World Day of Prayer Service – Friday 5th March 2021

Sadly, in 2021 the World Day of Prayer service will only be held on line. The good news is that it will be broadcast on St Mary’s Ewell Facebook and YouTube sites. It will be available to view from 10:00am on Friday 5th March at http://bit.ly/StMarysEwellYouTube.

Build on a Strong Foundation

World Day of Prayer is an international, ecumenical organisation which enables us to hear the thoughts of women from different parts of the world. This year the service has been produced by the women of the Republic of Vanuatu which is located in the South Pacific Ocean. The service is based on the parable in Matthew 7: 24-27 of the two houses, one built on sand, the other on a strong foundation. Before the service try and find a stone. During the service a stone will be used as an aid to your commitment to hold Vanuatu in your prayers throughout the year. The stone is also a reminder that if we build our lives on the rock which is Christ, we will have a strong foundation.
