This will take place instead of the previously planned Mother’s Union meeting.
The World Day of Prayer service for 2024 has been prepared by the Christian women of Palestine. It is a service that would have been written many years ago, before the current situation in Israel and Palestine began.
Although organised by the Mothers’ Union this service is open to all. We look forward to seeing you there.
