TODAY marks the start of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity — an annual event celebrated nationally by churches across the UK.

Several of the churches in Okehampton are contributing to the celebration.

On Sunday, January 22, several members of Christians Together Okehampton are taking part in a pulpit swap where church leaders go to other churches to speak.

This year Fairplace are going to Inspiration, All Saints to Fairplace, New Life to All Saints, the Baptists to New Life, and Inspiration to the Baptists.

Later in the day, at 6.30 pm, at Fairplace Church, there will be a short question panel made up of the church leaders from All Saints, Fairplace, St Boniface RC, Baptists, New Life and Inspiration.
