On March 8, there will be an evening gathering at Christ Church Trinity that will recognize both International Women’s Day as well as The World Day of Prayer.
International Women’s Day is a global day to recognize and celebrate women’s and girls’ social, economic, cultural, and political achievements.
World Day of Prayer is an international, inter-church event that began around 100 years ago bridging social, geographic, and political barriers in 146 countries. Together we pursue justice, peace, and reconciliation by standing together in prayer and action; uniting to pray for relevant issues affecting women and children.
The 2024 service seems especially compelling as it was prepared by a committee of Christian women of Palestine.
During the gathering we will be encouraged to reflect on the history and challenges faced by this area as citizens struggle for security, peace and independence as well as the efforts that women have made during changes in ruling influences over the last century.
The gathering on March 8 begins at 7 p.m. A virtual option of Zoom is also available with the link available through the wvsm.ca website. All people of goodwill are welcome.
Please consider joining us.
