WORLD DAY OF PRAYER 2018 - 2nd March
This year’s local gathering will be hosted by St Lucia Uniting Church (cnr Hawken Drv and Swann Rd) at 10.30am on Friday 2 March. Members of our parish and other Christian denominations and faiths are invited to attend. Morning tea will be served after the prayers. World Day of Prayer is a global ecumenical movement which brings Christians of many traditions together to observe a common day of prayer each year. Through preparation and participation in the worship service, we can come to know how our sisters of other countries, languages & cultures understand the Biblical passages in their context. We can hear their concerns and needs and can feel ourselves in solidarity with them as we pray with and for them. In this way, it is possible to enrich our Christian faith as it grows deeper and broader in an international, ecumenical expression.
This year’s host country is Suriname and the theme, prepared by the women, is “All God’s Creation is Very Good!” (Bible study text is Genesis 1: 1-31). The Republic of Suriname lies in the north-eastern part of South America. Named after the Surinen tribe, one of the indigenous peoples of the land. It is part of the Guianas, an ecological region within the Amazon. Religions are practiced are Christianity (approx. 48.4%), Hinduism (approx. 22.2%), Islam (approx. 13.8%), Traditional Religions (approx. 1.8%), Javanism (approx. 0.8%) and a small percentage of the Jewish faith and other religions.
