World Day of Prayer 2025

World Day of Prayer:  2pm Friday 7th March at St Edward’s

The World Day of Prayer has been around since the 19th century.   A theme developed by the WDP Committee inspires informed prayer and prayerful action.  In 1930, Helen Kim of Korea was the first woman outside of the United States to write the order of worship and It is from these roots that World Day of Prayer has taken its present shape.

This year’s service has been devised by women from the Cook Islands.

Please join us as St Edward’s hosts a joint service prepared by the congregations from St James the Deacon, West Thorpe Methodists and St Stephen’s.

All are welcome.  Refreshments will be served afterwards.
