Hosting CIEF: Reflections on the Annual CIEF Summer Conference

It was a truly wonderful sight to see so many gathered at St. Paul's & St. Barnabas Church last night as we proudly hosted the Annual CIEF Summer Conference. The evening was marked by a profound sense of unity and fellowship as members from various congregations across the island came together to celebrate and deepen their understanding of what it means to be part of the Anglican Church.

We were honoured to have Dr. Martin Davie as our keynote speaker. Dr. Davie, a respected theologian and author, shared his insightful perspectives on the essence of Anglicanism. His teachings delved deep into the history, theology, and practice of our faith, reminding us of the rich heritage and spiritual depth that define our church. His message resonated with many, sparking thoughtful discussions and reflections among attendees.

The evening was not just about learning; it was also a time of vibrant worship led by the CIEF team. They guided us through a powerful session of praise and worship, creating an atmosphere filled with the Holy Spirit. The sound of voices lifted in song and the heartfelt prayers offered up created a sense of community and shared purpose. It was a reminder of the strength and beauty that comes from worshiping together as one body in Christ.

We are deeply grateful to all those who worked tirelessly to make this event possible. From the volunteers who organized the logistics to those who ensured the church was beautifully prepared, your dedication and hard work did not go unnoticed. The success of the evening was a testament to the collaborative spirit and generosity of our church family.

A special thank you also goes out to everyone who attended. Your presence and participation were invaluable, and it was wonderful to see such a diverse group of people coming together in faith. Events like these strengthen our bonds and encourage us as we continue to walk in our Christian journey.

As we reflect on the Annual CIEF Summer Conference, we are reminded of the importance of coming together as a community to learn, worship, and grow. Let us carry the lessons and spirit of this evening with us as we move forward, committed to living out our faith and supporting one another in love and fellowship.

May God continue to bless our church and the wider Anglican community. We look forward to many more gatherings that inspire, uplift, and unite us in our shared mission.
