CANORA - A local World Day of Prayer will he hosted and organized by the women of St. Andrews United Church in Canora.

Kia Orana!

Our siblings in The Cook Islands welcome us and lead us for the Day of Prayer 2025, stated a release. This group of 15 islands in the СÀ¶ÊÓƵ Pacific Ocean has a rich and colourful Maori heritage and a deep connection to nature.

Join with us as we pray together and reflect on the theme “I made you wonderful.” The scripture base is Psalm 139-verses 1-18.

World Day of Prayer is an international, ecumenical movement, which enables us to hear the thoughts of women from all parts of the world: their hopes, concerns and prayers. The preparation for the day is vast, the service begins with the writing country and theme СÀ¶ÊÓƵ chosen a number of years earlier. Once written it goes to the WOP International Committee in New York for translation and dissemination to the National Committee in each participating country.

The service is then discussed and edited before СÀ¶ÊÓƵ presented nationally, regionally and then locally for branches to make their plans. Finally, at a church near you, near or on Friday, March 7, people will gather to celebrate the service prepared by the women of the Cook Islands.

The Day of Prayer is celebrated in over 120 countries. It begins in Samoa and prayer in native languages travels throughout the world – through Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas before finishing in American Samoa some 38 hours later; a worldwide wave of prayer.
