“On the Journey Together” is
the theme of the 1991 World Day of
Prayer service to be held at Duff's
United Church in Walton at 7:30
p.m. on Friday. March 1.
In preparing the service the
writers travelled many miles to
hear the stories of women and to
reflect with them on their- faith
journeys. The women of Kenya
share their hopes and struggles
and take you on a journey with
them in their country.
Those who gather at the service
are invited to reflect on experi
ences. and what it means as
Christians in Canada to travel with
the sisters and brothers in Kenya.
Each year the World Day of
Prayer service is written by women
of a different country and distribut
ed worldwide by the International
Committee for the World Day of
Prayer, which has representatives
from 170 countries. The Interna
tional Committee had its quadrenn
ial meeting in Jamaica in August of
1990 to plan for the next four years
and to select the themes and writer
countries for the services.
World Day of Prayer in Canada is
sponsored by the Women’s Inter
Church Council of Canada, which
has representaitves from 11 de
nominations. Local services are
organized by ecumenical groups
across the country. The offerings
are used to provide study and
worship resources, to cover costs of
printing and distributing the ser
vices and to support ecumenical
projects in Canada and abroad.
Last year, grants of $40,554 were
given to a variety of projects
including education and skill
development for low income
women in Montreal, the set-up of
an ecumenical centre in Czecho
slovakia and services to victims of
wife abuse in Peru, Belize, Winni
peg, and the eastern Arctic.
