Special Collection – Day One Ministries – Sunday 8th August 

Day One Ministries, formerly the Lord’s Day Observance Societycampaigns for Sunday to be a day of worship and rest, particularly as its importance as a Creation ordinance is increasingly under threat from retail businesses, sports events, and entertainment. Since 1978 Day One has been ministering regularly, and with much blessing, to inmates in prisons and Young Offenders Institutes throughout the UK. In the early 1990s Day One began publishing Christian books and resources for adults and children which promote Biblical truths and deal with subjects as diverse as creation/evolution, ethics, children’s topics, evangelism and devotional material. 

Collection points will be in place at all exits
