Community Event - Sarnia - World Day of Prayer at Downtown Sarnia Church
The World Day of Prayer will be celebrated at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church on Friday, March 2 at 2 p.m.
This ecumencial, worldwide service was written by the women of Suriname, a South American country on the north shore of the Atlantic.
Its theme is "All God's Creation is Very Good". The service is followed by fellowship and refreshments. All are welcome.
The motto of the World Day of Prayer movement is Informed Prayer and Prayerful Action.
In Canada, it is organized by the Women’s Inter-Church Council of Canada, WICC, an independent organization of Canadian Christian Women committed to ecumenism, women’s spiritual growth, social justice and women’s issues. Offerings received provide grants for projects in Canada and throughout the world.
The first Day of Prayer began in 1920 and two years later became the World Day of Prayer. The day of prayer is now celebrated in 170 countries around the world.
