WORLD DAY OF PRAYER 2026 - FRIDAY MARCH 6th

Theme: I Will Give You Rest: Come” Matthew 11:28-30
Prepared by WDP Nigeria

This program invites us to recognise that God created each one of us with great attention and loving care. God knows us intimately, and we are special to God in our uniqueness.

When we open the doors of our hearts to this truth, everything in our life changes. We glow from within, and we begin treating others as beloved children of God.

Through this program, we hope people will be spiritually uplifted as they come to trust the great love of God.

World Day of Prayer will be celebrated at
St Mary’s Romsey at 10.30am
St Paul’s Gisborne at 10am.

All are invited to join our local churches in prayer.
