Over 3 million people worldwide will be praying and worshipping during this annual day of prayer, using a form of service prepared by Christian women of Malaysia. The theme is Let Justice Prevail and although organised by women it is a day of prayer for everyone, so men are very welcome too.
Here in Droitwich our service is at St Andrew's, 10.30am, and David Owen is our speaker.
There are also services at 2pm in Elmley Lovett Church and at 7.30pm in Fernhill Heath Baptist Church to which you would be most welcome.
