World Day of Prayer
World Day of Prayer, March 1, is a worldwide ecumenical movement of Christian women of many traditions who come together to observe a common day of prayer each year on the first Friday in March. World Day of Prayer was founded on the idea that prayer and action are inseparable in the service of God’s kingdom. Services begin at sunrise in the Pacific and follow the sun across the globe on the day of celebration. Each year a different country’s committee serves as the writers of the World Day of Prayer worship service. This year’s service will be held on Friday, March 1 at 1:30 p.m. at Church of the Brethren, 22 E. Oak Street. There will be light refreshments available in the fellowship hall following the service.
