At our All Age Communion service for Trinity Sunday this morning, we were very fortunate to welcome Peta Moffat who is the Mara Link Officer for Wakefield Diocese. She recently visited our link parish of Ikizu in Tanzania.
Peta spoke about her journey to Ikizu, the situation the Anglican Church finds itself in in this area of Tanzania, and about the people and location of the church.
These are photos taken by Peta during her visit and were shown during the service.
The previous week, we raised through a bucket collection, enough to buy a large Bible in the people of Ikizu’s own language and a large wooden cross. These will be really important to the church who have to rent a ‘classroom’ in a teachers’ building, and hence does not seem very church-like.
