Every year, Luton holds a Preparation Day for Women’s World Day of Prayer. During this day, participants get the chance to discover more about the country from which the service comes; this year EGYPT. Women get a chance to sing together when practicing the hymns for the service and they also share together a Bible study session. This year’s Preparation Day is taking place on Monday 27th January at Central Baptist Church in Park Street, from 9:30am – 3pm. The cost for the day is £3. Hot drinks are provided but please bring your packed lunch along. This is a great chance to meet women from all Christian denominations.
Women’s World Day of Prayer truly is a global event. Women from 170 countries, from Samoa to Albania to Taiwan, circle the world in prayer for 36 hours! This year participants will learn about Egypt’s culture and way of life, and what life is like for women and children living there. This year’s theme, Streams in the Desert, promises to make this an inspirational and hope-filled event of women coming together to pray and celebrate, living out together the calling to informed prayer and prayerful action.
