Worshippers packed St Mary the Virgin Church for the Diocese of Jamaica and the Cayman Islands St Andrew Deanery Day service last Sunday.

The churches from the St Andrew Deanery turned out for the annual service which is usually followed by a discussion on issues facing the Anglican communion and the taking of policy decisions.

The service was held under the theme, 'The Environment: Hope for the Future'. The message was delivered by Dr Las Newman, lay reader of St Andrew Parish Church on Hagley Park Road.
