Women's World Day of Prayer
Saturday 21st January 2012
The Women's World Day of Prayer is to be held this year in 2012 on Friday 2 March.
The organising committee extend to you an invitation to this annual world-wide service of prayer.
This year it has been prepared by the Christian Women of Malaysia and the theme is 'Let Justice Prevail'.
The service on the Island is at 2.00pm on Friday 2 March at the Parish Church of Saint Thomas, Douglas when the Reverend Lynda Brady, Chaplain to Hospice Isle of Man will give the address.
Refreshments will be served after the service.
The symbol of the Women's World Day of Prayer was designed in 1982 for the service prepared by women of Ireland, both north and south, and was then adopted as the International emblem.
The design comprises arrows converging from the the four points of the compass, four figures kneeling in prayer, the Celtic cross and a circle representing the world and our unity through all our diversity.
