The evening of prayer aboard Logos Hope on Monday

Nearly one hundred island residents joined the Logos Hope crew on Monday for an evening of worship and prayer.

Opening worship led by the Logos Hope team

The crew gave a warm welcome to Christians from across the Island who gathered for the evening to pray for our fellowship, for young people and their future, and for our Government, and to hear more about the plans for the 18 months of JC33 ….. from January 2031 through to May 2033.

Crew member, Marcus Ruibal, started by welcoming everyone onboard for the evening, co-hosted with Pioneer Minister Alex Brown.

A very busy day

Monday had been a busy day for all on board Logos Hope.  They had docked in the morning and received the Chief Minister and others from Tynwald to welcome them to the island.  In spite of the challenge of low tide and high winds for the vessel at its berth at Victoria Pier, the crew continue to be active and welcoming, ensuring all are kept safe.
