Women’s World Day of Prayer 2013

The origins of Women’s World Day of Prayer date back to the 19th century when Christian women of the USA and Canada initiated a variety of activities in support of women’s involvement in mission at home and other parts of the world. These activities related to:

• Concern for women and children
• The role of prayer in mission work
• A vision of Christian unity
• Biblical study as everyone’s responsibility
• Social issues and working with immigrants
• Linking world peace with world mission

In 1926 the women of North America distributed the worship service to many countries and partners in mission. The response world-wide was enthusiastic, thus the call was issued for a World Day of Prayer. For more info visit www.wwdp.org.uk

We would very much like new choir members. We are meeting on Friday, February 15th at The Citadel, St. Andrews Square for practice. Coffee at 10:00 am for a 10:30 am start.

We are very proud that Hastings and St. Leonard’s host 2 services for this event.

The symbol of the Women's World Day of Prayer was designed in 1982 for the service prepared by women of Ireland, both North and South, and was then adopted as the International Logo.

The design comprises arrows converging from the four points of the compass, four figures kneeling in prayer, the Celtic cross and a circle representing the world and our unity through all our diversity
