2. World Day of Prayer 2014
Please put the following notice in parish bulletins in the Central Region:
A World Day of Prayer interdenominational service will be held in Prince George at Sacred Heart Cathedral on Friday, March 7th at 7:00 pm. The origins of the World Day of Prayer date back to the 19th century when Christian women initiated a variety of activities in support of women’s involvement in mission at home and in other parts of the world. For 2014, a committee of Egyptian laywomen prayerfully chose the theme, “Streams in the Desert”. Water, as with many places in the world is a central theme of the future for Egypt.
