World Day of Prayer

Friday, March 4, was World Day of Prayer, "a worldwide movement of Christian women of many traditions who come together to observe a common day of prayer each year, and who, in many countries, have a continuing relationship in prayer and service" (World Day of Prayer website).

The ladies of the Kenyon area celebrated with a program of worship, education, and fellowship, held this year at First Lutheran. At least eight churches of various denominations were represented.





This year's program was written by the World Day of Prayer committee in Chile, so we learned a little about life in Chile and sang some Latin American songs. The theme was "How many loaves have you?" based on Jesus' question to the disciples before he fed a multitude with just a few loaves and fish.





After the program, which was led by talented women from several different congregations, we enjoyed a time of fellowship, and it was a pleasure to meet some folks with whom I don't normally work or worship.
