Peace Light Reaches Plymouth - 02-01-2012
The Peace Light arrived in Plymouth on Tuesday 13th December after being collected at Exeter Services that morning, after travelling from Dover.
On the late afternoon of 13th December
members of the Plymouth Active Support Unit and a member of the Guide Trefoil
Guild took the light to the R.C. Cathedral in Plymouth where it was received
by the R.C. Bishop of Plymouth. Following the Peace Light 2011 prayer the flame
lit a candle in the Cathedral which is kept alight all year.
On Friday
16th December members from the Plymouth ASU , Scouts from the 1st Keyham, 29th
and 35th Plymouth, took the light to the Lord Mayor's Annual Candlelit Carol
Service at our Minster Church, St. Andrew's, where once again the flame lit the
candles, Scouts also helped with the offertory. The Peace Light has taken part
in this service for a number of years.
On Christmas Eve the light, as in the
past few years, was received at the Family Carol Service at St. Mary's Church,
Tamerton Foliot, Plymouth, where this year Lily Cornish, a Cub Scout from the
29th Plymouth, passed the flame over to the Vicar. Following this she lit the
Advent candles. The Peace Light travelled on to Cornwall from Plymouth on the
morning of 13th December.
