World Day of Prayer recognises Palestine

World Day of Prayer, Mooroolbark

You are invited to a service at the Mooroolbark Baptist Church 153 Hull Road Croydon on Friday 1 March. The service starts at 10am and is followed by morning tea. The focus country this year is Palestine. The service was prepared by the Christian women of that country. The speaker will be Rev Richard Coombs who worked for 20 years in the Middle East. There will be an offering for a Bible Society project for Palestine.

The World Day of Prayer is a global ecumenical movement led by Christian women who welcome you to join in prayer and action for peace and justice. Through preparation and participation in the worship service, we can come to know how our brothers and sisters of other countries, languages and cultures understand Biblical passages in their context. We can hear their concerns and needs and can feel ourselves in solidarity with them as we pray with and for them.
