Invitation to the Ecumenical Prayer Service on care for Creation at Regina Pacis Catholic Church in Chawama Compound

Invitation to the Ecumenical Prayer Service on care for Creation at Regina Pacis Catholic Church in Chawama Compound

The three Church Mother Bodies namely; the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB), the Council of Churches in Zambia (CCZ) and the Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia (EFZ) have planned an ecumenical service – a day of a day of prayer for creation on 24th November, 2018 in Chawama Compound.

The theme of the service is ‘Walking Together in Caring for God’s Creation’. This service is aimed at raising awareness on the importance of caring for creation to prevent disasters that may result from uncaring attitude towards God’s creation that supports life. The service is timely and a reminder of the Cholera outbreak experienced early in the year, and therefore the need to care for the environment

We therefore write to cordially invite you to the said Ecumenical Church Service which will be held at 14:00hrs at Chawama Regina Pacis Parish. Attached below is the programme for your information.

For any further information, kindly get in touch with Fr. Boniface Sakala on +260972233806

Yours Sincerely,

Fr Cleophas Lungu (ZCCB SECRETARY GENERAL)

Fr Emmanuel Chikoya (CCZ GENERAL SECRETARY)

Rev. Pukuta Mwanza (EFZ EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR)
