CHRISTIANS in Dudley are set to meet at Priory Park to pray for the life of the borough.

The event on Sunday, May 20 marks Pentecost - a Christian festival which celebrates when the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus’ followers and is often considered the birthday of the Christian church and the start of the church’s mission in the world.

Led by the Bishop of Dudley, Graham Usher and other church leaders, there will be a short service and a number of prayer activities suitable for both adults and children.

Bishop Graham said: “Dudley Priory was originally a place of Christian prayer and witness making it a perfect location for us to gather together as Christians and praise the God we love.

"We will being praying for those who live or work across Dudley borough, as well as asking for God’s blessing on the real impact Christians have when we work together to serve our neighbours.”

All are welcome to join the celebration at the ruins, which will run from 2.30pm to 4pm.
