Things don’t stand still for long in Dock-World these days… the next big thing that’s happenin’ is the visit of Angus Buchan to the Odyssey this Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Angus is an internationally-renowned evangelist whose book Faith Like Potatoes<\/em> has had a huge impact on countless lives. \u00a0I’ve never seen him in person myself, but by all accounts he’s a hugely engaging speaker – warm, humble, down-to-earth and with a great story to tell.<\/p>\n

The Maizen Grace<\/a> event at the Odyssey this weekend is a free-entrance, open-welcome affair. \u00a0As well as the man himself, there will be worship led by Ian Hannah and music from the Omagh-Waterford Peace Choir. \u00a0Doors open at 6, the event is at 7… spread the word!<\/p>\n

If however you’d like to be a bit more involved behind the scenes, The Dock can help! \u00a0Yesterday I met with the guys organising the show (who had just come straight from meeting the First Minister and Deputy First Minister<\/a>) to have a wee explore around the Odyssey and look into setting up a Prayer Room which could run throughout the event.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>The room we found is the Harbour Room (just opposite Door 18 of the Arena) – and so the plan is to open the Prayer Room from 5pm until lights-out, both nights (Friday and Saturday) of the Angus event. \u00a0There will be a steady supply of coffee, comfy cushions, a great view out over the TQ, and the opportunity to pray – either aloud or quietly; in groups or on your own. \u00a0The idea is just to offer a safe space for prayer throughout the event – praying for the events happening across the corridor in the main auditorium, or for any other prayer requests which might arise.<\/p>\n

So, over to you, Dock-World! \u00a0Doors open to the public at 6 – so from that time on, come and join us in the Harbour Room – for a minute or an hour, whatever suits you. \u00a0The whole event is a great chance for another faith-filled step in building peace here in NI, and it’s happening right in the heart of the city (and in the heart of Dock-World). \u00a0So let’s pray!<\/p>\n

A message from Angus himself to whet your appetite:
