The local community is warmly invited to take part in the World Day of Prayer service to be held at Holy Trinity Anglican Church on Friday 6 March at 10am.
World Day of Prayer is an international, ecumenical movement led by Christian women and celebrated in more than 170 countries. Each year, worship materials are prepared by women from a different country, offering a unique opportunity to learn about their lives, culture, faith, and hopes. In 2026, the focus country is Nigeria.
Nigeria is a nation of great diversity, rich culture, and deep faith, but it is also a country where many people face daily challenges, including poverty, insecurity, and social division. Through scripture, prayer, music, and stories, the service will reflect the strength, resilience, and faith of Nigerian women, while inviting participants to pray with them and for them.
The theme for this years’ service “I will give you rest: Come” encourages participants to listen deeply to the voices of Nigerian women and to reflect on God’s call to justice, peace, and compassionate action in our own communities and in the wider world.
The service will be followed by morning tea, providing an opportunity for fellowship and conversation. Everyone is welcome, women and men of all ages, church members and visitors alike.
All are encouraged to come and share in this global expression of prayer and unity.
