The West Clare Christian Fellowship has been meeting in the former Methodist Chapel in Kilkee for the last 25 years. They have been able to use the chapel due to the generosity of the Methodist Church. However, after 2 years of not meeting in the chapel due to Covid they are now having to find new ways of worship as the building is no longer available to them. Mary Hamilton talks to Stephen about a new vision for ministry in West Clare Christian Fellowship and also gives an update on the former Lighthouse Keeper's house the fellowship owns on Scattery Island which they are developing as a quiet space for worship and reflection.
