The denominational day of prayer is scheduled for Wednesday, March 11. The origin of this tradition goes back to the Netherlands (Holland). The reformed churches regularly called for a time of prayer in the spring time to ask God for His blessing upon the work on the fields. Later on, this was extend- ed to include all the various opportunities and kinds of work on which we depend so much. World Day of prayer was held on Friday March 6th at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Clinton. Women from our congregation at- tended the service and I was invited to speak at the Blyth service. The liturgy of the In- terdenominational service was based on ancient In- dians' deep respect for nature, the earth, the water and sky. The service called for repentance as a people for our using and abusing this beautiful gift from God. The Lenten Season - the six weeks before Good Friday haze begun_.1s tradion is observed by many churches in preparation for our remembrance and celebra- tion of this deeply mean- ingful event to our faith. Ho- ly Communion will be celebrated on Good Friday at the 10 a.m. service. Last Saturday about 35 people enjoyed a delicious Vietnamese dinner in the church. The host and hostess were Rev. and Mrs. Khiet Truong from Grand Rapids.
