Programmes & Activities
01Supporting the Anglican Community
Our programs focus largely on making contributions, monetary or otherwise to worthy causes within the Anglican Community. Our latest project was the repair of the bus belonging to the Mothers’ Union Children’s Home, which for some time was out of service; the bus was handed over to the Home at a simple ceremony held on the compound in April.
02Education & Student Support
One of our projects of which we are extremely proud was the awards to Anglican students, along with their respective schools, who excelled in the SEA. Exams. This for some time has been discontinued due to our inability to obtain the necessary information which formed the basis of our decisions. We have also made contributions to schools for competitions such as Bible Quiz and others.
03Spiritual Development
We have held seminars aimed at strengthening our spiritual grip; such occasions are manifested at events such as our Lenten Quiet Day which is held at the beginning of Lent.
04Men’s Health & Wellbeing
We have in the past held seminars which dealt with issues concerning men’s health and are hoping in the future to continue this, especially in the light of the nature of the composition of the members of the Society. In November we celebrated International Men’s Day by holding a seminar at Good Shepherd, the theme of which was ‘Celebrating man and boys through talk’.
05Sharing the Word of God
One of members, Bro Ronald Gibbings, a trained catechist, visits a Primary and a Secondary every week to spread the Word of God.
06Looking Ahead
With the expected resurgence of the group after the Covid experience, it is our hope to continue and expand such activities.
