Churches in Sierra Leone will be holding their three-day Annual Conference for members from the Countess of Huntingdon’s Connexion churches from Friday 7 to Sunday 9 February 2020.

The event will be held at St Mark’s Cathedral in Waterloo, and the theme for this year is Psalm 23 ‘The Lord is our Shepherd’. The Conference will conclude on Sunday 9 February with a special Thanksgiving Service.

Prior to the Conference an Episcopal Message has been distributed by Magnus Bendu to all members of The Connexion churches in Sierra Leone.

Episcopal Message for 2020

People of God I greet you all as we celebrate another year in the Gregorian calendar. The last year 2019, brought different things to different people – some joyful, some painful but God was the same in all circumstances.

Whatever your assessment of the past year is - positive or negative,  take heed to what the Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:18: “In everything, give thanks: for this is the will of God concerning you.” I therefore urge you this year to bring anything you want to do before God and ask for His perfect will. He will lead you to greener pastures if you follow Him.

I want to assure you that in 2020 the Lord shall be your Shepherd and you shall not be in want because He is able to provide all your needs. Therefore all I implore you to do is believe in the Lord Jesus, walk through any valley and shadow without fear; but always dwell in His presence and His goodness and mercy shall follow you.
