.
The World Church Group stimulates interest in mission beyond the parish by:
- Arranging World Church Sundays and mission prayer meetings
- Publishing our Mission Links news sheet to inform prayer
- Providing updates for prayer in our weekly services and monthly church prayer meeting
- Supporting young people in short term overseas visits through the Roy Barker Young People in Mission Fund
- Supporting Home Groups who want to make a practical link with our missionaries
