WOMEN’S WORLD DAY OF PRAYER (Test)
The
annual service on the first Friday in March for Cirencester was held in
the Baptist Church in Coxwell Street in 2008. The service, attended by
women from all the Christian churches, ran smoothly and was enjoyed by
all. Mrs Sylvia Harker gave the address on the theme ‘God’s wisdom
provides new understanding’. Refreshments were provided after the
service and helped to encourage the fellowship of the participants.
The Baptist Women’s Fellowship hosted an afternoon in February when
excellent slides and a commentary informed us about Guyana whose
Christian women had compiled this year’s service.
In the previous Autumn, a conference had been held in Gloucester in
preparation for the March event, during which three pastors had spoken
about their experiences during their time in Guyana.
In 2009, the Women’s World Day of Prayer will have been written in
Papua New Guinea and St Peter’s RC church will be the host church in
Cirencester for this great world wide event on March 6th at two
o’clock. Make sure you are there. The theme is ‘In Christ there are
many members but only one
body’.
