Women’s World Day of Prayer
To be held on Friday 1st March, at 19:00, in the church. Please join us for this service which has been written by the women of Slovenia; they invite men, women & children of all ages to “Come –Everything is Ready!”
Their service will encourage us to reflect on the barriers they have faced since the end of the Second World War when their country was a part of Yugoslavia, a Marxist socialist republic.
