Australian Church Women will celebrate World Community Day at 10 am on Friday 25th October, at Northside Uniting Church, Bedford Road Andergrove. We will also collect the ‘least coin donations’ that members have collected each time they pray for peace, justice and hope during the previous year.
The Fellowship of the Least Coin is a global prayer movement that supports and advocates for peace, and justice and hopes to promote the physical, mental and spiritual health and well-being of women and girls throughout the world. The money is used to support various programs and projects that raise awareness of women’s issues and to empower and encourage girls and women to succeed. It enables them to learn more about their human rights and the importance of human dignity, enabling them to become financially independent and enhance their ability to achieve their dreams and aspirations in a difficult and often violent environment.
The theme of the Service on 25th October is “Young Women and Older Women Working Together”, and centred on the message in Acts 2:17;
“…I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, and your young people shall see visions, and your old people shall dream dreams.”
I hope you will be able to join us as we get together to pray for a better world.
