Friday 2 March, at St Anne’s Church over 3 million people worldwide will take part in the World Day of Prayer Service, which this year has been prepared by the Christian women of Malaysia with the theme “Let justice prevail.” The Sunbury Chorale will lead the singing. Prayer booklets will be available. As James prayed;:”Father may they all be one… so that the world may believe that you have sent me” (John 17:21) “Prayer is common to the should of the whole ceremonial movement.” (Catholic Catechism No 821) As the host Church this year, a large representation of our parishioners would be a sign of our hospitality.
Founded in 1887, this international Order of Service is translated into more than sixty languages and 1000 dialects in 176 countries and islands. In Australia, nearly 100000 people are expected to participate in over 1300 Services to be held in Churches, Centres, Schools and Nursing Homes.
In Sunbury, the service will be held at St Anne’s Church on Friday 2 March at 7.30pm with supper to follow. All parishioners are invited to join our sisters and brothers from other Christian Churches in this special service.
A plate of supper to share after the service would be much appreciated.
