The annual World Day of Prayer will take place this year on Friday, March 7 with a local service hosted by Cedar Park Church in Ladner.
The country of focus for prayer this year is Egypt, with the program being written by women of Egypt on a theme of Streams in the Desert.
World Day of Prayer is a global ecumenical movement that brings together Christians of many traditions to observe a common day of prayer. Each year a different country is selected to be the prayer focus.
Christians in more than 170 countries around the world and 2,000 communities across Canada will gather together on March 7 to pray for the people of Egypt.
Many Delta churches are supporting and participating in this event. Representatives from the various churches have gathered to prepare for the service that will include music, prayer and liturgy. The guest speaker has worked in the Middle East for several years and will be sharing about how God is working in the hearts and lives of the women of the Arabian peninsula. Refreshments will be served following the service.
Everyone is welcome to the 1 p.m. service.
