A service for the World Day of Prayer 2024 will be held at St Bartholomew’s Church, Meltham on Friday 1st March at 11am.

A SERVICE FOR EVERYONE! – ALL WELCOME

Statement for World Day of Prayer
The theme of our service this year is from Ephesians 4: 1 – 6. “I beg you, bear with one another in love.” The service was written by a group of Palestinian Christian women before the current conflict and deals with their own personal experiences. Their hope was to encourage and inspire other women around the world to bear with one another in troubled times. As has often happened before, this year’s service has been overtaken by a tragic set of events.

We offer this service, believing that we are called to support the Christian women who created it and we invite all those taking part to listen prayerfully to their voices. We pray with world leaders, relief workers, medical teams and all those praying about the situation, for an end to the killing, and for the wisdom to build a lasting peace
