A group of women from all five Churches in Histon and Impington are preparing to lead this year’s World Day of Prayer service at The Salvation Army Hall on Friday 4th March, at 2.30 p.m.
2022 is a special year for World Day of Prayer in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. This year it has been our turn in this country to prepare the service, which will be celebrated in Churches all over the world, on the same day, namely Friday 4th March, all following the same service plan.
The group of writers have found it both challenging and rewarding to write about our country with its landscape, people and culture all shaped by our history. We celebrate our diversity and the contribution made to our countries by the many groups and individuals who have made their home here. The service uses the Bible text from the prophet Jeremiah: “I know the plans I have for you” to reflect on some of the issues facing us today: poverty, domestic abuse and disability, finding hope in difficult situations and encouragement in the help we can give to each other. The resulting service these women have produced is both relevant and honest, thought-provoking and moving.
There will also be refreshments to follow. Everyone is most welcome, – men, women and children, and you are warmly invited to join us.
