Civic and faith leaders recently gathered at Liverpool Parish Church, along with the NHS and members of police, fire and ambulance services.

It was part of a national Emergency Services Day - known as 999 Day. The event was hosted by Liverpool Parish Church. Mersey Synod was represented by the Moderator, Revd Geoff Felton. He commented:

“This year’s event was especially poignant in the light of the events at Southport. It was an honour to be able to represent the URC at this event and to express our gratitude to all those who seek to keep our communities safe and free from harm’.”
