Celtic Christian Worship Performing Arts Stage

Celtic Worship is sponsored by the United Presbyterian Church, 2400 W Northmoor Road in Peoria, Illinois and will be led by Rev Anna Saxon and members of the church.

Service is based on liturgy resources and music of the Iona Community in Scotland and the Northumbria Community in England. The Iona Abby was founded by Saint Columba, a noble born Irishman who chose a monastic life. Today’s Iona Community was founded in 1938 by George Macleod, a Glasgow parish minister of the Church of Scotland. It is a Christian Ecumenical Community whose aims are to promote peace, social justice, rebuilding of community and revival of worship.

Admittance to the grounds will be free with a donation of non-perishable food items which will go to United Presbyterian Church to be distributed to other local food pantries.
