World Day of Prayer

Women of the Republic of Vanuatu (located in the South Pacific Ocean) have prepared this year’s service. The black and white sandy beaches, coral reefs with coloured fishes, lovely birds, fruits and nuts in the forest, all make the islands a pristine environment but they are vulnerable to frequent tropical storms, earthquakes, cyclones, tsunamis and active volcanoes. Women, men and children of all ages are called to Build on a Strong foundation and live in unity, love and peace in the context of ethnic and cultural diversity like Vanuatu and so many other places around the world.

World Day of Prayer is an international, inter-church organisation which enables us to hear the thoughts of women from all parts of the world; their hopes, concerns and prayers.

World Day of Prayer 2021 is celebrated in over 170 countries. An international committee is based in New York and there are national committees in each participating country. Regional conferences meet to consider the service and then local groups make their plans.

World Day of Prayer 2021 was to take place in March at St George’s but the service was postponed due to the Pandemic. It has now been re-arranged and will  be at St George’s Church on Friday 23rd July at 2pm. Representatives from all of the local churches will be taking part.

Following the service, the congregation will be invited to tea and cake in the hall. Everyone is welcome to this event.
