Cathedral will be transformed on New Year’s Eve
Visitors to St Anne’s Cathedral on New Year’s Eve should prepare for a spectacular multi–sensory experience as the cathedral becomes a canvas for some breath–taking projected images and lighting effects. The display will be part of our diocesan celebration, themed ‘Lights to the World’ and hosted by Bishop Harold.
The lights are just one element in what should be a wonderful evening as the diocese marks the end of a full year of 24–7 Prayer and the start of a Year of Mission. There will be something for all ages with good food, live music and worship before we bring in the New Year and step out into the Year of Mission 2015 together.
The programme starts at 9.00 pm with a gathering over hot food and drinks and live music. There will be crafts for children and an opportunity to finish the year with prayer at one of the interactive prayer stations.
At 10.30 pm it will be time to look back at an amazing year of prayer and to worship with music both traditional and contemporary. Looking forward to the Year of Mission, Bishop Harold will share a message just ahead of midnight when we will bring in 2015 and leave the cathedral as ‘Lights to the World’.
Leading up to New Year’s Eve, Belfast Cathedral will be the venue for the last 3 days of continuous prayer. Anyone is welcome to come and pray in the Chapel of Unity between 7.00 am and 7.00 pm on December 29, 30 and 31 and you may also sign–up online here.
