The Women’s World Day of Prayer was began in America and Canada in the nineteenth century, and is now followed in over 170 countries, in over 1000 languages, all on the same day.
Each year the women of a different country prepare a theme,and in 2017 the service has been prepared by women of the Philippines. (2016 was Cuba, and 2018 will be Suriname.)
The Churches in Abingdon have been taking part for many years, and this year will join together at Abingdon Baptist Church for two versions of the service.
Everyone is welcome to attend either service.
Bummer that it doesnt work.
How do you know? Did you think prayer is a slot machine: money in, chocolate out?
Or is it a wrestling match, where you struggle with things that often defeat you?
