World Day of Prayer will be March 3

The ladies of the church will serve refreshments after the celebration.
This year's theme “Signs of the Times” calls for people to be alert to the conditions in today's world and to be aware that people are called to be agents of transformation and reconciliation. The women of South Africa chose challenging Biblical texts. In Luke 21:5-19, Jesus speaks about traumatic and violent conditions in nature and society, and then gives this direction: “... and that will be your opportunity to bear witness,” He further assures us by saying, “I myself shall give you an eloquence and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to resist or contradict. Your endurance will win you your lives.”
For most South African families and communities, the three-legged iron pot is the symbol of feeding, sharing and fellowship of life in abundance. The theme serves as a sign of God's invitation to receive love and grace in our lives. Just as the pot is anchored by three legs, so are we anchored in and totally dependent on the Trinity. Having been nourished from this source, people may respond by sharing the good news of God's provision in Christ with the world.
